by Dann Sklarew, GEF IW:LEARN
Asia Regional Workshop on Stakeholder Engagement
in International Waters Management
Hanoi, Vietnam, 2-4 April 2008

Objectives of Presentation
Determine how to integrate GEF and others’ expectations for public involvement into multi-country IWRM.
Identify which public involvement tools/techniques might be appropriate or effective (for certain purposes) at each phase of GEF IW project cycle.
Select 1 or more involvement actions which could be adapted to one’s own project at a certain project phase.
Identify another participant here who could provide peer assistance to you in implementing such action(s).

Principles of IWRMI. Water source and catchment conservation and protection are essential
II. Water allocation should be agreed between stakeholders within a national framework
III.Management needs to be taken care of at the lowest appropriate level
IV.Capacity building is the key to sustainability
V. Involvement of all stakeholders is required
VI. Efficient water use is essential and often an important “source” in itself
VII. Water should be treated as having an economic and social value
VIII. Striking a gender balance is essential
Adaptive IWRM

Participation Critical to Adaptive IWRM
Stakeholder involvement:
can bring additional information and perspectives to bear,
vet proposed decisions and the information upon which they are based
build support for the outcome which can help in implementation
builds trust among various interests
alleviate concerns that adaptive management can provide a loophole for individuals or organizations seeking to avoid taking action
How GEF IW Catalyzes Adaptive IWRM?
Nations’ adaptive IWRM to balance uses via cycle of –
Basin-wide Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA): What are key usage & sustainability issues?
Basin-wide Strategic Action Programme (SAP): What are priority joint actions needed? Plans?
National Implementation, with policy, legal and institutional reforms, investments & demonstrations

GEF Principles for Involvement
Enhance projects’ social, environmental, financial sustainability.
Responsibility of country governments & project executing agencies.
Activities designed and implemented for flexibility, adapting and responding to national and local conditions and to project requirements
Transparency and openness in deliberation and implementation
Documentation of public involvement activities…

GEF Policy on Public Involvement
All GEF-financed projects will provide for:
[1] full disclosure and dissemination of non-confidential information, and
[2] consultation with, and [3] participation (as appropriate) of, major groups and local communities throughout the project cycle.
BUT little GEF guidance on how to do so…
