Abstract:
This information sheet discusses the “Amu Darya basin” process which was carried out within the framework of the Development Policy Review Network (DPRN). In 2010, the EastWest Institute and the Irrigation and Water Engineering Group of Wageningen University started this process to promote information exchange and raise awareness among Belgian and Dutch policymakers, practitioners, private sector experts and researchers who work on Afghanistan and Central Asia, about the need for cross-border cooperation on water management as a way of improving regional stability. For this purpose they established the Amu Darya Basin Network, which is an international network of policymakers and experts in the field of rural development and water management in Afghanistan and Central Asia. The ‘Amu Darya basin’ process included connecting experts in the ‘Amu Darya Basin Net-work’ through conference calls, the organisation of an international conference, and the publication of two papers.
