8 Dimensions of Mekong water planning Complex, diverse, interconnected system need to influence all decision makers and investors joint approach is essential, but single master plan is not feasible Common ground dependence on the river change information 8
9 Integrated Water Resource Management Efficiency in water resource development and use Equity in water resource allocation Environmental protection Integration and coordination across sectors, regions, stakeholder interests Knowledge-driven planning and management Community and stakeholder participation Good governance 9
10 BDP Paper: Strategic Directions for IWRM in the LMB Joint statement from MRC countries sets out principles and values shared by LMB countries regarding water resources development identifies agreed regional strategic directions to encourage cooperation and investment Integrates national strategies and plans, adds regional perspective promotes integrated water resource management in LMB Consultation and negotiation over 3 years under BDP Broad stakeholder involvement coordinated through NMCs Consultation with regional programs, donors MRC programs, sector reviews 10
11 Key result areas Economic development and poverty alleviation Environment protection Social development and equity Dealing with climate variability Integration through basin planning Information-based management Regional cooperation Governance 11
12 Priority areas for action Priority areas within each key result area Priority areas for within each sector Common themes from all sectors Develop consistent regional strategies for key sectors Improve cross-sectoral planning through coordinated land use planning (community participation) Value-adding through processing, market development and improved access to markets Agreed set of indicators to assess trade-offs between sectors and stakeholders 12
