What is CoOPLAaGE ?
CoOPLAaGE is a an integrated set of participatory methods, tools and protocols designed to support all stakeholders’ groups, from citizens to policy makers, in discussing and engaging really into change strategies in:
· design of an acceptable decision procedure
· modeling of the joint situation
· framing of shared social justice principles
· simulation (role playing game) of change pathways and policy impact
· planning to build coherent action plans
· evaluation of the process and outcomes
· implementation pathway
Why CoOPLAage ?
· CoOPLAaGE is designed for the organizers of water management processes (planning, implementation), open to a wide range of participants (administration, policy makers, consumers, NGOs, farmers, experts, etc.). It covers most needs in participatory decision making, for various types of groups (water agencies, irrigation, regional bodies)
· easily transferable and adaptable to various contexts, countries and players
· attractive and innovative (e.g. role playing games)
· it has a large international users’ network, fostered by trainings and cooperative projects (2014-2015: Tunisia, Kenya, Sénégal, Costa-Rica, Nicaragua, Australia, New-Caledonia // 14 other countries before)
· it is produced by a French public and independent institution
