Local Actions for a Global Challenge
March 16, 2006 - March 22, 2006
El Centro Banamex, Mexico City, México
The main theme of the 4th World Water Congress will be "local actions for global challenge." The activities of the 4th World Water Forum will, therefore, seek to harness the practical, intellectual, financial, and political means to support local action on a global scale.

The forum will address the decisive factors in the accomplishment of common goals by diverse actors in diverse places, searching to enable an improved involvement and empowerment of local actors in the social construction of solutions to water issues and a more appropriate channeling of domestic and international support for local actions worldwide
The Ministerial Component aims to foster a dialogue between ministers and stakeholders participating in the forum, the final product of which will be a Ministerial Declaration.
The participating governments intend to create a declaration that will reflect all the commitments made in other international fora, and that will invoke the validation of local projects and actions that are currently being implemented with the support of NGOs, local and national governments, international agencies and organizations.
The Ministerial Conference will take place on March 21 and 22, 2006.
