New training package on benefit sharing:
The concept of benefit-sharing represents an alternative approach to the conventional way of negotiation. Operationalising benefit-sharing goes beyond negotiating water volumes allocated to different needs. It opens up dialogue to appreciate the range of benefits available in a river basin and how these can be distributed and shared amongst stakeholders.
To help make the concept of benefit sharing more practical, IUCN developed a training package with six steps which function as a roadmap and can be applied in basins at different stages of development.
