…and integrate planning of water resources

Session 4.2.1: 5th WWF ISTANBUL March 2009

Page 2: Add Value to  National Development Efforts

Summary

• Starting point for integrating water in national planning

• Experiences from Partnership for Africa Water Development

• Experiences from Zambia and Mali

Page 3: Add Value to  National Development Efforts

Water as a starting point

• Water is key to development

• IWRM planning to address socio-economic challenges at different levels

• Water to be integrated in national (PRS) and local development frameworks

Page 4: Add Value to  National Development Efforts

National development frameworks

Different schools thought:

Central planning outdatedMarkets to drive developmentDispersed governanceRegulation necessary e.g global recession

Most countries still develop NDPs

Page 5: Add Value to  National Development Efforts

National development frameworks

• Specify national priorities

• Indicate allocation of national budget e.g. agriculture, education, health, etc

Page 6: Add Value to  National Development Efforts

Usual arguments we have to work around

• Water is a social and political good (basic services; big public expenditures) not viewed as an economic good

• No water resources accounting

• Water is not assigned a value as an input to other productive sectors

Page 7: Add Value to  National Development Efforts

Defining an entry point for integration

• Undestand the national economic development planning cycle

• Study coordination mechanism for the National Developement Plan– Who is in charge?– Who finally decides– What mechanism is used?

Page 8: Add Value to  National Development Efforts

Working with NDF cycles

• Identify the Champion – Institution? Person?– Get them on your side– Take the other ministries along. – Involve key stakeholders– Media is IMPORTANT

Page 9: Add Value to  National Development Efforts

The approach in Zambia

• Zambia Water Partnership lobbied for incorporation of IWRM programmes in NDP.

• It mobilized media, stakeholders and participated in the water Sector Advisory Group (SAG)

Page 10: Add Value to  National Development Efforts

Summary

• Starting point for Integrated Water Planning

• Experiences from Partnership for Africa Water Development (PAWD)

• The case of Zambia

• The way forward

Page 11: Add Value to  National Development Efforts

IWRM addressing Zambia national goals

Poverty alleviation: income to rural communities in agriculture sectors.

Food security: improved land and water use practices increased productivity

Industrial development: communities engage in small-scale industry, agri-industry, tourism and water transport.

Adressing the MDGs in national planning

• Eradicate of extreme poverty and hunger • Combat malaria and water-born diseases• Environmental sustainability and sustainable

development• Access to safe water sources • Efficient and effective use of water resources • Better access to safe water

Summary

• Starting point for Integrated Water Planning

• Partnership for Africa Water Development

• The case of Zambia

• The way forward

Anchoring Integrated Water Resources Management: Follow-up and monitoring

Page 15: Add Value to  National Development Efforts

Advice from the partnerships

• Research national planning cycle

• Find entry point; most leverage - use partners

• Sensitize and build capacities of key individuals

• Demonstrate IWRM strengthens national development

Page 16: Add Value to  National Development Efforts

More advice.....

• Work with targeted key individuals

• Give examples of poor results of un coordinated efforts – there are plenty

• Analyse national budgets and that affected expenditure/income: ££££ $$$$

• Point value added of preventive measure (IWRM)

Page 17: Add Value to  National Development Efforts

Mali

• Water Code in 2003

• Started its IWRM Planning in 2004

• National water policy document in 2006 – aim: “contribute to poverty alleviation …”

• Cabinet of Ministers Adopts IWRM (2008)

• Mobilized funds (donors and GOV) for implementation (2009)
