RALCEA (the Latin American Network of Centres of Excellence in the Water Sector) is a bridge between institutional actors (Focal Points as liaisons and as representatives of governments) and Centres of Excellence for the development of processes to strengthen capabilities and knowledge for sustainable, equitable and efficient management of water resources.

In order to establish such actions, RALCEA views its work on the “Mapping of Actors” as a key area, which serves to reveal the specific needs and interests of the different actors and the development of capabilities for institutional strengthening. Joint efforts by the Centres of Excellence and Focal Points will generate improved governance and more effective management of water resources.

The contents of capability development include and accompany the management and implementation of programmes and projects, which must take into consideration both the design of actions aligned with short-term needs and those dealing with future scenarios.

The mapping of actors will be dynamic and multi-dimensional, performed in real time with the actors and those offering capacity development moving forward in a cycle of knowledge generation and transfer, accompanying specific actors to offer them capacity development tailored to each specific time and context.
