The Water Dialogues International Final Conference, hosted by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development in Bonn, took place on 7th and 8th December 2009 with 57 participants. The Conference objectives included:

• the aim to share experiences of dialogue, findings from National Water Dialogues processes, and the International Summary report and messages;
• the desire to reflect on the value and limitations of multistakeholder processes;
• and the intention of exploring the future of multistakeholder dialogue.

As highlighted during the Final Conference proceedings, there is demand for the expertise and knowledge accrued during The Water Dialogues lifespan to continue to be available as a resource. Hence, a Practitioners Group has been established on this website for this purpose.

The Water Dialogues thanks BMZ, DFID and PPIAF for their support in making the project a success and the Final Conference a reality.
