Key Assumptions Neeranchal Project Duration and Components
Assumptions Around Project Duration • At concept state, assumed a 5 to 7 year implementation period • Recognize that first year is a low disbursement year • Establishing initial capacities in DoLR, states • Completing major procurement of key service providers • Developing partnerships, etc • IWMP will work on a five-year cycle • Perhaps assume six year implementation period • Flexibility is important
Assumptions about Project Components • Currently three main components + project management: 1. Capacity building: • Key national institutions (DoLR, CLNA, NRAA, etc): • Program and policy development, analysis, IWMP delivery, M&E, coordination, etc. • Relevant institutions in all states (SNNA, village, GP, farmers): • Technical skills – watershed management, natural resources management, rural livelihoods, water management, agricultural improvement, climate change adaptation • Program management
Assumptions about Project Components 2. State IWMP Support (similar to new KWDP-II): • Introduction of decision-support models for site selection, etc • Develop digital data bases to support planning • Larger scale watershed assessment/planning • Improved micro-watershed planning, tools • Facilitate program integration, convergence • Community-based monitoring, tools
Assumptions about Project Components 3. Nationwide Innovation Support: • Applied R&D on key thematic areas • Develop tools for advanced hydrological assessment • Demand-driven technology transfer • Improved research planning, coordination, evaluation
Assumptions about Project Components 4. Nationwide Project Implementation Support: • Incremental costs at central and state level institutions • Communications, informatics • Web site development, management • 3rd party M&E, baseline, etc.
Key Points • Components must deliver on the PDO • Components help define project scale • At concept stage, component design is very basic • During preparation, must flesh out sub-components, activities and costs • During implementation, design is fairly flexible within components
