2. The Power of Capacity Building in Water Resources
The Need for Capacity Building
Many national and local institutions, responsible for water management
and water delivery do not work efficiently or effectively. Contributing factors include:
Inappropriate policies for water management and unclear definition of institutional mandates
Lack of resources (inadequate funding and human resources)
Working in an environment that inhibits job satisfaction
Inadequate education and training facilities
Lack of participation and commitment from communities and customers
Need to adapt policies to new circumstances and challenges.
Need to build capacity in the water sector.
