Delta Programme embodies all administrative levels
the Netherlands

The legally based national Delta Programme in the Netherlands incorporates all administrative levels in safeguarding the country from flooding and ensuring continued availability of freshwater. The programme is a joint responsibility of all involved ministries with a coordinating role for the Minister of Infrastructure and Environment. The programme has a strong vertical commitment through inclusion of provincial and municipal authorities and involved institutions such as water boards, business and civil society organisations. At the regional level there are advisory groups that play an important role in the deliberations of the regional steering groups. At the local level, ‘municipal ambassadors’ have been appointed for the Delta Programme for each of the six area-oriented sub-programmes. They are responsible for involving municipalities in the Delta Programme by providing information, encouragement and, wherever necessary, support. They also act as liaison officers between the programme organisation and the municipal authorities.
