Acci�nDescripción
Convocar a partes interesadas/creaci�n de redesIUCN Secretariat led the Nexus Dialogue on Water Infrastructure Solutions 2012-2015, which included the review and updating of lessons learned from the development and operations of large dams and hydraulic infrastructure. The dialogue convened governments, civil society and the private sector in regional workshops and a global conference. IUCN PACO has also convened the West Africa regional...
Otra actividadA draft IUCN strategy on dams has been completed to follow up further on the Res 4.089. The next step will be consultations with IUCN Members.
Influencia pol�tica/promoci�n de pol�ticasIUCN Global Water Programme has joined the environmental chamber of the protocol governance committee of the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol, working alongside TNC and WWF, with a view to promoting continuous improvement in environmental performance of hydropower.
Actividades t�cnicas/cient�ficasIUCN Global Water Programme is implementing a 4 year scientific assessment of applications of natural infrastructure as nature-based solutions for water storage and infrastructure functions.
Indique cuáles han sido los resultados/logros obtenidos en el marco de las actividades realizadas: 
The Nexus Dialogue provided a platform for sharing lessons and has resulted in publication of a set of 6 synthesis papers on innovation for water infrastructure from environmental, financing, engineerinig and governance perspectives. The process has also contributed directly to the preparation of new financing strategies for nexus-based design of infrastructure, including nature-based solutions, for example by the EU. The West Africa Dialogue on Dams has been instrumental in shaping regional ECOWAS strategy on hydraulic infrastructure.
¿Qué esfuerzos se están llevando a cabo para superar dichos obstáculos?: 
Lack of human resources slowed down progress on finalisation of the revised IUCN strategy on dams.
