Partnership Model
Australia’s long-standing involvement in water resources management in the region and its internationally recognised expertise is founded on decades of experience in reforming its domestic water sector, to create better and more sustainable systems for managing and allocating water between competing uses. Australia’s reputation as an honest broker and reliable partner offers an opportunity to collaborate with governments internationally to respond to very significant development challenges in support of sustainable water resources management. The Australian Water Partnership (AWP) is an innovative partnership model that provides an effective mechanism to connect requests for assistance from governments internationally through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to Australian water sector expertise.
