The annual World Water Week in Stockholm seeks to provide a meeting place for capacity-building, partnership-building and follow-up on the implementation of international processes and programmes in water and development. It includes plenary sessions and panel debates, scientific workshops, independently-organised seminars and side events, exhibitions and prize ceremonies in the water field. The meeting is intended for experts from businesses, governments, the water management and science sectors, inter-governmental organisations, NGOs, research and training institutions and United Nations agencies. This year’s theme is: ‘Beyond the River – Sharing Benefits and Responsibilities.”
