Based on the interest expressed by the member countries of the International Sava River Basin Commission, the Sava River basin has been selected as one of the transboundary basins where the nexus assessment will be conducted. The assessment exercise is expected to contribute to further integration of water policy with other policies and further dialogue with the key sectoral stakeholders, as specific objectives in river basin management, defined in the Strategy on Implementation of the Framework Agreement on the Sava River Basin.
This workshop was organised as an introduction to the nexus assessment in the Sava River basin. The event was meant to provide inputs to the nexus assessment of the Sava and, at the same time, serve as an opportunity to participate in the development of the approach and scope of the assessment and influence the materials to be used, for example. It was also an occasion to discuss among the sectoral authorities, private sector and the civil society: (a) about needs and policy challenges related to intersectoral coordination and cooperation, as well as (b) how the assessment could meaningfully link to and provide helpful information for decision-making at different levels.
The nexus assessment in the Sava river basin was supported financially by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, as well as by the Environment and Security Initiative.
