| dc.description | The Global Workshop on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and Inland Fisheries, organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), was held in Entebbe, Uganda, 18–20 March 2025. The workshop brought together 38 participants from 20 countries – including representatives from basin management organizations (BMOs), regional fishery bodies (RFBs), national agencies, and technical experts – to support the integration of inland fisheries into basin-level planning and water governance.Building on prior work by FAO and its partners, the event served as a platform to review and refine a draft intersectoral methodology for integrated basin assessment and management with the aim of aligning inland fisheries with broader land, water and ecosystem management efforts. Participants also reviewed six pilot project proposals from major basins in Africa, Asia and Latin America, providing targeted feedback to enhance cross-sectoral collaboration, participatory planning and implementation feasibility. The workshop concluded with a set of agreed next steps, including finalizing pilot proposals, updating the methodology, mobilizing resources, and sustaining collaboration through a multistakeholder steering committee. This report summarizes the workshop’s outcomes and key lessons, as well as a forward-looking roadmap for embedding inland fisheries within IWRM, intersectoral basin governance and broader agrifood system transformation strategies. | |
