This chapter provides a brief history of major conflicts in the South Caucasus
and highlights the peacebuilding potential of cooperation on management of
shared water resources. The chapter discusses two regional water programs run
by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in the South Caucasus
and identifies the initiatives’ successes and failures in implementing transboundary
water resource management in the region. USAID’s efforts demonstrate how
donor support of technical cooperation can promote peacebuilding despite ethnic
tension and political stalemate. Although relatively little progress was made by
the countries at the political level, USAID’s attempts to foster collaboration at
the technical level on water resource management yielded several notable achievements. The chapter concludes by considering the next steps to facilitate continued
cooperation on water resource management in the South Caucasus and the broader
lessons learned about donor assistance in integrated water resource management
in regions emerging from conflict.
