Transboundary Water Governance for Water Security Webinar Series
“Water governance sets the “rules of the game” for the way water is managed. It determines how or even whether sustainable water resource management is implemented. Water governance is organised according to policy, laws and institutions in a country. In transboundary basins, good water governance requires the countries sharing waters to cooperate” - International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), 2020

Water security is critical for ecosystem, human and animal health, especially for regions where water is scarce and of poor quality. In an increasingly connected planet, the collaboration between countries is the key to ensure a future for all species on Earth. Transboundary water systems are an ideal catalyst to create this collaboration and begin multi-country governance systems that look at water resources in their natural borderless context.

This webinar series taps the knowledge and expertise of IUCN and the Sustainable Water Partnership (SWP) to provide in-depth understanding on transboundary water governance and diplomacy, discuss case studies from various regions, and draw lessons learned for Southern Africa.

The series is the last of three training sessions organised by the Big Data Analytics and Transboundary Water Partnership for Southern Africa to increase knowledge on issues pertaining to Big Data Analytics tools and systems and Transboundary Water management. You can find the two previous series on the YouTube channel Big Data Transboundary Water Collaboration.
