ICWC 2021-2026 strategy provides basis for cooperation on shared waters

The International Centre for Water Cooperation (ICWC) launches its new strategy 2021-2026, aiming to “contribute to sustainable governance and management of shared water resources by improving cooperation on such resources,” based on science for mitigation, adaptation and resilience.

At the centre of the strategy is the “Theory of Change”

The theory posits that through science, it will create knowledge on sustainable management of shared resources. This is turn could support relevant actors to make “informed decisions, and increased willingness and ability to cooperate on shared waters for the benefit of socio-economic development.”

Its anticipated outcome is “improved water cooperation, with positive effects at national and regional levels, which should ultimately lead to less tension and conflict”.
