Two Partners for Water countries, Turkey and Kenya, have approached the Dutch consortium to assist them in this paradigm-shift to pro-active water management.
Turkey
The first country is Turkey where water scarcity is one of the major challenges to economic development. For one river basin, the Gediz Basin, this water scarcity has increased over the last decades and the country is looking for IWMSM that can help to develop their water action plans.
Kenia
The second country to focus on is Kenya, where both very dry and very wet areas can be found. Especially the area around Kitui will be used for the project to identify how IWMSM can be implemented.
