GWA addresses gender issues at Regional Workshop on Optimisation for Sustainable Water Resources Management (OPTIMA).

The aim of the regional workshop was to draw attention to comparable or similar river basin management issues, and how these have been tackled through an active process of participatory stakeholder involvement. The 31 participants (9 female) of the workshop consisted of the OPTIMA partners and the stakeholders, the invited speakers and organising staff.

Although it was only the first time gender issues were discussed within this platform at a highly technical workshop, the organizers concluded that the inclusion of the gender topic had been a success.
