The APWF aims to: increase the region’s access to improved water supplies and sanitation; protect and restore river basins; and reduce people’s vulnerability to water disasters. It is tasked with the organization of an Asia-Pacific Water Summit in December 2007, which is to be held in Oita Prefecture, Japan. Governing Council participants commented positively on the draft summary report on the key messages of the Asian Water and Development Outlook and focused on the Index of Drinking Water Adequacy introduced in the report. The Council also discussed APWF’s proposed media strategy and networking activities.
