– In memory of JWF Vice-President Professor Norihito Tambo
It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Prof. Norihito Tambo, Vice-President of the Japan Water Forum (JWF) on 6 August, 2023. We, the staff of the JWF, offer our deepest condolences to his family and friends, and pray that his soul may rest in peace.
In 2003, when water issues were becoming more severe around the world and attracting global attention, the 3rd World Water Forum took place at the Lake Biwa and Yodo River Basin in Japan. Prof. Tambo served as a member of the Forum’s national steering committee. At the time, he was president of the University of the Air (and former president of Hokkaido University). He guided the committee, giving valuable advice as a leading figure in the field of water with extensive international experience. On his advice, an important principle of the forum was decided: that it was to be open to all. A great diversity of participants from all over of the world were invited, resulting in great success.
Based on his vast experience, Prof. Tambo always looked to the future and encouraged our young members, educating them by showing them how to build a sound future for society. His excellent leadership made the JWF what it is today. He was organization’s compass, giving it direction into the future.
We bid farewell to Prof. Tambo. May his soul rest in peace.

– JWF Fund 2020 Follow-up Observation Reports
The JWF’s main priority in funding project is responding to onsite issues and needs in an efficient and effective way.
Since 2015, we have been carrying out follow-up observations after the completion of projects in order to understand changing issues and needs.
In FY 2022, we received favorable responses to JWF’s request for follow-up observations from three of the seven, grass-roots organizations, in Cameroon, Pakistan, and Kenya, all of which were JWF Fund 2020 recipients. Thanks to their cooperation, we were able to conduct our follow-up observations successfully.
