The Programme of Work for 2019-2021 under the Water Convention, adopted by Meeting of the Parties at its eighth session (Nur-Sultan, 10-12 October 2018), includes Programme Area 3 on Promoting an integrated and intersectoral approach to water management at all levels, which aims, among others to “support the development of equitable and sustainable transboundary arrangements on water allocation, and, to this end, increase understanding and knowledge of the criteria, mechanisms, tools and good practices for water allocation in transboundary basins and aquifers”. An Expert Group, which is comprised of nominated individuals with relevant expertise in water allocation, met to provide strategic advice and inputs for the development of a Handbook on Transboundary Water Allocation. This was a closed meeting not open to the general public.
