• Water Summit

The Asia-Pacific Water Summits will be organized by the APWF every two or three years. It will target top-level policy and decision-makers outside the water sector, such as heads of the government and ministers of finance and planning, as well as leaders from the private sector, civil society and the media.

The Summits will create incentives for these leaders to showcase tangible water sector results in their respective countries, as reflected by increased water investments, adoption and implementation of strategic reforms, improved water governance at all levels, and significant progress in reaching the MDGs. The Governing Council will report on the key findings from the APWF process (KRAs, Priority Themes, and appropriate sub-regional results) to the top-level leaders at the Summit.

Participation in the Summits will be by invitation only.

The 1^st Asia-Pacific Water Summit will be organized in Japan in 2007. The Steering Committee for the Summit will carry out the necessary organization of the event and will mobilize the required funding with assistance from member organizations of APWF and other interested parties.
