the annual water saving in the six host communities reached almost 335,000 m3 which is enough to secure<br />

the daily water needs for additional 9,500 persons.<br />

Conclusions and recommendation<br />

The project fosters a constructive dialogue on sustainable water management, thereby improving the<br />

exchange between water providers and water users, alleviating water-related conflicts and contributing to<br />

an increased water security in the long run. However, there are obstacles regarding the sustainability of the<br />

multi-stakeholder platforms after the project period. Thus, (non-monetary) incentives (e.g. collaboration<br />

with water projects, e-participation etc.) might help to overcome the challenges. Based on the project’s<br />

success, it is recommendable to discuss and promote participatory formats and approaches in development<br />

cooperation projects in the water sector.<br />
