This study, presented by Leif-Egil Lørum, aims to determine the economic value of water across 9 basins in Tanzania, assess financing needs for water resource management, and design financing options for river basins and national level interventions. The presence of both national and external consultants ensures comprehensive analysis, highlighting the value and cost of water resources. Challenges include introducing tariffs for boating, rural water supply, and balancing expertise with client knowledge.

Whyneed for an externalConsultant in 2010? • African and Asian low- and middle-income countries: • Early 1970s: hardly any national WR professionals • Late 1980s: a growing number at BSC level • 2010: A large number of resident national professionals at BSC, MSC and PHD levels • Available funding (i.e. WB) • “We need external fresh eyes with international experience to see and formulate the essential questions”
Challenges • To avoid diving into a IWRM study, especially where there is a water stress, ref. national parks • To introduce a tariff for boatingoninland lakes • To propose a tariff for rural water supplywhichtraditionally has beenfree • To appreciatetheexpertise and vast knowledgeoftheClient
