8. Toward concrete solutions! Feedback on Regional process questionnaire (1/2) • Added value of a Regional Process • Enable cross-Region sharing on common issues • Support creation of regional Forums where still missing • Bring views from outside of the water sector • Expected results • Bottom-up solutions thanks to online exchanges • Regional hydro-parameters monitoring (drought, floods…) • Regional outputs being the basis of the global results • Criteria for defining a region • Hydrological basins • According to existing regional platforms (AP Forum, GWP…) • Common language • Whatever the regional stakeholders want it to be

9. Toward concrete solutions! Feedback on Regional process questionnaire (2/2) • Building a participatory Regional process • Facilitate participation from early on • Communicate early on the process • Rely on regional institutions • Rely on professional organisations, networks (NGO networks…) • Seek regional political support • Capitalise on existing initiatives (basin committees, water charters) • Ask countries to organise it for the next 8 months, through Internet • Interaction with Political and Thematic processes • Organise cross-process coordination meetings (e.g. mid-2011) • Start quickly, provide quickly inputs to WWC / WWF • Have regional process first to feed thematic and political processes • Have UN onboard • Propose clear and realistic solutions

10. Cross-continental Targets may result in additional regions (e.g. water scarcity discussed at Mediterranean level) Proposed organisation for SMART an WISE regional Targets • Coordinates RP • Informs IFC • Supports regio. Coordinators • Manage regio CfP • Support subregio. Platforms • Identify cross-continental issues • Implement multi- stakeholder proc. by Target • Report outcomes IFC Regional Committee Pdt: Ms. Park – VP: Mr. Bernard – Members: M. Smith? P. Victoria?
