On March 17, 2010, in Beijing, China, USAID organized a lessons-learned workshop highlighting results of a two-year initiative demonstrating good practices in engaging stakeholders to ensure effective water services delivery.  Through pilot projects in Jiangsu, Yunnan and Guangdong provinces, USAID and key Chinese partners showcased new ways to improve both sector investment planning and water services delivery by obtaining direct feedback from stakeholders, including customers.  As part of this effort, ECO-Asia cooperated with Hohai University in Jiangsu Province and the Yunnan Academy for Social Sciences.  Through WaterLinks, ECO-Asia also facilitated twinning partnerships between Manila, Philippines and Yancheng China Water Company, and between Los Angeles and Shenzhen Merchants Water Company.
