5. International Center for Integrated Water Resources Management (ICIWaRM) • The mission of ICIWaRM is: “The advancement of the science and practice of integrated water resources management (IWRM) to address water security and other water-related challenges by regional and global action, through new knowledge, innovative technologies, collaborative interdisciplinary scientific research, networking, training and capacity development, within the framework of UNESCO’s International Hydrological Programme (IHP)”. • A priority focus of ICIWaRM is on partnering and working with other UNESCO-IHP centers to advance US Government objectives in assisting nations in Latin America & the Caribbean, Africa and Asia.

6. ICIWaRM - Program Goals IWRM Practice BMP’s Contribute to the development & advocacy of IWRM principles and best management practices, focusing on institutional, engineering, planning and evaluation issues. Undertake capacity-development focusing on training for implementing IWRM at both watershed and national levels, particularly in Latin America, Africa & Asia, working closely in collaboration among UNESCO centers towards joint problem-solving. ICIWaRM: International Center for Integrated Water Resources Management Capacity Development Foster research, tech development and technology transfer of models and methods that enhance IWRM .
