9. Sequencing and prioritizing options can be complex...But credibility lay on actions on the ground.

10. Turning the challenges to opportunities: Exploring the options Option 1: Are there low hanging fruits? Engage earlier in rehabilitation of strategic infrastructure that yield benefits and provide opportunities for further regional developments Mount Coffee Hydro Plant Towers but no conductors Kainji Hydro plant

11. Turning the Challenges to Opportunities: Exploring the Options Option 2:Engage on new infrastructure, ready to be launched as catalyst for quick payoffs and plan smoothly bigger ones. Both processes could be accompanied by Institutional reforms and strengthening. Gouina Hydropower site Félou hydropower site West Kosi Hydropower site

12. Turning the Challenges to Opportunities: Exploring the Options Option 3: Support on-going feasibility studies and then invest on best options (e.g. Indus River Basin) DIAMER BASHA DAM MUNDA DAM AKHORI DAM KURRAM TANGI DAM

14. Four main challenges associated with multipurpose development • Technical challenges could be broad but rarely stop project implementation; • Institutional challenges vary within a large spectrum of cases (e.g. up to trans-boundary issues); • Environmental and Social challenges associated with safeguards and Benefits sharing are among the most controversial and often stale multipurpose projects; • Financial challenges arising from various sources (e.g. cost overrun) Overlap of these challenges, is the main obstacle for multipurpose in developing countries.

17. Well articulated, Multipurpose development can bring Benefits to Nation (s) and the Communities Forest Lifecycle Community Power Royalties 1. Watershed Management (soil & water mgt, agric. productivity) ROR-1 2. Community Basic Services (e.g. water supply, electricity) Storage ROR-1 3. Irrigation ROR-1 4. Fisheries 5. Flood Control ROR-1 • 6. Other Benefits: • Economic Multipliers • Reducing hydrologic risks • Regional cooperation

18. Exploring multipurpose development: Basin perspective • Opportunities: • Choice of the most suitable sites; • Optimize water resources in a cascade approach; • Define benefit sharing in a broader and multi-sectors context; • Ensure synergies of actions on the ground; • Bring riparian together and minimize trans-boundary tensions; • Design reservoirs in a more sound manner (length vs width)….

19. Niger River Basin • Niger Basin at glance • Basin Organization: • Niger Basin Authority. • Creation: 1963 • Recent Legal agreement: • NBA convention 1980 • Riparian countries: • Benin, Burkina Faso, • Cameroon, Chad, • Cote d’Ivoire, Guinea, • Mali, Niger & Nigeria • Active area: 1.5M km2 • Population: 100 million • Water flows: • River length: 4200 km • Maxi: 200 km3 / year • Mini: 0 at Niamey (1985)

20. Senegal River Basin • Senegal Basin at glance • Basin Organization: • OMVS. • Creation: March 11, 1972 • Recent Legal agreement: • Inclusive Framework (2005) • Riparian countries: • Guinea, Mali, Mauritania • & Senegal. • Active area: 380,000 km2 • Population: ±13 million. • Water Resources: • -River length: 1800 km • -Maxi: 30 km3 /year • -Mini: 0.1Million

21. Addressing the Institutional Framework is Critical • Niger Basin: overall reform of the Niger Basin Authority (NBA); • Framework between the regional, the national and the local levels (through consultations and planning) defined; • Senegal River Basin: Inclusion of Guinea within OMVS framework; • Senegal River Basin: OMVS institutional chart revised to include the three levels (regional, national and local);

22. Getting the institution right: OMVS organogram OMVS Mali OMVS Mauritania OMVS Senegal Summit of Heads of State Council of Ministers Regional level OMVS High Commission Consultative Organs (Planning, Consultation & Regulation) OMVS Guinea National Cells Local Coordination Committees 07 LCCs 14 LCCs 08 LCCs 09 LCCs

23. Ensure timely consultations and communications with stakeholders on specifics • Niger River Basin: FadaNgurma Forum is the civil society consultative framework for the basin development issues; • Senegal River Basin: NGO’s union (CODESEN and CONGAD) are the key interlocutors; • Senegal River Basin: Local Coordination Committees representatives participate in OMVS Permanent Water Commission (PWC); • Ensuring that linkages between the regional, the national and local are also translated into actions on the ground.

24. Consultations of stakeholders and trainings on development issues

25. Ensure that Environmental and Social issues are properly addressed: From safeguards compliance to grassroots benefits and ownership: • Identify at an early stage the benefits at stakes and include them in the design; • Integrate benefit packages as appropriate (e.g. irrigation and rural electrification); • Build ownership and foster inclusion as they are critical for success. • Provide benefits to stakeholders and communicate on results with links to the multipurpose infrastructure;

26. Ensuring Benefits Sharing: Rural Electrification based on existing transmission lines

27. Ensuring Benefits Sharing: Irrigation development in the Senegal Valley

30. Ensuring Benefits Sharing: Reduction of Water Borne Diseases (Malaria & Bilharzia)

31. Scaling up cooperative benefits from multipurpose: The results Cooperative Benefits generated in Senegal Basin MWRD –OMVS program (US$ 310 million): • 3 million LLINs to mitigate malaria effects from the dams;Praziquantel to children against Bilharzia; • Navigation over 900 km; • Rural electrification along the 1500 km power transmission; • Construction of intakes and rehabilitation of pumping stations (55, 000 ha irrigation) • Watershed management in Guinea; • Local level empowerment with NGOs; • Feasibility studies of 4 dams. From local to Regional Cooperative Benefits generated in Niger Basin WRDSEM (US$ 500 million): • Institutional reform & strengthening of NBA & its national cells. • Rehabilitation of Kainji & Jebba HEP 2000MW – connection to Niger &Benin ; • Feasibility studies of 4 dams (ML, GN, NGR, CMR); • Watershed management in Guinea and erosion control in Niger; • Irrigation (34,000ha in Mali, Niger and Benin); • Development of fisheries in Mali. • Stakeholders empowerment through FadaNgurma Forum. From Regional to local

35. Maintain leadership focus: Successful Multipurpose is Good Water Resources Management which is also Good Politics

36. In conclusion With climate change impacts, multipurpose infrastructure through basin approach can respond to water storage, reduce variability ands optimize various needs (Energy?) through a cascade design; Multipurpose infrastructure can provides multiples benefits to nation (s) and stakeholders (win/win); Basin organizations provide the tools (institutional and legal); Shift ways of doing business based on the infrastructure legacy and basin context; Project not always gratefully received – understand what is at stake and communicate; Action speaks louder than words – What is good for populationis good for politicians ….. good for financing partners; That, at least, is the theory! ….But move it to practice.
