The role of interactive agent-based simulation modeling platforms for tradeoff analysis in participatory approaches for integrated water resources management
Christophe le Page from cirad and CPWF/WLE colleagues present on how to support on-going integrated water resource management policy initiatives through multilevel participatory processes in West Africa (the Volta Basin).

2. Quick overview of the project
• One Research question:
How to breach the gap between the rhetoric and the
practices of IWRM in Ghana and Burkina Faso?
• One overall objective :
Support on-going IWRM policy initiatives through multilevel
participatory processes (ComMod approach)
3. Principles of the ComMod approach
• Model as an
intermediary tool
– Model built with
the different
stakeholders
– Transparency of
process
– Adaptiveness of
the process

4. 1-Definition of the common issue
• First workshop : each day with participants of one level :
communities, district and regional level
How to limit siltation – erosion -
flooding?
5. • Example : The board of Bawkudo (Zongoyiri)
Plain wood : Day
1, Oct 2011,
Stylized version,
Day 2 Oct 2011,
Boardgame Day

2-Development of the RPG Bawkudo
6. The RPG Bawkudo : Roles of participants
• Farmers:
– Size of the household,
needs, number of activities
is constrained
– type of activities is opened
but the results are
constrained by land cover
where activities take place
(abacus)
• Decision makers :
– define regulation to meet
district or regional needs.

22. The outcome of participation?
Pretty grid
7 scales of participation (Pretty,
1995)
passive participation
participation by providing
information
Participation through consultation
Participation for material incentives
Functional participation
Interactive participation
Self-mobilization
- people participate in joint
analysis, which leads to
action plans and the
creation or strengthening of
local institutions.
- Use of interdisciplinary
methodologies that seek
multiple perspectives and
use systematic and structured
learning processes.
- But these groups have
control over local decisions,
so that people have an
interest in maintaining
structures or practices
=> design a “smaller” management structure
