The purpose of M-POWER was to research, analyze and adapt water policy as well as improve the participation in dialogues and negotiations on water governance. The project consisted of two modules: Module on Dialogues and Module on Policies. The first module dealt with deliberation, diplomacy and negotiations with the aim of creating new opportunities for meaningful participation and representation in dialogues and negotiations, while the second focused on integration, decentralization and privatization with the aim of improving procedures for taking into account trade-offs and synergies in cross-sector decision-making with respect to water resources management and development.
