Strengthening managerial capabilities of local water user groups

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities. Agenda 21 recommends strengthening managerial capabilities of all water-user groups, including women, youth, indigenous people and local communities, to improve water-use efficiency at the local level.
