Global development practitioner, experience in private and public sectors working with international organization. Expert in strategic partnership to facilitate large-scale programmes for sustainable development.
Due to its #transboundary and #multisectoral nature, the #sustainable management of #water resources requires the creation of transboundary and multisectoral cooperation frameworks, which involve not only sovereign states but also local governments and basin organizations (e.g. River Basin Organizations) who are the main provider of water-related services. But these entities are usually limited in their ability, including their access to financing, to successfully fulfil their mandate. In a context of strong budgetary pressure on governments, the mobilization of #private #capital is necessary. Promoting access to #public and #private #capital for these #sub-sovereign and #non-sovereign entities while strengthening their institutional capacities is also crucial. The current #financial #ecosystem also needs to be transformed and better reflect the realities of our global challenges, including the #global #water #crisis and #climate change, which do not know national or sectoral boundaries. This is a topic to which we need to give more attention, to which we need to bring different perspectives and for which we need to encourage #multistakeholder #partnerships. It is therefore important to discuss the challenges and opportunities when it comes to financing for water management and how #innovative #financing mechanisms and #cross-sectoral #partnerships can address these challenges and create new impact investment opportunities.
