Mobilizing Sustainable Funding

There never seems to be enough money to do the things that are necessary to ensure sustainable management of a lake and its basin. However, this module provides some specific guidance to lake basin managers on how to maximize the amount of funds at their disposal. This includes advice on how to acquire local, national and international funds.
