Project: Enhancing Trust in government through effective water Governance strategies
| Acronym | EnTruGo (Reference Number: WaterJPI-JC-2018_03) |
| Project Topic | The sustainable management of water resources strongly depends on public trust in the governmental organizations and institutions that govern these resources. In response to a general decline of trust in the government, water managers all over the globe are initiating various democratic innovations to restore trust. Yet little is known about the actual impact of these initiatives on citizens’ trust in the government. This project addresses this gap by analysing and evaluating the direct and indirect effect of such initiatives on trust in the government and the effectiveness and legitimacy of water governance institutions and practices. Surveys and in-depth cases studies will be used to develop and test effective strategies for enhancing and maintaining trust. |
