Action 15 – Lobbying and monitoring the investments in the IWRM Action Plan

In 2022, under the Government of Nepal with the support of a team of water experts and a Task Force Team, a number of consultation workshops were organised with the participation of stakeholders from the government, non-government, academia, private sector and multi-lateral development partners. As a result, the Action Plan was developed with the objective to optimise the utilization of its water resources for a socially equitable and inclusive, environmentally secure and economically prosperous Nepal and to implement concrete actions for advancing Integrated Water Resources Management (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 encourage, mobilise, and supervise investments in the IWRM Action Plan, from different sources, different levels of governments, as well as the from the international, multilateral and bilateral funding agencies and development partners.
