| Summary: | This Completion Report summarizes
cumulative results and outcomes for the South Asia Water
Initiative (SAWI) Phase 2 (from 2013-2021). SAWI’s
objective was to increase regional cooperation in the
management of the major Himalayan river systems in South
Asia to deliver sustainable, fair, and inclusive development
and climate resilience. Four interlinked pathways supported
the outcomes: (i) building confidence and trust among the
countries – mainly by convening regional technical dialogues;
(ii) generating new technical knowledge, including in
partnership with others, for national programs to use and to
help shift stakeholder perceptions; (iii) building capacity
of key institutions and stakeholders by exposing them to
regional collaboration efforts elsewhere and training them
in the use of new tools and technologies to strengthen water
resource management; and (iv) scoping and leveraging
investments, most notably World Bank investments so that
these new approaches could be embedded and taken to scale. |
