Action 4 – Establish an inter-institutional coordination mechanism to strengthen water governance

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 reinforce water governance by developing an inter-institutional coordination mechanism. It aims to achieve this goal by concluding the process of arranging the Commission for Sustainable Water Resources Management and of constituting the National Water Resources Development Council.
