During 4th World Water Forum in Mexico, 8 new twinnings have been selected in line with Project Guidelines and recommendations.
In these twinnings, for the first time was accepted a twinning with 3 basins organisations (Kenya – United Kingdom – Poland)
From geopolitical point of view, this 3rd Call For Proposals also carried out interesting elements as projects between: Israel – Palestine, United Kingdom – Pakistan, Kenya-Uganda etc …
TwinBasin is now supporting 22 twinnings projects.

3rd TwinBasin’s Steering Committee took place on Monday, 20th March. During this time, the new twinning proposals selected during the 3rd call for proposals were be approved, and some modifications on the TwinBasin project were accepted.
Two great satisfactions are to be noted for the project within 4th World Water Forum:
• The fact that a Specific session was led by both Agence de l’Eau Seine Normandie (France) and Comision Nacional del Agua (Mexico) on the results of their twinning till now; Jointly with the session, a very successful Press Conference was hold on this twinning and exemplary cooperation;
• INBO also realised specific Sessions and allowed contributions from Twinbasin project, especially through the topic “Involvement of Water Users and Civil Society in Decision Making process”, thanks to on-the field experiences developed during twinning activities.
