Spanish conference seeks best practices to manage water in federal countries

To cope with water shortages, climate change and resultant drought or flooding, federal countries face special challenges because in most federations different orders of government are responsible for different aspects of a country’s overall stewardship of this vital resource.    

Forum young professionals share their experiences in India

Two Forum young professionals recently met with Forum staff to de-brief on their eight-month internships in India where they worked and gained insightful perspectives on government and healthcare.
