Venue: Pretoria, South Africa

Summary:
The International HELP Symposium on 'Local Solutions to Global Water Problems- Lessons from the South' aims at bridging the gap between science and policy to solve water related issues at the local, national and international levels. HELP is creating a new approach to integrated catchment management through the creation of framework for water law and policy experts, water resource managers and water scientists to work together on water-related problems. Participation of the 67 basin organizations from 56 UNESCO partner countries makes this a tremendous knowledge sharing opportunity on how to put HELP into action. The HELP International Symposium is being organized by the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF) of South Africa, in partnership with UNESCO HELP. Highlights will include technical and poster sessions, thematic discussions, workshops, receptions and a field trip to the Olifants River HELP basin.

Organizers: Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF) of South Africa, in partnership with IWMI and UNESCO/HP HELP
