Documentary abstract — original language
This policy brief draws on research examining the implementation of rights of rivers in Bangladesh and Colombia (Rodríguez-Blásquez et al., 2026). While these cases differ in their legal and institutional design, they illustrate general challenges for countries that have adopted rights of rivers frameworks. Through a comparative analysis of rights of rivers implementation in both countries, we focus on practical governance lessons for policymakers seeking to make rights of rivers effective. Key messages: - Legal recognition of river rights is the first step for equitable river governance. - River rights must be clearly defined and operationalized. - Governance arrangements must enable coordinated leadership and accountability. - River governance should integrate community knowledge and participation. - River health should be assessed through both ecological and social criteria.
