Stakeholders Contribution to Sustainable Development Goal 6 Targets - Cross-border Drinking Water Resources Management Perspective

The approach applied in methodology development and application in stakeholder management that contribute to sustainable cross-border drinking water supply and integrated water resources management within the Adriatic region is presented. It was developed within the strategic project Networking for Drinking Water Supply in Adriatic Region (DRINKADRIA) where eight countries across the Adriatic region contributed in implementation to assess and evaluate the framework for sustainable cross-border drinking water resources management given the constrains and challenges within the project area. The interlinkage among stakeholders’ inputs and pertinent Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG6) indicators puts into perspective added value of stakeholders contribution in addressing relevant issues and options for sustainable cross - border drinking water resources management and SDG6 targets reinforcement.
