This project aims to understand water governance processes in the Volta Basin of Ghana and Burkina Faso. It will identify opportunities for managing rainwater and small reservoirs at the watershed level. The project will develop a participatory modeling framework integrating biophysical modeling with local socio-environmental understanding, to guide integrated water resource management in two pilot watersheds. It involves stakeholder engagement and assessing governance options to fine-tune policies to local needs. The project is conducting institutional analyses, watershed modeling, and multi-stakeholder platform activities in both countries to understand governance processes and support water management initiatives in the Volta Basin.
Influencing forest policy process (naya and hemant)nitifoundation
This document discusses combining research and activism to influence forest policy processes in Nepal. It outlines approaches like strategic analysis, supporting citizen networks, and engaging with various policy actors. The key challenges are political maneuvering, interest-based negotiations, and donor influence that require new approaches from researcher-activists. Case studies show how research informing policy roundtables, discussion papers, and protests helped challenge amendments to forest laws to ensure more community rights and inclusion. Continued engagement across many levels while balancing research, advocacy, and accountability remains an ongoing challenge.

The Surfrider Foundation's programs are focused on protecting coastal environments and surfing culture through several key initiatives. The World Surfing Reserves program aims to dedicate protected coastal areas to preserve surf breaks and their surrounding communities. The Endangered Waves program works to prevent threats to iconic surf spots. Surfonomics conducts economic valuation studies to demonstrate the monetary value of surfing areas. Overall, the programs have seen successes but also face challenges in areas like funding, capacity, and ensuring long-term impacts and community engagement. The discussion focused on strategies to address these challenges over the next year, including improving selection criteria, increasing dedicated resources, and expanding partnerships.
4.2 Partnering with Landlords
Speaker: Ryan Macy-Hurley
One of the key strategies in rapidly re-housing families is creating and maintaining strong relationships with a variety of private and public landlords. This workshop will cover how to develop strong partnerships with landlords and how to use those relationships to quickly acquire housing. Strategies such as finding housing units, landlord mediation, and conflict resolution will be discussed.
This article discusses the divide that exists between planning for the built and natural environments in public policy and planning. It provides three key points:
1) Planning for the built and natural environments has been artificially separated since the 1947 Town and Country Planning Act, which established separate systems for urban development control and rural land management. This has led to "disintegrated planning" with different agencies, tools, and approaches for each.
2) Bridging this divide is important for effective long-term environmental management but it is hindered by institutional silos and a lack of coordination between policy domains like housing, transportation, and conservation. The article provides examples from the West Midlands to illustrate the divide.

Bunaken Island | Nov-15 | Improving the water supply, sanitation and hygiene ...Smart Villages
By Lyn Capistrano, Apolonio Jimenez
Off-grid electrification for development of small islands represents a number of unique challenges under the broad category of rural electrification. Small, off-grid island communities are particularly vulnerable to diesel price fluctuations and natural disasters, and thus, enhancing resilience through more sustainable and cheaper energy technologies should be a key priority. Financing the transition to these technologies – usually photovoltaic, micro-hydro or sometimes wind – is an essential hurdle to overcome. Once electricity systems are in place it is equally important that they are sustained in the longer term with effective arrangements for operation and maintenance, cost recovery etc. Related to this, is the productive use of the energy provided to increase islander incomes.
The workshop on Bunaken Island, Sulawesi, Indonesia from 3 to 5 November 2015, organised by the Smart Villages Initiative in collaboration with Kopernik, will explore these issues and develop recommendations for policy makers, development agencies and other stakeholders in energy provision to island communities.

Integrated Water Resources Management in MalaysiaIwl Pcu
Presentation by Datuk Ir. Keizrul bin Abdullah, Chair GWP South East Asia Steering Committee, 7 December 2004 at International Conference on IWRM in Tokyo.
This project aims to understand water governance processes in the Volta Basin across Ghana and Burkina Faso. It will identify opportunities for managing rainwater and small reservoirs at the watershed level through a participatory modeling approach. The project will develop a framework integrating biophysical modeling with local socio-environmental understanding in two pilot watersheds. Preliminary results include biophysical modeling, tools developed for multi-stakeholder platforms, and analysis of actors and their roles in watershed governance in Burkina Faso and Ghana. The project seeks to provide input to water policies and practices through a participatory, adaptive approach.
The document summarizes the experiences and lessons learned from two GEF projects: IWCAM and CReW.
IWCAM (2006-2011) strengthened capacity for integrated watershed and coastal area management in 13 Caribbean countries. Key achievements included establishing an IWCAM approach, replicating best practices, and contributing to policy reforms. Critical success factors included partnerships, communications strategies, stakeholder involvement, and capacity building.
CReW (2011-2015) aims to provide sustainable wastewater financing, support reforms, and foster regional knowledge exchange in the Caribbean. Communications strategies for both projects emphasized changing attitudes, public awareness, and documenting lessons learned. Both projects highlighted the importance of early stakeholder involvement, adaptive management

