The ultimate goal of the International Network for Water and Ecosystem in Paddy Fields (INWEPF) is to realize the three challenges namely "Food security and poverty alleviation", "Sustainable water use" and "Partnership".

In order to achieve these goals, the INWEPF is established to provide a framework for promoting better water management for paddy fields toward rural development with due consideration for the environment through a variety of activities including Virtual Meeting, workshops, symposiums and other knowledge exchange and capacity building activities.
