| Abstract | This report identifies the policy priorities for Netherlands Development Assistance (NEDA) in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). The principles for prioritization are outlined, including: sustainability, efficiency, accountability, conflict mitigation and subsidiarity. This is followed by the identification of policy priorities in two areas: building institutional capacities and support to water uses and functions. Under the second area the policy priorities will emphasize the overall policy context of NEDA and the key issues in IWRM, with poverty alleviation, equity (especially gender equity) and ecosystems maintenance providing criteria for the assessment of individual issues in this broad field. The report ends with a consideration of the issues involved in moving from policy to actions. An overview is provided of the actions needed from different levels (DGIS, Netherlands Embassies, NEDA recipient governments and NGOs and other agencies) to follow through the policy priorities presented in this report. |
