| Summary: | The CPWF Project PN50 “Enhancing multi-scale water governance” was a flagship activity
of the Mekong Program on Water, Environment Resilience (M-POWER). The goal of
helping improve livelihood security, human and ecosystem health in the Mekong Region
through democratizing water governance was pursued through critical research and
direct engagement with stakeholders involved in managing floods, irrigation,
hydropower, watersheds, fisheries and urban water works at various scales. We
identified commons governance problems and suggested ways that some can be
addressed. Often, for example, there are needs to: strengthen local representation,
improve the quality of deliberative processes, enhance the interplay between institutions
at different levels, and build capacities to handle uncertainties and adapt to changes in
flow regimes.
