ISET will hosts South Asia Nadi Sambad [South Asia River Dialogue] (SoANaS), an online platform. SoANaS was designed to foster greater dialogue and the sharing of perspectives among sectors, disciplines, epistemologies, ontologies, geographic regions, and generations. The ideas will help seek a mosaic of water solutions in the region and broaden the debate on water management.
Influencing public policy encompasses four interconnected elements in a continuum—opinion-building, discourse-setting, knowledge-uptake, and policy-change actions. SoANaS aims to work towards shaping opinion and incrementally towards policy uptake by helping agents engage vertically and horizontally within the socio-political space.
