STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT FOR INCLUSIVE WATER GOVERNANCE
Decisions makers will be forced to make tough choices about how to manage water for inclusive growth and environmental stability. Better engaging stakeholders both within and outside the water sector can help ensure these choices are the right ones, and are implemented effectively
Stakeholder engagement holds specific importance in water because this is a highly decentralised and fragmented sector, with multiple, interdependent players at different levels of government.
Governments have an important role to play in establishing an institutional environment that encourages exchange and more bottom-up decision-making processes.
PUBLICATION This report assesses the current trends, drivers, obstacles, mechanisms, impacts, costs and benefits of stakeholder engagement in the water sector.
