Transboundary Water Cooperation
National Commitment, Stakeholders and IWRM in the Mekong, the Nile and SADC/Zambezi
Lessons learned and which way forward?
Copenhagen, March 1-2, 2007, at Eigtveds Pakhus, Denmark
The objective of the workshop was to identify ways forward in which transboundary water cooperation can be improved. The workshop focussed on two key challenges in governance arrangements in three major river basins:
- The level of national commitment to transboundary water cooperation
- The level of stakeholder involvement.
Based on comparative analyses and the outcome of two workgroup sessions, the workshop will draw up lessons learnt and identify ways forward for addressing these key challenges in transboundary water cooperation. These will be presented in a report from the workshop.
The workshop was sponsored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and DWF.
