Description

Partnering with local knowledge systems to impact river management. The project aims to connect Local and Indigenous Knowledge Systems (LINKS) to other actors and processes involved in river transformation. Working in partnership with holders of Local and Indigenous knowledge, and using Indonesian river catchments as case studies, the project expects to generate new knowledge in development and planning studies. Expected outcomes include the development and dissemination of recommendations and strategies for how LINKS can inform river management. Anticipated benefits include significant new knowledge on how river management actors can partner with local communities to innovate to meet the compounding challenges of climate change and deliver greater impact and efficiency of investment..
