Democratizing Water Governance

The democratization of water governance is a key overall objective of the M-POWER network. In doing so, we are working closely with Phase 2 of the Challenge Program on Water and Food, which aims to ‘increase the benefits derived from hydropower, and to contribute towards minimising negative impacts’.

M-POWER has responsibility for a project focusing on ways in which benefits from dams can be improved across the Mekong Basin by concentrating on how dams are managed and operated at a basin-wide scale. Its emphasis therefore is about institutional and managerial innovation in this sector. This ‘Water Governance’ project is one of six integrated projects for the Mekong.

Watch for reports arising from this work at Hot Off the Press (on our Homepage) and Key Reports.
