WHAT OTHER PARTIES DO ? Funding agencies have been flowing much greater amount of their budget to implement programs, directly to governments. Collaboration with a number of regional and international organizations operating in the region still needs to be explored, found and developed while at the same time it is also necessary to avoid duplication of activities.

Funding agencies have been flowing much greater amount of their budget to implement programs, directly to governments.

Collaboration with a number of regional and international organizations operating in the region still needs to be explored, found and developed while at the same time it is also necessary to avoid duplication of activities.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO Since parties are always expecting mutual benefits from collaboration GWP-SEA needs to strategically position itself in relation to these regional initiatives and to clearly demonstrate the value that they can add to the regional initiatives without duplicating the same activities themselves.

Since parties are always expecting mutual benefits from collaboration

GWP-SEA needs to strategically position itself in relation to these regional initiatives and to clearly demonstrate the value that they can add to the regional initiatives

without duplicating the same activities themselves.

HOW TO DO IT? This requires that GWP SEA clearly define its role in the region, in relation to other regional players. Specially GWP SEA needs to establish strategic linkages with ASEAN, APWF, etc and to strengthen its relationship with NARBO regionally and at the national level. Even then we cant guarantee that this will produce required results

WHAT DOES IT MEAN ? We think that perhaps t his means that GWP SEA needs to define what resources, apart from its small core budget it will offer to countries to gain a significant role in the regional IWRM; to regional and international organizations to gain alliance and cooperation with them, to financial institutions to gain direct financial support to implement activities.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS We received these questions from other organizations who have been supporting countries directly to governments with much more resources What you can do that governments can not do with us? Why we shall work with you on small activities with small inputs when we can do it on much larger scale with governments?
