This document discusses participatory planning and decision making for water and sanitation projects. It outlines a 5 step process: 1) Exploring to collect background information and establish community involvement. 2) Demand creation through awareness raising to ensure solutions meet community needs. 3) Participatory decision making where stakeholders collectively understand issues, decide on solutions, and plan projects. 4) Implementation by translating plans into measurable projects with timelines. 5) Ensuring sustainability through participatory monitoring, operation and maintenance to avoid project failures. The process aims to increase community ownership and demand-driven solutions through involvement at all stages.

Third IDMP CEE workshop: Assessment of drought impact on forest ecosystems by...

Global Water Partnership Central and Eastern Europe

This document summarizes work done as part of a project assessing drought impact on forest ecosystems in Bulgaria, Lithuania, Slovenia, and Ukraine. Experts from each country created over 100 climate maps for current and future periods (2050, 2070) under different emissions scenarios. Vulnerability zones were determined for forests based on a drought index. Analysis found forests will face increased aridity over time, reducing suitable habitat for some tree species. Recommendations will be developed for forest adaptation and mitigation measures.
