Strengthening CSO engagement in water governance: Government strategies and perception of CSOs in the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna Basin
The report provides a summary of priority areas and strategies for strengthening CSO engagement in water governance in the GBM region, captured through a survey of government representatives in Bangladesh, China, India and Nepal undertaken between 21 July 2018 and 29 August 2018. In each country, government ministries and agencies responsible for providing policy directives on water resources or having influence on the development and management of river basins were mapped. A common questionnaire was developed (Annex 1) and face-to-face interviews were conducted with more than 80 participants from 57 different government agencies (Annex 2: List of organisations surveyed) in the four target countries of the GBM region.
