WP2 - Assessing multi-level activities in water
and biodiversity governance

• Identify and analyse case studies
• Main tasks
• identify and analyse cases within the praxis
  affiliates
• integrate the case studies within the wider water
  and biodiversity governance
• assess European water and biodiversity governance

WP2 - Past case examples

• Training objectives
• Better understanding of MLG in water and
  biodiversity
• Test the application of the framework
• Provide basis for a screening exercise aimed at
  identifying possible cases and linkages to PhD
  projects
• For GoverNat
• To test collectively the strengths and weaknesses
  of the frame before applying it in greater detail
• To collect a portfolio of cases on water and
  biodiversity governance in different countries

Other issues to explore

• Actors involved, their status, power relations
• Most cases dealt with stakeholder participation
• Cases of public participation are mainly cases of
  non-participation
• Role of resource attributes and different
  perceptions regarding resources
• Impact of MLG issues on participatory processes -
  ex. Monfurado case where participation is
  hindered with the entry of other levels
• Most cases reported are cases of failure - the
  exploration of the reasons for this may provide
  better understanding and insights for improved
  approaches
