Description

Cap-Net is an international network for capacity building in IWRM. It is made up of a partnership of autonomous international, regional and national institutions and networks committed to capacity building in the water sector. Cap-Net helps countries to build the human and institutional capacity in water management to reach the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs). Networks have proven to be effective at promoting the understanding of integrated water resources management and play a key role in supporting the development of IWRM and the achievement of the MDG's. The main goal was to support riparian countries in nationally owned efforts to improve their dialogues on shared rivers and build intra-riparian trust. In addition, the project aimed to facilitate an exchange of experiences and lessons learned, build internal capacity within riparian countries, leverage additional funds, and link political processes with the development and management of shared waters.
