Synopsis (short abstract) As global water demand is projected to increase along with the number of people living in areas of high water stress, the allocation of water resources is increasingly critical. In the Asia-Pacific region, the agricultural sector, in particular, faces growing competition over water resources from other sectors to support rapid population and economic growth, and climate change has compounded this pressure. To address these challenges, FAO launched "Scaling up capacities for responsible governance of water tenure (ScaleWat)" in Thailand and Colombia to promote equitable and sustainable water allocation by strengthening water monitoring and improving access to accurate information on water resources. This report summarizes the key points from the National Project Launch and Inception Workshop for the ScaleWat project in Thailand, held in October 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand. The workshop featured a training on the water tenure assessment methodology and was attended by ScaleWat government partner, the Office of the National Water Reosurces (ONWR), as well as representatives from other government agencies, farmer organizations, and civil society engaged in water management in Thailand.

    The new generation of watershed management programmes and projects
    A resource book for practitioners and local decision-makers based on the findings and recommendations of a FAO review
    2006
    Also available in:
    On the occasion of the International Year of Mountains-2002, FAO and its partners undertook a large-scale assessment and global review of the current status and future trends of integrated and participatory watershed management. The overall objectives were to promote the exchange and dissemination of experiences in implementing watershed management projects in the decade from 1990 to 2000 and to identify the vision for a new generation of watershed management programmes and projects. This resour ce book represents a summary and critical analysis of the rich discussions and vast materials that emerged during the review, as well as the review's findings and recommendations. It presents the state of the art in watershed management, promotes further reflection and creative thinking and proposes new ideas and approaches for future watershed management programmes and projects. This publication has been written primarily for field-level watershed management practitioners and local decision-mak ers involved in watershed management at the district or municipality level. It will also be a useful source of information for other readers such as senior officers and consultants specialized in other areas, evaluators, policy-makers and students of watershed management.

    Cluster evaluation of two projects contributing to the second phase of the FAO programme ″Supporting the Implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests“
    Project codes: GCP/GLO/347/MUL and GCP/INT/328/UK

    The Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) have been promoted by FAO through several initiatives at global, regional and national level. The projects assessed achieved significant results in the areas of awareness raising and capacity development, policy dialogue, influence, and, to a lesser extent, legal and policy reform processes. At regional level and continental level, the VGGT were integrated in several instruments, linking local and national tenure agendas with relevant broader frameworks. At global level, FAO continued to influence global dialogue, particularly through the development and distribution of VGGT technical materials as public goods. The evaluation emphasized the need to invest in political economy analysis and to strengthen integration with other actors. Increased attention could be paid to identify ways to increase linkages between capacity development and multisectoral dialogue on the one hand, and decision-making processes on the other.
