making, planning, implementation and M & E process
1. Conduct political dialogue and negotiation at regional
level
2. Important to participate local stakeholders in the
formulation of policy and planning
2. Establishing sustainable storm water management
strategies

policy and planning frames
Piece of advice

awareness to Mayor, councillors and officials
about climate change and cluva results
– Communicating in understandable way
