The document discusses the GWP ToolBox, which aims to share knowledge and promote capacity building to support integrated water resource management (IWRM). It contains over 57 tools and case studies to help implement IWRM. The ToolBox focuses on upgrading its tools to support GWP's 2009-2013 strategy and shifting from just introducing tools to applying them. It also works to maintain partnerships and facilitate knowledge exchange between regions. Usage varies by region depending on language barriers and internet access. Future plans include further enhancing tools, documenting GWP experience, and increasing academic sector use of the ToolBox.

I wish to highlight that Knowledge dissemination and sharing is very complex. It includes processes (menuj) and enablers (menuj) GWP has an ambition to create the enabling environment that brings together other knowledge partners. Stong complication in this process is that IWRM invloves many sectors (agricultures, transport, energy, industry) and includes many countries (as water does not recognize administrative borders)
