Nicaragua - Enabling Environment

Action 1 – Develop public policy management instruments

In 2021, with the lead of the Government of Reconciliation and National Unity (GRUN) and with the technical support of GWP Central America through the SDG 6 IWRM Support Programme, a wide number of public-private actors in the water sector worked together to define appropriate and strategic responses for advancing in IWRM. The following action was defined as part of that process and identified as a priority action included in the action plan.

The purpose of this action is to develop public policy management instruments in order to carry out IWRM objectives. It aims to achieve this goal by publishing and implementing the National Water Resources Plan (PNRH), updating the National Water Resources Policy and integrating these two instruments in the National Poverty Reduction Plan at municipal and regional levels.
