The report assesses Türkiye’s water governance framework through a multi-stakeholder approach, drawing on the 12 Principles on Water Governance and 36 indicators developed by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The assessment focuses on three key pillars: effectiveness, efficiency, and trust and engagement.
Based on input from public institutions, local authorities, academia and other relevant stakeholders, the study identifies the strengths of Türkiye’s water governance structure and areas for improvement. It examines key governance issues such as institutional coordination, river basin management, data management, financing and stakeholder engagement, and presents priority areas for improvement and policy recommendations to foster a more effective, integrated, participatory and sustainable water governance.
