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.
With the assistance of development partners, the purpose of this action is to develop the capacity building of water professionals in organizational containers at all three levels of government. It aims to achieve this goal by increasing the support of academic institutions and by investing more in research-knowledge-education-policy-practices. This action needs to be started immediately after the organizational container/s is/are assigned (Action 5).
