Prioritizing Adaptation Actions in Ghana using the Akuapim Approach
Experts developed sector-specific climate change adaptation plans for fisheries, land, root crops, cocoa, health and gender. However, combining the individual sector plans into a coherent integrated national plan posed challenges due to the large number of proposed activities and potential conflicts. The Akuapim Approach was developed to simplify this task. It utilized logical framework analysis for each sector, cross-impact analysis between sectors, and multi-criteria analysis to identify complementarities and rank activities. This process resulted in a prioritized list of 10 adaptation actions that were included in Ghana's national climate change adaptation strategy.
DAFNE Project
The DAFNE project aims to establish a decision-analytic framework for integrated planning of water, energy, and food resources in transboundary contexts in fast-growing countries. The framework will develop understanding of the water-energy-food nexus, generate alternative management solutions, and foster equitable resource use without environmental harm. Case studies include the Zambezi River Basin shared by 8 countries and the transboundary Omo-Turkana basin of Ethiopia and Kenya. The project involves stakeholders and uses modeling and scenarios to assess management alternatives and pathways.
Political Support for Adaptation
This document outlines 10 lessons for building political support for climate change adaptation: 1) Leverage co-benefits like sustainable development, 2) Identify champions to promote adaptation, 3) Incorporate adaptation into long-term policy, 4) Clearly address key questions about adaptation processes, 5) Build momentum from events and disasters, 6) Quantify the impacts and costs of adaptation, 7) Secure dedicated financial resources, 8) Partner with media and social movements, 9) Promote south-south cooperation, and 10) Link political support to strong technical understanding of adaptation issues.

World Water Week 2015 Overarching conclusions
The document summarizes the key conclusions from the 2015 World Water Week conference. Some of the overarching conclusions included:
1) Increasing water demand will fundamentally change how societies develop and function, requiring new ways of thinking about water scarcity.
2) Sharing water resources between countries under increasing demand will continue to influence international relations.
3) Climate change is manifested through water and poses risks to economic activity, requiring investment in water resilience.
Susana Neto (University of Lisbon)
The document discusses how transparency, regional diversity, and capacity building can build trust and engagement in water governance. It analyzes frameworks from Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa, and South America and found that policy coherence and transparency were key areas for improvement. Success requires optimal timing that aligns with social and political expectations, community learning and involvement in co-designing solutions, and transparent information systems. The authors highlight that collaborative planning and stakeholder involvement in developing indicators is critical for sustainable water governance.
The global distribution of mountain adaptation projects by Simon Allen
The document discusses the global distribution of mountain adaptation projects. It analyzes data on over 400 mountain adaptation projects funded between 2010-2019. The analysis finds that adaptation funding for mountain regions tends to flow towards the most vulnerable countries and countries with higher levels of readiness. However, donors' self-interests also influence where and how much funding is allocated. Key messages are that Switzerland is a major bilateral funder focused on the Andes and Himalayas, funding allocation balances vulnerability with recipient country capacity, and better indicators and information sharing platforms are needed to support mountain communities and solutions.
Evaluating and managing for results - Experiences from Norway
Evaluating and managing for results - Experiences from NorwayDevelopment Co-operation Directorate (DCD-DAC)
The evaluations commissioned in 2011 could not sufficiently report on outcomes or impact levels. A study was conducted to identify problems, bottlenecks, and improvements to demonstrate the difference of Norwegian aid. Key findings showed handbooks and regulations were generally of good quality but grants lacked results frameworks. Weak reporting on results was also an issue. Reasons for these issues included a lack of prioritization and incentives from leaders as well as competing priorities and pressure to spend funds quickly. Real-time evaluations of REDD+ initiatives aim to provide a platform for learning and discussion while programs are ongoing but struggle with information access given dynamic, political contexts. Improving results management requires prioritization from leaders, proper incentives and resources, realistic goals and indicators set at theWorld Water Day 2014 by Zafar Adeel, UNU, and Christian Susan, UNIDO.

This document discusses Vietnam's climate change policy and adaptation efforts. It provides an overview of Vietnam's climate change policies, noting strengths like an extensive policy landscape but also challenges like a lack of policy coordination and implementation gaps. It examines Vietnam's adaptation goals in its INDC and funding sources. Most climate spending is for infrastructure and comes from the Ministry of Agriculture, though many projects have low climate relevance. The document proposes several theses on improving adaptation effectiveness and reporting, such as taking a needs-based approach and improving stakeholder involvement and information flows. It concludes by asking how global processes can better support national and local adaptation priorities and capacity.

