GOVERNAGUA: “TRANSFORMING WATER GOVERNANCE IN SOUTH AMERICA: FROM REACTION TO ADAPTATION AND ANTICIPATION”.

AIM

The aim of this project is to contribute to the provision of ecosystem services and human well-being associated with water, through an improvement in anticipatory water governance in South America. This will be accomplished by strengthening the adaptation, anticipation and knowledge co-creation capacities.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
  • Systematize learning through a comparative analysis of water governance in six basins located in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay (two from each country), with emphasis on the relation to the water provision and water scarcity crisis.
  • Strengthen people’s and institutions’ ability to anticipate changes in the system and the consequences of the decisions they make, for an adaptive and anticipatory water governance.
  • Lay the foundation for a system of experimental anticipatory governance with the participation of the various actors operating as a collective intelligence system that reports local, national and regional policies, who have the ability to anticipate and transform the problems of the basins.
