The Crossing Boundaries (CB) project aims to contribute to the paradigm shift in water resources management in South Asia, summarised in the concept of IWRM (Integrated Water Resources Management), by means of a partnership-based programme for capacity building of water professionals on IWRM and gender & water through higher education, innovation and social learning focussed research (‘research with an impact’), knowledge base development and networking.
