An inclusive approach is essential towards effective planning for increased water security across the world, but is often not applied. Social inclusion here means involving people, not just decision makers but also those who normally may not be included in the decision making process. Why is social inclusion important for water infrastructure projects? And how would you include different community/societal groups in a hard infrastructure project? For example local inhabitants of an area or vulnerable groups. In the podcast three different perspectives are given, from the side of the Dutch government organising water projects, from an international consultant working in developing countries, and from an NGO working in the local context.
