Add Value to National Development Efforts …and integrate planning of water resources Session 4.2.1: 5th WWF ISTANBUL March 2009
Summary • Starting point for integrating water in national planning • Experiences from Partnership for Africa Water Development • Experiences from Zambia and Mali
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
National development frameworks Different schools thought: Central planning outdated Markets to drive development Dispersed governance Regulation necessary e.g global recession Most countries still develop NDPs
National development frameworks • Specify national priorities • Indicate allocation of national budget e.g. agriculture, education, health, etc
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
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?
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
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)
Summary • Starting point for Integrated Water Planning • Experiences from Partnership for Africa Water Development (PAWD) • The case of Zambia • The way forward
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
Impact on national budget • Water Resources Assessment 3.5 m • Water Resource Development 7.4 m • Water Resource MIS 4 m • Capacity Building 6.3 m • International Waters Programme. 1 m • Monitoring and Evaluation 1m • Cross-cutting issues (HIV, Gender)
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
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
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)
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)
Want to hear more about Mali? • Session: 3.2.2: A Step Ahead: Improving water Management by Anticipating Change? Meeting human environmental needs through IWRM. • Friday 20th March at 14:30 • Sutluce Congress and Culture Center E Block, in Aynalikavak 1 Hall
