Abstract

ABSTRACTThis article analyses how La Plata River Basin experts perceive the process of setting up the governance of transboundary waters and determines whether the principles of good governance are adhered to, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). A questionnaire was developed and submitted to experts with demonstrated expertise in the field. The results suggest that transboundary water governance needs to be strengthened. Critical issues include principles related to policy coherence and coordination among sectors, integrity and transparency, stakeholder engagement, and balanced commitments between consumers, rural and urban regions, and generations.KEYWORDS: La Plata River Basintransboundary water governanceThe OECD Principles on Water Governancetransboundary water professionalsopinion survey AcknowledgementsThe authors extend their gratitude and acknowledgements to all water professional participants in this study.Disclosure statementNo potential competing interest was reported by the authors.Notes1.
