Integrated flood management dialogues underway in Malaysia

In 2010 GWP Malaysia organised the second pilot national workshop on integrated flood management. This brought together staff from the Department of Irrigation and Drainage, the National Safety Council, Town and Country Planning Department, the Malaysian Remote Sensing Agency and town councils.

This broad participation across agencies illustrates the government's appreciation of the capacity building value of the workshops. Malaysia CWP will follow up on the pilot national workshops with a state dialogue in 2011.
