Water is a fundamental platform for
economic and social development, and contributes to reducing
multiple dimensions of poverty. It is essential to food and
energy security, industrial growth, and the protection of
ecosystems. Water has been going through unprecedented
pressures as growing populations and economies have
increased demand and at the same degraded supplies. As a
result, water insecurity has become one of the greatest
risks facing the world today. The WPP's strategic
action plan describes the program's vision and
strategic directions for its second phase, running from July
2012 to June 2016. It explains the rationale for scaling-up
activities and provides details of the structural changes
under second phase. The objectives, impacts, and expected
outcomes of second phase are outlined in the next section.
In addition, the strategic action plan includes plans to
scale up partnership efforts, communications and knowledge
management. Finally, it presents a new results framework to
measure the impact of second phase.
