Action 14 - Strengthen the shared responsibility model for investment in IWRM implementation

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 enhance the collective responsibility framework for IWRM implementation investment. It aims to achieve this goal by implementing the National Water Fund (FONAGUA), by building partnerships with the private sector and by establish a support mechanism for municipalities to create a bilateral and multilateral fund management portfolio. In addition, it aims to identify an expenditure classifier in the national budget to visualize the funding allocated to IWRM action implementation.
