Nicaragua - Enabling Environment

Action 2 – Establish IWRM transboundary agreements

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 enact transboundary agreements for IWRM involving Nicaragua in bilateral cooperation initiatives for the integrated management of shared water basins. In particular, a mapping of the actors in the Negro River is foreseen, taking into account native and Afro-descendant populations in policy development.
