6th GEF Biennial International Waters Conference
17.10. - 20.10.2011
The Sixth GEF Biennial International Waters Conference, as with prior IW Conferences, will be a signature active training and experience-sharing event for the GEF IW focal area. The general objective of the GEF Biennial International Waters Conference is to facilitate portfolio-wide experience sharing. They also exist to solicit advice from the IW project portfolio on burning issues and assist in building participant capacity in key management and technical areas.
This year's Conference will coincide with the 20th anniversary of the GEF's establishment. Thus the Conference will be organized under the slogan Raising the Bar: 20 Years of GEF Transboundary Water Results, and will focus on knowledge sharing on water management issues and results after investments since 1991. There will be sub-themes focusing on environmental finance (featuring a first-time corporate and social responsibility roundtable with private sector companies), as well as considerations of the institutional & sectoral transformation.
Accommodation can be booked in Valamar Lacroma Dubrovnik Hotel **** and Tirena Hotel ***, located within walking distance from the conference venue.
