Participatory integrated water resources management (IWRM) planning: lessons from Berki catchment, Ethiopia
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by Kidanemaraim JembereImplementing IWRM can often seem overwhelming given the scale and complexity of the changes needed.
This article describes how IWRM is a long and participatory process based on an ongoing
learning
process in Ethiopia. The IWRM pilot project in the“Berki” watershed (Ethiopia) has shown that IWRM
involves many changes to the existing system through a step by
step approach
that creates a sense of
ownership amongst all stakeholders. The case/project has demonstrated that gaining political support at
various levels, and multistakeholder
platforms are crucial for the success of the IWRM process. Building
stakeholders’ capacities has also played significant role in facilitating the process.
