eWater Group manages the flagship, the Australian Water Partnership.
Established in 2015 by the Australian Government, through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Australian Water Partnership mobilises Australia’s water resource management skills and knowledge in response to the demands from partners across the Indo-Pacific.
The AWP has over 240 Australian partners, many from the private sector, that work with governments and multilateral partners such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, to enhance sustainable water management and pursue the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
The Australian Water Partnership Approach
AWP supports a range of activities that draw on Australian expertise to respond to requests for assistance from our In-country and International Partners. These activities are framed across four water use domains within the context of managing water scarcity and security: river basins, irrigation modernisation, integrated urban water management and environmental water (quantity and quality).
There are also several cross-cutting priorities that AWP is committed to improving across its activities, such as gender equality, disability, and social inclusion in the management of water, fostering young and emerging water professionals, and achieving positive outcomes within the water-food-energy nexus.
AWP work in collaboration with In-country and International Partners in priority countries in South Asia, South-East Asia, East Asia and the Pacific, and with other countries outside the Indo-Pacific on a selective basis: View our activity portfolio.
