Oxfam in Nepal, in collaboration with the Water and Energy Commission Secretariat (WECS), piloted an integrated watershed management model in the Rangoon Watershed. The project aimed to bridge policy and practice by promoting inclusive and participatory water governance.

Key components included community engagement, evidence-based planning, and conflict resolution mechanisms. Innovations introduced were inclusive governance structures, a conflict resolution framework, citizen science, and a Community of Practice. The approach integrated water, land, and biodiversity management through research, stakeholder collaboration, and practical tools such as water accounting and online data sharing platforms.
