ArrayRe-thinking institutional capacity building: lessons from Australia
16/09/2011
Dr Peter Morison from Melbourne Water's Stormwater Quality Team travelled to Porto Alegre, Brazil in September 2011 to present at the International Conference on Urban Drainage. His paper, "Re-thinking institutional capacity-building: lessons from Australia", outlines the path Melbourne Water's Living Rivers program is taking to build the capacity of our partners.
The framework illustrates a completely new way to approach institutional capacity, one which is guided by the socio-political development of a region and indicative of more reflexive modes of urban stormwater governance. The approach follows Dr Peter's PhD research into implementation responses of local government to our stormwater programs.
