Expectations of Training
• ?
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
Questions posed in Rhine• When do you involve stakeholders?
• Too little, too much communication?Under/Overdosis of information vs. Waking sleeping dogs
• How to “win” stakeholders over?– those who have real stake– those who don’t have stake but can prevent work
• How to deal with difficult stakeholders?
• Which information do you share?
• How to balance interests of stakeholdersEnvironmental groups vs. Agrarians
agrarians vs. agrarians
mipoolman
Sticky Note
The reason I added the fly-ins, was because the last question struck me as extremely interesting since agrarians (especially in the Kromme Rijn) could be of many different types. For example, you have the fruit-farmers and the livestock farmers. In the Kromme Rijn there has been some tension between the interests of these two and therefore decision-makers must make sure to specify which type of agrarian they mean.

Introduction to Integrated and Adaptive Water Resources
Management
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
Challenges for water management
• Uncertainty due to Global ChangeClimate change, population growth, economic growth, etc. (in)directlyinfluence demand and supply of water
• Uncertainty in management Uncertainty of monitoring, data collection, interpretations, effects of new pollutants
• Uncertainty due to ComplexityLinks with other sectors, with up- and downstream water-users, with institutions, at various scales and time frames
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
Traditional water management
• Relied on predict and control• Sectoral approach
• Focused more on controlling local hydrological problems through, for example,– Dikes to protect towns against floods– Reservoirs for irrigation water– etc.
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
Dublin Principles (1992)
• Freshwater is a finite and vulnerable resource,
• Water development and management should be based on a participatory approach at all levels;
• Women play a central part in the provision, management, and safeguarding of water;
• Water should be recognised as an economic good.
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
Integrated Water Resources Management
mipoolman
Sticky Note
From the Dublin Principles, the concept of Integrated Water Resources Management emerged. This diagram shows the integration of three systems as proposed by the Global Water Partnershop (GWP).
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
IWRM is not an end in itself, but a means of achieving:
• Efficiency to make (water) resources go as far as possible;
• Equity, in the allocation of water across different social and economic groups;
• Environmental sustainability, to protect the water resources base and associated eco-systems.
GWP (2000)
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
However,
• A lot of discussion about implementation (how to)• Site specifications make prescriptions difficult• Have to deal with various laws and regulations
So, there are a lot of uncertainties and variations to deal with
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
Adaptive WRM
• Acknowledges explicitly uncertainties and complexity of the systems to be managed,
• Is a systematic process to improve management approaches by learning from the consequences of implemented strategies,
• Active involvement of stakeholders in the process of developing, implementing and monitoring of river basin management plans is key.
mipoolman
Sticky Note
The concept of IWRM, however, has been under some pressure as shown in the previous slide. This has led to the concept of Adaptive Water Resources Management. This concepts focuses more on the three points in this slide. The interesting point for this workshop, since we are talking about stakeholders, is the third.
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
“Adaptive management is learning to manage by managing to learn” (Bormann et al, 1993)
Managing to learn from:– The past
– Present similar actions
– Other people doing similar things
– Stakeholders who will be affected by (lack of) changes
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
Mix: technical, social, ecological problem solving approach
Sectoral management
Central infrastructure
Single function landscapes
Pure technical approach to problem solving
Whose scenario?With whom?
mipoolman
Sticky Note
This slide gives an idea of some of the differences between what we call the traditional water management practices and the adaptive water management practices. I circled and added blurbs to indicate what this means for involvement of stakeholders. You will have to realize whom you will need to negotiate with, who has made the scenarios (and who may or may not agree with these), cross-sector integration means integration between different types of groups of people, and mixing problem solving approaches means understanding who you are dealing with and how they prefer and view these approaches.
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
Processes in adaptive water management• Involvement of stakeholders
– Exchange information – Integrate knowledge & requirements set by others – Build commitment– Receive and give feedbackStrive for: Balanced representation and access to information
• Decision making processes– open to information from diverse sources– allow for changes in rules and structures– exchange information and work across spatial scales and sectors
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
Decision-making process
mipoolman
Sticky Note
I like to link Adaptive water management practices with the decision making process, because that is after all a process most water managers "have to" deal with in daily work activities. That is why I included this slide and make reference to it in the following slide.
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis fits in …
• Identifying key stakeholders• Assess their interests• Assess how interests (may) affect project• How best to accommodate stakeholders (strategy)
• Assessment of socio-economic context• Examination of dynamics of that context
~ people change, ideas change, situations change

mipoolman
Sticky Note
Since we are talking about Stakeholder Issue Analysis, I wanted to show how this fits in with the decision-making process. This slide is the first step of showing that by indicating where the stakeholder analysis and the issue analysis come in.

Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
Reason for exercise
To see – how people’s perceptions are different– how some perceptions are similar– that you can look at the same thing but see different things
When dealing with stakeholders, this is important to realize:- Not everyone shares the same ideas- Not everything is clear to others- Interpretations are different

Exercise part 2
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
Exercise Stakeholder-Issue Analysis (part 2)
Step a• In groups list the people you will find near or in your
station– How did you start identification?
– Can you group them in certain interests?
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
Exercise Stakeholder-Issue Analysis (part 2)
Step b: Formulate the topicStation is considered unsafe and will need to be altered
- Determine why the station is unsafe - Determine what will need to be altered
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
Formulating the topic
• How did you determine• What would you have done in the “real world”?
• Context in which issues are to be resolved• Clarify the objectives• Identify constraints
• Interviews• Visit to site (community mapping, transect walks, etc)• Background study (literature or talks about similar proj’s)

Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
Identify Stakeholders
- Build up on initial list (step a)
How to:- Brainstorm within team
- Literature review/ past experience
- Semi-structured interviews with “experts”
What to ask?
mipoolman
Sticky Note
Identifying Stakeholders is like the “Who is it?” game. Did you ask yourself and your team sufficient questions to determine if you have covered all stakeholders large and small? Can you “eliminate” some stakeholders because their interest is represented by another or because they can be grouped? See the following slides for more questions.
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
Identify Stakeholders (2)
What to ask?- Can they contribute to decision-making?
- Are they needed for implementation?
- Can they block decision-making and implementation?
- Are they affected by or have interest in the issues at stake?
~ from HarmoniCOP Handbook, 2005
Stakeholder-Issue Analysis Training, March 25, 2008Tisza River Basin, Uzghorod, Ukraine
Identify Stakeholders (3)Also realize:
- Who are the “voiceless”?
- Who are the representatives?
- Who is responsible for what is intended?
- Who is likely to mobilize for or against project?
- Who can make project more effective through their participation?
- Who can make it less effective by their non-participation or opposition?
- Who can contribute financial and technical resources?

Taking dynamics into account
• Situations change continuously– Ideas change
– Stakeholders change
– Relations between stakeholders change
– Policy changes
• In grids: mark possibilities for change– Foresee-able changes
– Possible changes
In order to identify potentials for collaboration
