SEI y la gestión participativa del agua: referentes para procesos participativos de acueductos comunitarios
Summary
This guide from the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) presents tools and resources designed to support participatory water management and the planning of community aqueducts, with a particular focus on integrating social dimensions of poverty and inequality into water resource management in Colombia.
Key insights
- SEI utilizes 'Serious Games' as a participatory strategy to help diverse stakeholders understand and contribute to the update of Watershed Management and Ordering Plans (POMCA). In the Campoalegre case, this tool allowed participants to easily grasp the document's purpose and prioritize needs, providing a model for other territories and community aqueducts.
- Using Tableau for data visualization, SEI applied the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency's (Sida/ASDI) Multidimensional Poverty Framework to water management in Campoalegre. The analysis evaluated four dimensions: resources, opportunity and options, power and voice, and human security, specifically among coffee growers.
- Analysis of water management in Campoalegre revealed that some regions face water scarcity likely to worsen due to population growth and climate change. Findings indicate that many small-scale coffee growers in remote areas have limited water access, and while law prioritizes human consumption, remote communities may still lack access.
- SEI emphasizes that understanding poverty dimensions is essential for measuring the economic implications of varied water access and identifying the drivers of inequality and conflict over water resources. This approach ensures water management considers both the physical state of the water and the needs of its users.
