Propose a twinning
The twinning promoted within TwinBasin focuses on integraded water resources management at the basin level. This twinning means establishing a link between two basin organisations (or similar entities), signatories of the Memorandum of Understanding, to foster exchange of knowledge, learning from each other and discussing similar problems.
The main objective of a twinning agreement is to promote capacity building of river basin organisations, to improve their expertise and to help them to overcome water management problems mainly by :
- Promoting a friendly cooperation between water managers
- Tightening ties among basin organisations
- Improving communication between the basins participating in the twinning
- Encouraging exchange of expertise, knowledge and technical staff
- Strengthening effectiveness of integrated water management within organisations
- Improving, overall, the functioning of these institutions
Through TwinBasin, Basin Organisations will find funding and a starting point for improving their capacity and finding solutions to water management problems.
