Reference document nr.11 - Emerging good practice on Codes of Conduct, Partnership Principles and Memorandums of Understanding in the Water Sector – 2010

This paper is based on the experience and best practices in the development of codes of conduct, partnership principles and memorandums of understanding in the water sector in Burkina Faso, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda and Zambia. It is inspired by the outcome and deliberations of a seminar run by the Ministry of Water Resources and Public Works in Ghana (March 2010) and commented on by a number of EU delegations and other parties.

This document focuses attention on the use of codes of conduct and partnership principles as instruments of coordination and not as tools for common pool funding or delegated cooperation or agreements on division of labour.
