Finnish_water_development_strategy_seminar_Jan_05

The objective of the Water Seminar was to elaborate, analyse and discuss systematically
the global and local connections of water resources, water supply, sanitation and
development with a geographical focus to the partner areas of Finnish development cooperation.
While so doing, water’s many roles were echoed in achieving the concurrent development paradigms such as the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation, UN Millennium Development Goals, etc. Of particular interest were the crosscutting
roles of water and sanitation in development. Thereby, the seminar supported the longterm
planning of the Finnish development cooperation
by giving guidance on alternative future priorities and approaches for the Finnishsupported
water and sanitation development.
