Water governance structures (e.g. policy and institutions), processes, and outcomes are (re)shaped by power struggles and power relations. Understanding drivers and processes of systemic transformation in water governance across scales is crucial to unpack processes of institutional emergence and the (re)shaping of political spaces and engagement towards resilient, just and fair societies.
This session will introduce both the conceptualization and application of transformative water governance principles and building blocks, while deriving on ongoing water governance research across scales (transboundary to local) in Asia and Africa. It looks at drivers and processes of systemic transformation in water governance and how unpacking such transformation is crucial to better understand processes of institutional emergence and the shaping of political spaces and engagement towards resilient, just and inclusive development. It illustrates how water governance structures (e.g. policy and institutions), processes (e.g. consultation processes, decision-making processes), and outcomes are (re)shaped by power struggles and power relations.
The session will start with a brief introduction followed by:
A keynote on transformative water governance
Three presentations on
Discussions on ways forward through brief introduction to Rulal: Wetlands boardgame as a tool to facilitate collective action and conflict resolution.
