Abstract/Description
This report documents the results of the national policy dialogue on “Towards Inclusive Canal Water Management for Resilience Agri-food Systems in Coastal Bangladesh”. The platform brought together key stakeholders from both national and local levels to make actionable pathways. The dialogue focused on deliberating inclusive canal water management strategies to enhance agri-food systems in Bangladesh's coastal regions. It showed key findings on the challenges and opportunities for resilient canal water management while seeking actionable policy pathways to address governance gaps in agri-food systems. Furthermore, the event emphasized strengthening the capacities of national, regional, and local actors to develop and implement nature-based, gender-equitable, and inclusive governance frameworks, ensuring long-term resilience and sustainability of the country’s agri-food systems. This event was organized by the Center for Natural Resource Studies, with support from the CGIAR Initiative on Asian Mega-Deltas.
