d. Innovative and creative financing techniques
e. Consensus building including a dialogue process
f. Integrated water resources management
g. Institutions and adaptive capacity
h. Community participation
From the foregone, we demand time-bound actions to acknowledge the reality that government and NGOs are donor dependent to varying degrees and therefore call for the promotion of dialogues amongst stakeholders to incorporate the implementation of the recommended elements and tools towards securing a balance among competing water users.
We also emphasize the need for political will in order to ensure innovative, technical, economic and social solutions that will provide a balance between water use and sustainable development.
We call for strategies for finding a balance in policies between the developed and developing countries since instruments that are applicable in the North may not be appropriate in the South due to social, political, economic, cultural and environmental differences given that a country’s development objectives will influence their definition of sustainability and the path they advance to attain these objectives.
Finally, we recognize that poverty alleviation and livelihood security are necessary prerequisites to develop adaptive capacities that will assist sustainable development in the future and demand such policies and strategies that will not jeopardize environmental sustainability but rather be implemented in conjunction with development activities.
Thank you.
