The Indus Forum: Collaborative research and knowledge support on the Indus River Basin

The Indus Forum is a multi-stakeholder platform that brings together leading governments and academic and research institutions from the four riparian countries of the Indus River basin – Afghanistan, China, India, Pakistan – to address knowledge gaps in water resource management, and to inform policy makers about basin-wide water availability, its potential impacts on communities, and possible adaptation strategies. Since 2019, ICIMOD has been the Secretariat of the Forum, coordinating programme activities, and providing secretarial and administrative support.
