In 2008, the Directorate of Water Resources Management (DWRM) and the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) adopted a strategy to de-concentrate IWRM at the regional and river basin or
catchment level with central oversight and guidance. One of the mains reasons behind this strategy is that it brings IWRM functions closer to stakeholders (farmers, townspeople, local government officials, etc.). Doing this helps to concentrate the focus onto real problems, to improve the analytical underpinnings of programs and projects and it also provides the opportunity for stakeholders to participate in the formulation of plans and the development of new water infrastructure.
