Evaluating 10 years of IWRM in Southeast Asia

GWP Southeast Asia recently organized country workshops to conduct a ten year (2000-2010) evaluation of IWRM implementation in Myanmar, Cambodia, Indonesia and Vietnam. The evaluations have provided platforms for Southeast Asian countries and stakeholders to exchange knowledge and experiences of the IWRM process and to promote international cooperation for better water resources management. A report with all the Southeast Asian countries will be available shortly at www.gwpsea.org.

Myanmar

Myanmar has high potential for social and economic development owing to its abundant water resources, which at present is not fully utilized. Myanmar can be identified as a low stress country with regard to water use. Provision of agricultural water use is the first priority in water resources management for the country at present and will be the main priority in the future as well, even though the government economic policy may divert to the industrial sector.

On July, 29, 2011, the Irrigation Department (ID), Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation and GWP Myanmar, with support from GWP Southeast Asia, organized a workshop on the Evaluation of IWRM Implementation in Myanmar. A presentation was made on the Evaluation of IWRM Implementation in Myanmar, available at www.slideshare.net/gwpsea

Vietnam

A workshop on assessment of 10 years of IWRM implementation in Vietnam was organised by GWP Vietnam in cooperation with the Water Resources Association of Vietnam and Vietnam Irrigation and Drainage with participants from government, civil society, private sector and media.
