D2.4 Report: Conceptual guidelines for case studies
Deliverable D2.4, due in September 2013, set out how the ENHANCE case studies should think about multi-sector partnerships, starting from the observation that existing partnerships often fail to manage natural hazard risk.

D2.4 gave the ten ENHANCE case studies a common way of looking at multi-sector partnerships. Without it, a railway operator in the Austrian Alps, a drought committee in the Júcar basin and a port authority in Rotterdam would have had little shared vocabulary for comparing their arrangements.
The report starts from a blunt observation. Existing partnerships often fail to manage natural hazard risk effectively, which is why new forms are needed. The guidelines then describe what the case studies should examine when they assess an existing partnership or help design a new one.
When ENHANCE listed its publications in January 2015, it described D2.4 as guidance on how to build efficient partnerships (video and publications record). The report belongs to the same early group as D2.1, the inventory of tools, and D3.1, the inventory of risk scenarios (D3.1 record), which together prepared the ground for the case work.
Whether the case studies followed the guidelines can be read in the case-study atlas, where the ten partnerships are described one by one.
The report is listed in the document library.
