欧盟水倡议是欧盟委员会于2002年建立的一个跨国、多方合作伙伴关系，旨在支持世界各地的水治理改革。对该倡议的两个区域组成部分-（a）非洲和（B）东欧、高加索和中亚-进行了研究，重点是其组织结构、活动、政策和成就。分析提供了证据，证明水部门的区域对话与合作有所改善，但也指出了持续存在的弱点，特别是缺乏资源、自主权和对倡议总体目标的相互理解。
This article examines the activities and achievements of the European Union Water Initiative, a transnational, multi-actor partnership established in 2002 by the European Commission to support water governance reforms around the world. Two regional components of the initiative - (a) Africa and (b) Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia - are studied with a focus on their organizational structures, activities, policies and achievements. The analysis provides evidence for improved regional dialogue and cooperation in the water sector, but also points to persistent weaknesses, in particular a lack of resources, ownership and mutual understanding as to the overall aims of the Initiative.
