    Strengthening Integrated Water Resources Management through Institutional Analysis: an Analytical Tool and Operative Methodology for Research Projects and Programmes (‘WaRM-In’)

    The WaRM-In project sensitises researchers and practitioners to the political dimensions and institutional contexts of IWRM in European and global contexts, providing them with an analytical and methodological framework to refine their IWRM projects accordingly in both planning and implementation phases. Working closely with project managers and researchers, the Leibniz-Institute for Regional Development and Structural Planning (IRS) produces a handbook to be used within projects as well as key recommendations for programme managers on how to integrate institutional and political analysis in the IWRM projects they fund.
