The Approaches portal contains information on product development, service delivery, finance, promotion, and support systems. This is a very complex and rich field, and at this moment Akvopedia has only a limited number of articles in this Portal, although the number is growing. We need your help! We are now working on a [[Toolbox toolbox for local governments]].
To give some indication as to the status, there are three types of icons. Subjects which have a picture icon are well under way. Subjects with an 'under development' icon are rudimentary, but some content is there. Subjects with an 'Empty' logo are still completely empty, apart from the article template.
