InterAcademy Panel on International Issues (IAP)

• The InterAcademy Panel, launched in 1993, is a
  global network of Science Academies.
• It currently has 104 members, representing
  virtually every merit-based Science Academy in
  the world.
• IAP is headquartered under the administrative
  umbrella of the secretariat of The Academy of
  Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS), located
  in Trieste, Italy.
• Funded by the Italian Government.
• Provides advice on scientific aspects of
  critical global issues.

Objectives of the Water Programme

• Develop local capacity building in water
  management.
• Network water researchers and managers to
  enhance water management capacity in the
  developing world.
• Address policy and decision makers on how to
  cope with the challenge of assuring global access
  to safe-drinking water.
• Increase public awareness on emerging water
  crisis
• Call to the table major regional and
  international water programmes to discuss
  complementary work and to avoid duplication of
  efforts and funds.

Challenges

• Success of the Water Programme much depends on
  the ability to decentralize actions
• Challenge to engage Science Academies and to
  stimulate Regional Networks of Science Academies
  to assume a leading role
• IAP Water Programme can act as a platform to
  enhance the visibility of Science Academies, thus
  strengthening their capacity to advise government
  and society
• Increasing global access to safe drinking water
  is most certainly a paramount challenge where
  Science has a role to play and where the Science
  Academies can transform into action their
  commitment of bridging Science to the pressing
  problems facing society.

Regional Organization in Asia

• Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of
  Sciences leads the AASA Clean Water a Step
  Forward programme
• Strong coordination effort with the Chinese
  Academy of Sciences and the Royal Scientific
  Society - Jordan
• Workshop on "Strengthening the Collaboration
  between the AASA Clean Water Programme and the
  IAP Water Programme (Oct 2009)
• Discussed how to better integrate action in
  Asia, engaging AASA and FASAS more effectively in
  the coordination of the programme.
• Promoting the Water  Programme in Asia as a Too
  l for the Strengthening of the Advisory Role of S
  cience Academies Workshop Beijing, Sept 17-18,
  2010.

Regional Organization in Europe

• EASAC and ALLEA will be approached to discuss
  the engagement of these regional networks in the
  coordination of the Water Programme in Europe
• Several Academies willing to participate more
  effectively
• Strong Academies from developed countries in
  Europe can provide assistance and Academies from
  scientifically lagging countries can benefit from
  a regional water programme
• Focus on developing countries in Eastern
  Europe.
• Towards Engineering Harmony Between Water,
  Ecosystem and Society. Strengthening the
  Collaboration between European Academies of
  Science in the IAP Water Programme Workshop
  Zakopane, Sept 10-11, 2010.

  Programme Workshop assembled experts from 7
  African countries
• Nov 2007- 3rd Annual Conference of the African
  Science Academy Development Initiative (ASADI) on
  the value of evidence-based advice to improve
  access to usable water
• June 2008 - IAP Regional Water Workshop on
