The Water for the People Network organized a capacity building workshop on the Right to Water (RTW) last July 10-11 at the IBON Center. The workshop was participated by around 20 water advocates from different sectors and regions in the Philippines.

Based on the evaluations from the pre-test workshop participants, the RTW module will be revised in time for the South Asia RTW capacity building workshop in Bangkok this October 26, 2007.

On July 13, the Water for the People Network (WPN) Steering Group had a meeting and agreed on the following:

• to establish a portal for each country within the WPNA website www.w4pn.org wherein country-specific information on water issues and campaigns may be uploaded;
• to organize a South Asia RTW workshop in Bangkok on October 26th;
• to launch an IFI WATER WATCH which is the first monitoring body of water projects funded by (although not limited to) IFIs in Asia; and
• to conduct researches on People's Alternative Water Resource Management (PAWRM) systems which will be published and presented during a half-day workshop in Bangkok in October.
