- National dialogues are characterised by genuine participation of a wide range of stakeholders, including those usually excluded from the policy community such as poor communities and small-scale providers.
- There is a key role for national governments to avoid problems experienced by previous multistakeholder processes where governments were involved after-the-fact.
- The Water Dialogues is flexible. It enables countries to adapt research questions to national realities, while maintaining some global commonalities.
- National PSP assessments will be firmly grounded in evidence generated by holistic research based on robust methodologies within a framework that is common to all country-level reviews.
- National dialogues and the international secretariat will link with existing water sector reform processes thereby avoiding duplication and enhancing effectiveness.
- The emphasis of The Water Dialogues project is on building in-country capacity and robust structures.
- The International Secretariat will be small and its life finite: it will be disbanded in 2008. If new countries wish to establish similar dialogues the project will seek to have its international functions absorbed into the work of an appropriate international institution.
