Webinar: Participation of Stakeholders, Civil Society and Youth in the management of the basins of rivers, lakes & aquifers​

Nowhere in the world is there a single manager who is solely responsible for the governance of freshwater resources, their related structures and services!

If the national or transboundary administrations and their specialized agencies enable to define the institutional framework, to implement and manage the main structuring infrastructure and then to mobilize part of the funding, the regional and local authorities, like the States of a federation, the Provinces or municipalities, but also farmers, companies, fishermen and other economic stakeholders play a key role with the associations for mobilizing the citizens and carrying out many local projects that contribute to the success of the basin management plans.

The implementation of many decisions is only possible when there is a strong commitment and if all public and private, collective or individual stakeholders concerned are mobilized.

This webinar (which will be translated into English, French and Spanish) will present how to best organize this mobilization of stakeholders for a participatory management of hydrographic basins!
