The project sought to understand the implications for residents in four peri-urban locations of three
south Asian countries in the overall context of climate change. This action-research project shall serve
as a basis for capacity-building at the local level to address these concerns and bring in stakeholders
to discuss and deliberate the issues for policy change in favour of the vulnerable communities. A
series of interactions is proposed to bring forth the nuances of this uneven development process in
South Asia. The project is coordinated by South Asia Consortium for Interdisciplinary Water
Resources Studies and executed in association with the consortium members and a team of
researchers and experts from South Asia. In addition, Management Development Institute, Gurgaon,
India shall be involved as knowledge partner for the execution of the project. This action-research
project endeavours to bring in peri-urban water resource dynamics in the wake of climate change at
the forefront of research, action and policy agenda at the South Asia level.