This document discusses the need for case studies to illustrate the application of tools shown in the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) ToolBox. It provides information on the number and types of case studies currently available, and the typical format and criteria for new case studies. Examples are given of how IWRM tools have been applied in water supply and sanitation projects, including tools related to governance/institutions, economic assessment, environmental impact assessment, economic instruments, water pricing, demand and supply management, and financing options. The document encourages contributions of new case studies that reflect both successes and challenges in implementing more sustainable water strategies.Open educational practice dimensions
The document discusses dimensions of open educational practices (OEP) that were identified through an analysis of 34 case studies. It outlines eight key dimensions: strategies and policies, quality assurance models, partnership models, tools and practices, innovations, skills development and support, business models/sustainability strategies, and barriers and success factors. These dimensions influence the actions of different stakeholders, including policymakers, administrators, educational professionals, and learners. The document then provides examples and evidence from the case studies for each of the eight dimensions.

Measuring Progress | Charles Thrift
This document discusses developing indicators to measure progress on adaptation. It provides an overview of key concepts including what indicators are, frameworks for developing them, and the selection process. The selection process involves developing criteria, identifying key issues, building a conceptual framework, drafting indicators, and reviewing them. An example from Canada outlines identifying adaptation needs, stakeholders, themes to describe the agricultural system, and developing a shortlist of 25 indicators. The document stresses that developing indicators is iterative and collaborative, and that the process is as important as the final product.
Can systematic reviews help identify what works and why?
This document discusses systematic reviews (SRs) as a tool to evaluate the impact of development interventions. It notes calls from funders to demonstrate what works using evidence-based approaches. While randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are often advocated, SRs are presented as a way to overcome some of RCTs' limitations. The document summarizes a SR conducted by the authors on the impact of microfinance in sub-Saharan Africa. It took a pragmatic approach, including a variety of study designs and developing a causal pathway to understand impact. The SR found microfinance has the potential to benefit the poor but also identified challenges, calling for more and better evaluations.

Part 1 Water safety plans explained: What they are and how you can get involvedInternational WaterCentre
Water Safety Plans (WSPs) are risk management processes for drinking water suppliers to ensure safe water quality. WSPs involve assembling a team to develop the plan, assessing the water supply system to identify hazards, determining control measures to mitigate risks, and creating an improvement plan. They can be applied to various water supply systems, including major city water as well as rural and community-managed systems. Different organizations, such as governments, donors, NGOs and academia can support WSPs.Hashemi - science and policy interface
This document discusses the need for an integrated science-policy interface framework to address water scarcity in the Western Asia-Northern Africa (WANA) region. It defines key terms like framework, theory, model, and interface. It also describes the multi-dimensional nature of water scarcity in WANA, which exists at the governance, organizational, and physical resource levels. The document then outlines the policymaking process and some potential pitfalls. It argues that finding an effective science-policy interface is vital for improving policy decisions given the complex challenges around water management in WANA.
Hashemi - Science and Policy Interface
This document proposes an integrated socio-technical and institutional framework to address water scarcity in the Western Asia-North Africa region. It discusses the need for a science-policy interface to inform policy decisions with empirical evidence while addressing uncertainties. The framework includes conceptual frameworks dealing with decision-making perspectives and integrated resource management. It also includes analytical frameworks like the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response model and institutional analysis to link socio-technical and policy assessments. The framework is intended to provide an interface between science and policy to support more evidence-based and sustainable decisions regarding water scarcity challenges in the region.
LWEC presentation on the Ecosystem Approach and the National Ecosystem Assess...
This document proposes a framework for improving policy and decision-making through the use of tools that consider ecosystem services and natural capital. It acknowledges uncertainties in policy-making and limitations of current tools. The conceptual framework presents an "EATME tree" that guides the policy cycle with principles for an ecosystem approach. It maps examples of ecosystem services tools and groups them by type. The goal is to help practitioners select the right tools for a given stage and context through a "toolkit within a typology".
Manfred Matz (GIZ Tunisia)
The document proposes a framework for linking the OECD Principles on Water Governance to impacts and outcomes. It relates the Principles, indicators of existence and a principles' quality, range, and sustainability to outcomes and the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 6 indicators. As an example, it assesses principle 5 on data and information in Tunisia. It finds the existence of water information systems but delays in groundwater data availability. It also finds data not easily understandable for non-specialists and institutions lacking strong mandates to sustainably fulfill tasks. The document argues this framework can help evaluate governance and identify measures to improve water governance and outcomes.
Case studies
It gives a brief idea of what case study is about, its process to follow, instruments and other elements that surely will help the reader get a better idea of what this type of approach is.

1) The organization Swadhina worked to empower women in Jharkhand, India through increased access to land and water resources. They formed women's committees to oversee activities and identify key issues of water, land rights, and women's positions.
2) To address water challenges, they constructed irrigation boxes and desilted tanks to improve water storage. They encouraged sustainable farming practices. For land, they reclaimed unused land and introduced new crop varieties. They gave women possession certificates for resources to establish land rights.
3) These interventions improved food security, economic conditions, and women's leadership roles. Women gained confidence through skills training and decision-making power over resources. Community development minimized migration from the areaTowards voluntary guidelines for GWP
This document discusses the need for coordinated governance of land and water resources that places people at the center. It argues that people have holistic perspectives on natural resources that support their livelihoods. Coordinated governance is needed to address issues like growing competition for water resources and ensuring access for all. Water constituencies can learn from land constituencies' focus on marginalized people, customary rights, and global rights-based dialogue. The document calls for voluntary guidelines that frame land and water tenure through joint people-centered processes respecting customary entitlements and human rights to resources.

The document discusses the links between land use and groundwater, noting that while there is a causal chain from need for resources to land use change to groundwater impacts, these links are not deterministic. It provides examples of how land use planning can address groundwater quality and quantity through techniques like limiting land use in hydrogeologically defined zones. Governance instruments at national, regional, and local levels can help implement these techniques through policies, planning, and regulatory frameworks, though there are also legal, institutional, and economic obstacles.Just in time chances for a holistic approach for land and water governance
1. The document discusses the Cisadane Watershed Multistakeholders Forum in Indonesia and RMI's involvement in promoting a holistic approach to watershed management in the area.
2. It describes RMI's projects on river and biodiversity conservation in the watershed since 2009 and their role in facilitating the watershed forum since 2011.
3. A key benefit of the forum and holistic approach is that it allows different stakeholders to have input, acknowledges their different needs, and leads to more comprehensive management plans that address issues like land rights and education.
Food Security Definition
Food security exists when all people have reliable physical, social, and economic access to sufficient nutritious food to live an active and healthy life. Food security has three key pillars - availability, which examines if coordination of land and water governance improves food availability; access, which looks at if systems and policies enable access to available food; and utilization, which considers if acquired food can be properly used. Any assessment of food security must consider the specific context.

This document summarizes the results of a study on whether current land and water governance systems in sub-Saharan Africa are suitable for promoting sustainable and equitable large-scale agricultural investments. The study analyzed systems in 6 countries and found that in all countries, land and water are governed separately without coordination. Within countries, multiple inconsistent property rights regimes exist. The study also found a lack of clarity and enforcement of water access and use rights for investments. It concludes that coordinated land and water governance systems are needed that recognize all rights, have clear planning, pricing, and dispute resolution, and improve legal and institutional reforms and monitoring.Ecosystem services mapping as a framework for integrated natural resource man...

This document discusses integrated natural resource management in South Africa. It notes that while South Africa has comprehensive environmental laws and increasing budgets for management, assessments show many ecosystems are threatened. This is due to a lack of holistic planning, failure to consider resource value, poor coordination, and inadequate local capacity. The document proposes using an ecosystem services approach to integrate natural systems, social needs, and economic factors. It presents a case study applying this framework in UThukela District through tools like social simulation, scenario analysis, and economic incentives to match interventions with drivers of environmental change. Key to success are effective stakeholder consultation, institutional coordination, and an appropriate governance structure.Development of agricultural irrigated lands in burkina faso
The document discusses agricultural irrigation development in Burkina Faso. It notes that Burkina Faso has developed over 42,973 hectares of irrigated land as of 2013, up from 13,043 hectares in 2000. The irrigation techniques discussed include major irrigation schemes near dams covering over 1,000 hectares each, medium schemes from 20-100 hectares, and small-scale irrigation under 100 hectares using various water sources. Crops grown include rice as well as dry season gardening. The development of irrigated agriculture is aimed to increase food production and farmers' incomes in Burkina Faso.
Coordinating land and water governance in the context of food security
This document discusses the need for coordinated governance of land and water resources to address food security challenges. As population and demand for food increases, business as usual approaches to managing land and water separately will lead to crossing planetary boundaries for water use and loss of agricultural land. Coordinated governance considers land and water as an integrated system and establishes interrelations in their management at various scales from local to national to regional levels. This helps overcome barriers like sectors working in isolation, improves resource use efficiency, and leads to more coherent policies that secure access to both land and water for improved food production.
Community/farmers-led land and water governance - An experience from Nepal
This document discusses community-led land and water governance experiences in Nepal. It finds that farmer-managed irrigation systems irrigate 70% of agricultural land and produce 40% of Nepal's food. However, private land ownership and control of irrigation systems by government bureaucracies have negatively impacted small farmers and food security. The experience of CSRC shows that by supporting land rights and establishing people's organizations, farmers in Nepal have successfully developed local frameworks to manage land and water resources, diversified production, and increased yields over 5 times through small-scale, community-led irrigation projects.
