CARIWIN aimed to synthesise key components of IWRM at the community level, and lessons learned from case studies, into a manageable process to guide the development of Community Water Strategies. A generic framework titled A Framework for Developing Community Water Strategies was produced. The framework proposed is based on a four-phase process of assessment, planning, implementation and monitoring, each associated with specific expected outputs. Several subcomponents are described in more detail under each phase.
This Framework, as well as country-specific documents for CARIWIN partner countries, were used in a capacity-building exercise during the 2010 CARIWIN Regional Seminar.
