This monograph provides a framework and guidelines for the
assessment of institutional frameworks for integrated water
resources management (IWRM). The framework and guidelines were
developed to enable expert teams of the Inter-American Development
Bank to incorporate capacity-building considerations into
water-related projects. The framework and guidelines were tested in
four countries with different physical, social and economic
environments in Latin America and the Caribbean. Using this
framework, it is possible to identify shortcomings in existing
water management arrangements and to formulate interventions at and
between the constitutional, organizational, and operational levels.
To guide the formulation of interventions, an ideal IWRM situation
is formulated. Due to the temporal and spatial specificity, a
desired IWRM situation is formulated in a process which consists of
ten operational steps. This process is based on an extensive
consultation and participation of all relevant stakeholders. The
fields of interventions concern awareness creation, policy
development, legal and financial arrangements, human resources
development and management information and decision support
systems.
