Overall, long-term objectives
– Promote sustainable use of natural resources (esp. water) considered in an integrated perspective at river basin scale.
– Promote participatory and collaborative land/water management based on common spatial visions.
– View protected areas as an opportunity to achieve sustainable development for neighbouring communities.
Concrete results
- Produce a prototype participatory process for river basin planning available for river basin authorities throughout the EU (Methodological Procedures).
- Provide decision-makers and stakeholders with efficient and shared river basin management schemes (Action Plans).
- Develop specific and integrated tools for land/water management in protected areas (Spatial Planning Concepts).
- Increase stakeholders’ knowledge and capacity building at both national (no. 20-30 participants per workshop) and transnational (transnational water network linking the established partnerships) levels.
- Gain a common vision among all relevant authorities, water users and territorial actors participating in the river basin partnerships (partnerships).
