Green Cross International / PC—>CP case study<br />
Outcome of this project was a report: The Case of the Trif<strong>in</strong>io Plan <strong>in</strong> the Upper Lempa: Opportunities and<br />
Challenges for the Shared Management of Central <strong>America</strong>n Transnational Bas<strong>in</strong>s. This case reflects the<br />
importance of political will for advanc<strong>in</strong>g the build<strong>in</strong>g of frameworks for <strong>in</strong>stitutional trans-national watersheds.<br />
At the same time, it also reveals the obstacles <strong>in</strong> the transition from those processes that are stimulated<br />
by a top-down approach towards a process <strong>in</strong>volv<strong>in</strong>g strategies aris<strong>in</strong>g from the local actors. Strategies<br />
by local actors <strong>in</strong>herently lend the necessary support to the function<strong>in</strong>g and susta<strong>in</strong>ability of actions, and <strong>in</strong><br />
the long run tend towards the <strong>in</strong>tegrated management of trans-national watershed hydrological resources.<br />
