What is your water governance story ?
This call seeks to support the implementation of the OECD Principles on Water Governance through the identification of evolving practices at local, basin, national and international levels which can inspire governments and stakeholders move from vision to action.
The objective is to gather/compile evidence and concrete examples of how a given city, region, country, basin organisation or other stakeholder has addressed governance gaps in water-related policy design and implementation, whether they relate to success stories or, conversely, to failed attempts from which helpful lessons can be learned for the future.

Endorse the OECD Principles on Water Governance ! - ALL INFORMATION
Ministers back OECD Principles on Water Governance
4/06/2015 - Ministers from OECD's 34 member countries today welcomed the newOECD Principles on Water Governance, which set standards for more effective, efficient and inclusive design and implementation of water policies, and encouraged governments to put them into action.
The 12 Water Governance Principles provide a framework for governments to put in place better water policies and they will be used to develop a broader OECD perspective on water management over the coming years.
The Principles were developed using a multi-stakeholder approach and were endorsed by a large number of public, private and non-profit organisations at the 7th World Water Forum in April in Korea through the Daegu Declaration. Next steps will include identifying and scaling up best practices to support the implementation of the Principles.
