This vision could point towards more effective multi-level governance, better policy coherence and planning (including climate change scenarios), more systematic use of economic instruments, alignment of river basin authorities, comprehensive and consistent information systems and public participation, and better financing and regulatory frameworks for service provision. The process should provide a basis for engaging a broad range of stakeholders from the national and subnational level in applying innovative solutions. Such a strategic vision would require a high level of leadership and commitment to raise the profile of water on the national reform agenda.
