ADB and the Netherlands Water Partnership (NWP) hosted the Asia Netherlands Water Learning Week (ANWLW) in The Hague, The Netherlands, on 15-19 April.

The ANWLW was a week-long intensive program that brought together project teams from across the Asian Development Bank (ADB)’s developing member countries with water experts from the Netherlands.

Objectives:

The participants developed knowledge and shared experiences regarding ‘Nature-Based Solutions’ applicable to cities, coasts, and river basins through lectures, interactive sessions, and field visits. ANWLW gave the participants from ADB’s project teams a platform to discuss with experts, address challenges, and explore potential solutions from both Dutch and international perspectives. Emphasis was placed on adapting these solutions to the unique contexts of developing member countries.
