(01/06/10) Twin2Go hosted six case study review workshops between March and June 2010. Case study experts provided data for 26 case studies from Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia, among these were 4 WETwin case study sites: Guayas, Olifants, Upper White Nile and Inner Niger Delta. Following the case study review workshops a synthesis workshop will take place this September (1-3/09/2010) at the Stockholm Resilience Centre. Results of the basin reviews will be discussed in a cross-basin comparison. The synthesis is a crucial step in the project, as it aims to test hypotheses about adaptive water governance, to detect patterns, and to identify key factors for good water governance performance in a given context. More information can be read in the second Twin2Go Newsletter.
