Nicaragua - Institutions and Participation

Action 5 - Strengthen permanent spaces for coordination and cooperation between municipalities that share basins

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 increase the number of permanent spaces for coordination and cooperation among municipalities that share basins. In particular, the participation of all actors involved in IWRM is supported through a consultation and participation mechanism, both in-person and virtual.
