  1. Institutional Arrangements Water Supply and Sanitation

  2. (Public) Institutions are organizations or establishments founded for a specific public interest based on and including a set of working rules, customs or standards originating from an established law or relationship in a society or community(Correct definitions tend to be vague!)

  3. Examples of institutions • Organizations • Working rules • Customs, norms • Procedures • Frameworks • Legal • Policy (?) • Laws? • Groups of people (?)

  4. Capacity building • Institutional development • Development of organizations • Community participation • Participation of stakeholders in decision making • Participation of women in decision making • Institutional capacities and strengths • Institutional environment creation • Legal and institutional frameworks • Procedures and working rules etc. • Human resources development • Development of networks for information and knowledge exchange

  5. Institutional Arrangements Organizations

  6. General Government State, province, district Corporatisation Para-statal Functional River basin authority Watershed authority Aquifer authority Organizational options for decentralization of public management • Community organization • Irrigation committee • Water users association • Town water council • NGOs • Private sector • Concession, lease, management contract, BOT

  7. Characterization organizations for public management • Governmental • Territorial or functional (or both) • National or decentralized • Autonomous, de-concentrated, delegated mandate • Non-governmental • Delegated private (concession, lease) • Private (foundation, association) • Quasi non-governmental (relatively government dependent) • Delegated public • Special and supporting services (semi-autonomous) • Intermediate or semi-public • Special law or regulation • Body corporates for devolved public management • Para-statal, authorities, corporation (semi-autonomous) • Community organizations, water boards (autonomous)

  8. Criteria for autonomy • Autonomous decision making process • (legal criteria: authority not belonging to another body or person) • Nomination/election of professional key-personnel • Ownership of assets • System of shareholding • Independent financing • Freedom of budgeting

  11. Institutional Arrangements Global Policies for Water Supply and Sanitation

  12. Millennium Development Goals(World Summit on Sustainable Development Johannesburg 2002) • Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger • Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education • Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women • Goal 4: Reduce child mortality • Goal 5: Improve maternal health • Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases • Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability • Goal 8: Develop a Global Partnership for Development

  13. Goal 7: Millennium Development Goals: Ensure Environmental Sustainability Target 9Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programmes and reverse the loss of environmental resources Target 10Halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation Target 11By 2020, to have achieved a significant improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers

  14. Distribution 1.1 billion people without adequate access to water supply 2.4 billion people without adequate access to sanitation services

  15. Goal 8: Develop a Global Partnership for Development [..] Target 12Develop further an open, rule-based, predictable, non-discriminatory trading and financial system [Includes a commitment to good governance, development, and poverty reduction – both nationally and internationally] [..] Target 18In co-operation with the private sector, make available the benefits of new technologies, especially information and communications

  16. Public Private Partnerships • A Public Private Partnership (PPP) is a co-operation between different actors, usually one from the private and one from the public sector, who work together to promote a common interest, using the complementarities of the partners and their special qualities • A Public Private Community Partnership PPCP is a PPP, where the partners also involve the local community or where one of the partners is the community!

  17. Institutional Arrangements Institutional Development

  18. Institutional Arrangements Human Resources Development

  19. Core ActivitiesFocus on Human Resources & Institutional Development

  20. Human Resources Capacity Building Target Groups

  21. Stakeholders • Decision makers water sector(s) • Experts sectors • Scientists • TER experts • Trainers • NGO representatives • Users • Society at large • Etc.

  22. Training and other needs • Awareness on issues • Human capacity • Educational programmes • Curricula • Organizational capacities • Didactical methods and tools • Practical instruments • Financial means

  23. Target audience • Decision makers, diplomats • Experts • Trainers • Technicians • Students • Females (gender oriented) • Private sector • Water users

  24. Institutional arrangements • Network organization for training, education and applied research institutions • Training, education and applied research is integrated in subject and organization • Regulations for functioning • e.g. validation, accreditation and audit functions • International Network Board (focal partners) • Expert panel (Academic Board) • Modular system organization • integrated training, education and applied research • regional differentiation (accredited)

  25. Network activities • Network building • Staff development • Short courses • MSc programme • PhD programme • Curriculum development • System of core, specialised and elective modules • Regional differentiation • Validation and accreditation programme • Applied research • PhD programme • Research Fund: specific short assignments (post-doc) • Nodal strengthening • ICT • Laboratories

  26. Supporting Global Connectivity for Change

  27. Educational Products • Appreciation courses / workshops / seminars • Short courses • Tailor made • Modules • E-Learning / Distance learning • Degree / diploma courses • Modular Masters • Partial Certificates (modules) • Distance Learning Certificate • Research • Post-doc • PhD • Etc.

  28. Didactical methods/tools • Modular system/short courses • Lectures • Case studies • Role plays • Simulation games • E-learning • Distance learning • GDLN Centres • Combinations

  29. Other tools • Buildings • Office equipment • Laboratories of all kind • Computers • ICT networks • Software/web sites • Teleconferencing • Others (many)

  30. Modular system characteristics • One comprehensive theme (short course) • About three weeks duration (60 contact hrs) • Credit point system • Subdivision in core, specialisation and elective modules possible • Specialisation in e.g. (water) management, science, engineering, hydrology, water supply • Regional differentiation possible • Exchange, accumulation is possible • Joint degrees • MSc degree in IWRM with specialisation x

  31. International Masters of Science Master Degree programmes Specializations Water Management Water Resources Management Water Services Management Water Quality Management Water Conflict Management Environmental Science and Technology Environmental Planning and Management Limnology and Wetland Ecosystems Water Quality Management Environmental Science Municipal Water and Infrastructure Water Supply Engineering Sanitary Engineering Integrated Urban Management Hydraulic Engineering- Coastal Engineering and Port Development Hydraulic Engineering- Land and Water Development Hydraulic Engineering and River Basin Development Hydro-informatics Hydrology and Water Resources Water Science and Engineering

  32. Summary of approach • Problems and issues in the water sector are identified by the relevant stakeholders: decision makers, experts, trainers, water users, private sector • Problems and issues are structured in to educational subjects and themes (new issues should be explored through research) • Subjects and themes are organized in to modules with the format of short courses of 3 weeks duration • A postgraduate MSc programme is composed of a number of accredited modules (plus individual thesis) • The modular system can be composed of core modules, specialised modules and a pool of elective modules.
