| At its nineteenth special session in 1997, the General Assembly
called for the initiation of a strategic approach for the implementation of
all aspects of the sustainable use of fresh water for social and economic
purposes, including safe drinking water and sanitation, water for irrigation,
recycling, and wastewater management, and the important role fresh water
plays in natural ecosystems. Since then, the promotion and development of
strategic planning and management methodologies of water resources have
become a major focus of regional cooperation in the programme of work of
ESCAP.
In that context, with funding from the United Nations Development
Account, a project entitled Capacity-building in strategic planning and
management of natural resources in Asia and the Pacific was launched in
2000 aimed at assisting planners and decision makers in developing
strategies to address the trade-offs and complimentarities between policies
on economic growth, social equity and environmental objectives in three
phases.
The Guidelines were subsequently used in some 17 case studies in
phase III in 2003 and 2004 for the development of strategic plans in the
following countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and
Uzbekistan of Central Asia; China and Mongolia of North-East Asia; Fiji
and Papua New Guinea of the Pacific; Pakistan and Sri Lanka of South
Asia; and the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar,
Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam of South-East Asia. |
