In its role as organiser and host of the 2005 World Water Week in Stockholm, the Stockholm International Water Institute has taken upon itself the responsibility to author the Key, Political, Business and Scientific conclusions found in the Synthesis and represent SIWI’s analysis, prepared for the benefit of the participants and the broader water and development communities, of the range of issues, ideas and viewpoints addressed during the week in their totality. The Workshop and Seminar conclusions, on the other hand, are contributed by the respective co-convening organisations.
