After our initial call for proposals launched early 2005, the selection process of the most relevant case studies is presently under way among the partners and members of NICTBO, ANBO and INBO network. Some of these are already available online through our website www.inbo-news.org . Local actions will be selected in order to cover a broad range of issues regarding joint management of large transboundary basins, from state point of view to grassroots level as well, while ensuring that geographical balance will be respected. Therefore we expect at least:
