  5. Collaborative governance“A process in which participants representing different interests are collectively empowered to make a policy decision or make recommendations to a final decision-maker who will not substantially change the consensus recommendation from the group.”Guy Salmon

  6. Why choose collaboration? • More likely to resolve complex issues than consultative processes. • More likely to result in innovative solutions, better tailored to specific catchments. • Leads to a stronger sense of ownership. • Solution more likely to be enduring and robust. • Builds communities and enhances individuals. • Expand problem-solving competence by drawing on stakeholders’ wide range of knowledge, understanding and resources.

  7. When is collaboration essential? Solving “wicked problems”, dilemmas where: • High degree of concern, upset or interest about an issue • Causes complex and involve many stakeholders • Technical experts disagree or are unclear • Previous single stakeholder initiatives have not worked • Likely to be difficult to get agreement among stakeholders • Difficultfor the lead agency to implement the programme on its own • Solutions are not clear or might take the lead agency into new and uncertain territory.
