The General Assembly is the opportunity for all members of the World Water Council to influence the strategic orientation of the organization by voting on policies and programs. It is also the occasion for members to elect the representatives of the Board of Governors for a term of three years, approve the triennial budget, and adopt the work program and By-Laws.

A total of 35 Governors representing 5 colleges of members are elected during the General Assembly. During the 8th General Assembly, the members of the World Water Council will:

• Adopt the work program of the Council for the next mandate as well as the general policies and strategies for this period 
• Approve the auditor’s report, the annual financial statements, the accounts of the Council and the estimates of income and expenditure
• Adopt any amendments to the By-Laws of the Council
• All member organizations of the Council are entitled to present a candidate to the Board of Governors. Each college is allocated between four and nine seats on the Board, the number being calculated on the basis of the number of active member organizations within that college. Contact the WWC Secretariat for more information
