Territorial Project for Water Management in the Curé Basin

Context

The good qualitative and quantitative status as defined by the SAGE must be achieved by 2027. The area has significant conflict surrounding water management issues.

Our mission

Lisode has been mandated to design a multi-stakeholder consultation strategy and facilitate the co-construction of the PTGE. In partnership with the consulting firm Envilys, Lisode conducted 42 interviews with all local stakeholders. Following the analysis of these interviews, Lisode proposed a consultation strategy and a composition of participant groups aimed at balancing represented interests and connecting actors with divergent postures and interests.

Impacts and results

Despite the tense context of the area, our intervention created the necessary conditions for the consultation to proceed effectively. The process adapted to local and national political events to promote connections and exchanges among the stakeholders in the area.
