GBM 2020

Due to COVID-19 pandemic and the notification made for postponing the Second International High Level Conference on the International Decade for Action “Water for Sustainable Development”, 2018-2028 to a later date in future, RCUWM Governing Board Meeting (GBM-2020) could not be organized on 17 June 2020 in Dushanbe, Tajikistan as earlier approved during the GBM-2019.

To follow article No. 7.3 of UNESCO-RCUWM agreement which states that: “The GB shall meet in ordinary session at regular intervals, at least once every calendar year” the GB Meeting-2020 is planned to be organized online (e-meeting) on Wednesday 23 September 2020, 10:00 am, GMT.

Worth noting that the meeting’s main discussion will be centered on the project proposals approved during GBM-2019 and the way forward in promoting GB members’ contribution. The proposals have transferred earlier and they have been already uploaded on rcuwm.ir/gbm2019/
