Summary
Brazil/India: Central supplies public participationopportunities, then needs to create demand for it
Community-based research (CBR): generating newsolutions for local issues, including water management.
Central – local: Central supports local: supporting community-based research
Central resists local: engineers resist locally generated design.
Why central resistance? Challenges include: differentperspectives and cultures; professional responsibilityand pride; uncertainty
Joint fact-finding as solution?

Thailand: promoting CBR
Thailand Research Fund supporting CBRfor water management and other projects
Money for CBR, but not implementation
Communities supported by Node
Coordinators
Royal Irrigation Department (RID) starting
to do the same

TRF & Prak Nam Daeng
Water flow and quality changed by newupstream dams and industries (1980’s)
RID builds dam to help, but causes 20 year conflict instead!
2000: Local leader learns about CBR, gets TRFhelp
Initial community scepticism
Innovative consultation and consensus building, develops new dam design

Central helps local
TRF provides:
Funds for community-based research
Technical assistance and capacity building,including direct support of Node Coordinators
Community prepares proposal for CBR
Prak Nam Daeng took 2 years to developproposal

Central resists local
Experts at District and National level resistnew design
Royal Irrigation Dept (RID) pushed politicallyto listen
Listen, then modify design
problems Finally (3rd try), get the dam right.
Community still feels that RID not listening Parties arguing over copyright to dam design.

Why resist?
Different perspectives and cultures
Experts: “general” places – e.g. river valley
dam Local: “local” places, with less regional view
Professional responsibility and pride
Uncertainty:What do we do when locals lead?

Solutions?
Expand community-based research into
joint fact-finding (JFF)
JFF = Stakeholders (government and non-
government) seek knowledge together Define research questions
Agree on who will do study and how they will
do it
Etc…

Central resistance? Challenges include:
Different perspectives and cultures
Professional responsibility and pride
Uncertainty
Possible solution: joint fact-finding?
