dc.description.abstractDespite intentions, decentralisation in the water sector has not often resulted in enhancing local decision-making. Vertical integration, which creates strategic linkages between national and sub-national levels, is being promoted as another strategy for climate change adaptation. Based on four case studies in semi-arid regions in Africa and India, the paper focuses on participation and flexibility, two central components of climate change adaptation, and considers how decentralisation has enhanced or undermined these. Coordination and collaboration across all levels and sectors (“cross-scalar”) need to be improved to strengthen adaptation to climate variability and change.en
