Capacity Building
Water resource management requires a
minimal level of capacity at all levels, including that of decentralized local
governments. Functional community-level capacity builds resilience to hazards,
and facilitates the use of knowledge and technologies, innovation, and
education, thereby creating a culture of safety and resilience at all levels.
Local capacity development and training priorities should be expressed as a
regional agenda, to enable many partners along the research-to-development continuum,
and to form collaborations where consortia, alliances, networks, and individual
organizations may all find their place to funds and benefit from it.
