CAMACHO AND MAHAYNI NAMED TO SWP LEADERSHIP

The Sustainable Water Partnership (SWP) is pleased to announce the additions of Rodolfo Camacho and Basil Mahayni to our team as we work to enhance water security around the world. 

CHARTING A ROAD MAP TO WATER SECURITY 

The inaugural meeting of the Stung Chinit River Basin Management Committee brought together Cambodian leaders from government, industry and community groups to address shared threats to water security in the region.


PRESERVING WATER IN HIS HOMELAND

Bunnara Min's grandparents told him, "Where we have forest, there we have water." As the team leader for SWP Cambodia, Min is taking that message to heart in order to make sure Cambodians have access to water, now and in the future. 

 

HAPPENING TOMORROW


SWP will co-host a panel tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C., exploring the connection between fragility and water security. Continuing in the tradition of Winrock International's 2017-2018 Water@Wilson series, the panel is the second of three events this year exploring how water security impacts other aspects of international development.
