TL;DR: The authors examines the historical evolution of participatory water management in coastal Bangladesh and identifies three major shifts: first, from indigenous local systems managed by landlords to centralized government agencies in the 1960s; second, from top-down engineering solutions to small-scale projects and people's participation in the 1970s and 1980s; and third, towards depoliticized community-based water management since the 1990s.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the extent of success of participatory water management and pointed out that the current form of decentralization through a CBNRM framework has not resulted in its stated aims of equitable, efficient, and sustainable management of natural resources; rather it has duplicated existing local government institutions.

TL;DR: In this article, the causal linkages between women empowerment and food availability and access are discussed. But the authors focus on the food security indicators and the roles socio-economic determinants play in shaping these patterns across countries.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a synthesis of the presentations, discussions and conclusions of the ICID session "Irrigation and energy" triggered discussions on these multiple dimensions, including technical, economic and environmental issues, involving farmers, water users' associations, energy suppliers, engineers and other stakeholders.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare experiences of participatory action research (PAR) in coastal and floodplain systems in four countries (Zambia, Solomon Islands, Bangladesh, and Cambodia) with a focus on understanding how to build more equitable governance arrangements.
