  9. As of December 2010, the 17 confirmed water knowledge hubs are available and same candidate water hubs. Observations: For the Philippines, we may like to share that we have not fully utilized the available knowledge hubs by just accessing the website. We may also pose this question to other AMS in terms of full benefits. Updates

  10. Recommendations It is recommended that after several years of implementation of the ASEAN Strategic Plan of Action on Water Resources Management, it is already time to review and evaluate if the objectives are met. In this regard, as lead of the Knowledge Sharing and Exchange, we are requesting external support to assist us in the review and evaluation of the activity and recommend actions to achieve the objectives set in the plan.
