Outline • Project Interventions • Approach • Beneficiaries • Main activities • Outcomes • M &E and learning • Communication • Stakeholders coordination
Project Interventions • Research and Capacity building: • Knowledge management and sensitization • Modeling and analytical skills in rain water management, hydrology and sediment logy in model watershed • Incorporate groundwater resources studs • Improving quality and access of data in social, bio-physical … • Research on defining BMP’s of SWC at different classes of hillslop continuum • Watersheds system dynamics modeling and scenarios analysis for development planning and applications (water as a central point and consideration of different sectors: ex Livestock development)
Project Interventions • Policy and advocacy for RWM • River basin planning and Implementations capacity building • Institutional set up evaluation and capacity building for effective RWM planning and implementation
Approach • Use of model watersheds • For example start with six community watershed • 3 existing • 3 new • Community based research and development practice on soil and water conservation • Consider researches in a way to fill the gaps between science and application • Innovative approach • Indigenous knowledge management • Enhance partnership with different institutions
Beneficiaries • Government • Researchers • University • Line experts Main activities • Research and development work in pilot watershed, • Training • Material and logistics supply for hydro met and sediment logy • Evaluation of systems reliability in institutions duty and responsibility • Policy analysis
Outcomes • Improved the technical capacity of researchers, planners and implementers • New methodologies of hydrology and sediment logy evaluation and management practices developed and used for real world application • Integration and clear delineation among institutions in water sector are identified and approved
M &E and learning • Participatory M & E • Learning: Skill transfer and knowledge management on best practices Communication • Publications • Report • Workshops • Media for policy advocacy
Stakeholders coordination • Facilitation of MoU among different actors in IWRM • Develop task Force and Application of exiting platforms, such as ABA, SLMP Budget allocation • Capacity building 30 % • Research and administration 50% • Stockholders consultation 20% • To be implemented in three years project duration
