| description | Water crises are often crises of governance. To address interrelated issues of securing
access to sustainable sources of safe water for the world’s populations, scholar and practitioners
have suggested fostering improved modes of water governance that support the implementation of
integrated water resource management (IWRM). Recently, implementation of an IWRM approach was
announced as a target for achieving Goal 6 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study
employs an analytical hierarchy process with a SWOT analysis to assess the current institutional
and political context of water governance in Bangladesh and evaluate IWRM as a means to achieve
the SDGs. |