This document discusses knowledge management strategies for cooperation on transboundary river, groundwater, and lake basin management. It provides examples of how organizations like The Nature Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund, and IUCN leverage knowledge between river basins through partnerships, training, and networking. Effective knowledge management involves identifying, sharing, and adopting insights through strategies tailored for stakeholders.
This document summarizes the objectives, processes, and results of a study on sub-basin management and governance of rainwater and small reservoirs in Ghana. The study used companion modeling to facilitate dialogue between stakeholders. Over three workshops, stakeholders at community, district, and regional levels mapped natural resources, issues, potential interventions, and institutional arrangements. They identified erosion, flooding, and farming practices' environmental impacts as key issues. The next step is for participants from all levels to discuss their results and proposed interventions for integrated water resources management.

It outlines that basin leaders should provide leadership, coordination, and integration of projects; facilitate communication networks and information sharing; and work to maximize the impact of projects. Specifically, their roles include overseeing projects, ensuring synergies between initiatives, engaging stakeholders, communicating results, and evaluating processes of change.
Community Based Adaptation as a Pillar of National Adaptation Efforts NAP Events
Presented by: Atiq Rahman
SESSION VI: PLENARY –PILLARS FOR NATIONAL ADAPTATION PLANS
The session will examine a few case studies of how a particular issue of prime importance for a country can be the main entry point or pillar of the adaptation work, after which all other issues would then be considered. Three examples will be covered. Madagascar is a well-known centre of biological biodiversity. Addressing climate change through adaptation must consider the dynamics of this biodiversity including closely related stress factors such as poverty, pressure on land due to deforestation, shifting viability of the main cash crops when climatic conditions change, etc. Two other examples are on taking a regional approach to the assessment and development of adaptation responses in the context of hydro-energy. In other cases, a focus on community-based adaptation has been very successful, as is the case for Bangladesh.

V4: Sub‐basin management and governance of rainwater and small reservoirs
1. V4: Sub‐basin management and governance
of rainwater and small reservoirs
AN OVERVIEW
CPWF Volta Science Week
Ouagadougou
3‐5 July 2012
Jean‐Philippe Venot, IWMI

2. Project V4: Re‐setting the scene
• Project Lead: IWMI Expertise in
• Social sciences (sociology/geography)
• Modeling
• Project partners: • Policy making
– SP/PAGIRE (MAH, BF);
– Water Resources Commission (WRC);
– CIRAD UPR Green;
– Water Resources Institute (CSIR);
– University of Development Studies‐ FIDS
• Duration: Oct 2010‐Dec 2013
• Budget: $875,000
4. Project V4: What we signed up for
This project aims at understanding the processes that govern IWRM policy‐making,
practices and research in the Volta Basin (Ghana and Burkina Faso) […] This will be done to
identify demand‐driven opportunities for the management and the governance of
rainwater and small reservoirs at the watershed (sub‐basin) level.

identify demand‐driven opportunities for the management and the governance of
rainwater and small reservoirs at the watershed (sub‐basin) level. [To do so, the project
will] devise, and assess the prospects offered by, a participatory modeling framework to
steer IWRM practices in two pilot watersheds. The participatory modeling framework will
integrate expert biophysical modeling with locally‐defined understanding of the socio‐
environmental system.

integrate expert biophysical modeling with locally‐defined understanding of the socio‐

small reservoirs governance options at the watershed level [and] fine tune IWRM
processes to local needs and demands […] this research project will lead to enhance
impacts of on‐going IWRM policy initiatives in the Volta basin.
To understand impacts,
one needs to understand how they come into being (processes)
Main target groups (OLM/OTIB):
1. IWRM Policy makers at national level
2. Local planners and users
7. Objective and Approach
Understand and support IWRM policy initiatives via a participatory
approach based on a Companion Modeling methodology
• Dialogue for water resources governance
• Scale of study: the watershed (2,000‐3,000 km2)
• Discussing scenarios and impacts to highlight interactions
• High‐level of stakeholder engagement
National decision makers consider

implementation
8. Methods
Answering a question collectively
Conceptual models and role playing game
Collective identification of actors, resources and their Biophysical model
dynamics through multi-level consultation (SWAT et WEAP)
Collective identification of socio-
ecological dynamics
9. Underlying principles
• Participatory Action Research to support natural resources
management and land use planning
• Recognizing the legitimacy and uncertainties of ALL stakeholders’
perceptions and representations
• Clarifying implicit hypothesis (world views)
• Amendments and progressive validation of an hybrid and dynamic
representation (the model) through scenario simulation
• Repetitive back-and-forth between the ‘reality’ and the ‘model’ and
between ‘knowledge generation’ and ‘decision-making’
In short: A practical and research‐oriented example of
ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT
