Regional Water PortfoliosAfrican countries are now, more than ever, forging ahead with determination in confronting issues of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and meeting the targets of the

Millennium DevelopmentGoals(MDGs),bothatnationalandsubregionalIevels,andalsothrough partnerships

at the international level, by placing water and sanitation at the centre oftheir strategies for socio-economic

develop ment-Thiswas demonstrated duringthe Pan-African Implementation and Partnership Conference on

Water, convened by the African Ministers* Council on Water (AMCOW) and the UN-Water/Africa which was heldat UNCC inAddis Ababa, Ethiopiafrom December 8-13,2003-TheConferenceattractedover 1000 delegates and 45 Ministers in charge ofwater, environment and housing. The participants included national delegates, key stakeholders, intergovernmental organizations, cooperation development partners and non

governmental organizations (NGOs).

the implication ofthe outcomes oftheWSSD on regional water initiatives and setting up a concrete agenda in implementingthe targetsoftheAfricaWaterVisionandtheMDGs,withspeciaIemphasisonwatersupplyand

sanitation and the strategic application of IWRM (USD, 2003).

The Conference endorsed a portfolio ofkey water initiatives submitted by each ofthe five sub regions, i.e.

southernAfrica, CentralAfrica, easternAfrica, North Africa and westernAfrica. This is the first consolidated portfolio ofprioritywater initiatives from the sub regional to regional levels and provides a stronger basis for supporting the NEPAD objectives (PANAFCON, 2003a).

Sub Regional Project Portfolios

The sub regional priorityprojects were evolved on concrete water resources issues pertinent to the prevailing climatic conditions andthestatusofwaterresources development. Themostimportantpartoftheprocesswas the patronage ofAMCOW, both at sub regional and regional levels. The specifics ofthese processes are given

below (PANAFCON, 2003b).

Southern African Sub Region

The sub regional programme referred to as the Regional StrategicAction Plan for IntegratedWater Resources

ManagementandDeveIopment-(RSAP/IWRMD),wasdeveIopedthroughahighlyconsultativeprocessthat

enjoyed the inputs ofall member Sstates in its design, formulation and adoption, and largely belong to the SouthemAfricanDevelopmentCommunity(SADC)members.TheProgrammecomprisesover32intervention areas addressing 6 strategic priorities in the sub regional water sector. This framework for action is based on extensive analysis and reviewofconstraintswithinthe region and identification oflogical actions to overcome

theseconstraints.Theseactionswereorganizedintoasystematiccollectionofstrategicobjectivesandassociated intermediateobjectivesthatrelatedirectlytothemajortypesofconstraintsidentified.Thisframeworkprovided acourseofactionthatcanbeimplementedbasedonfuturedecisionsanddirectionsfromrepresentadvesofthe

SADC member States, knowing that a full technical analysis has been used as its foundation.

(6)

The sub regional programme was developed under the following seven strategic objectives:

• Improve the legal and regulatory framework at the national and regional level;

• Improve national and transboundary river basin management, planning and coordination;

• Strengthen linkages among macro-economic, social and environmental policies;

• Improve information acquisition, management and dissemination;

• Support awareness building, education and training;

• Promote public participation; and

• Invest in infrastructure.

The projects were classified into six groups, as below, in line with their thematic relationships in orde> to

enhance synergies that can be gained for closer implementation:

• Legislation, Policy and Strategic Planning

• Capacity Building and Training

• Awareness Creation, Consultation and Public Participation

• Information Collection, Analysis, Management and Dissemination ,

• Infrastructure Investment

• Stand Alone (Special Priority Areas) I

The projects are largely envisaged as soft infrastructure, meant to create an enabling environment in th< sub region to facilitate further development ofreal hard infrastructure projects. The total estimated cost o Fthe Programme is $ US 138,276,000,21 % ofwhich has been secured (about $ US 28,372,855); the financing

gap therefore is $ US 109,903,145. |

West African Sub Region

The approach pursued by theWestAfrican sub region was directed at creating an action plan for Integrated

Water Resources Management, code-namedWARAP-IWRM. The projects under the action plan were agreed uponthrough national andsub regional conferences on IWRM. Some ofthe priorityareas identified include:

(a) Implement a process of IWRM based on National Water Plans in each country ofthe sub regions

(b) Create aframework for regional cooperation on IWRM, for harmonization ofpolicies and legislation on

(7)

• Capacity building;

• Regional coordination of IWRM and WARAP;

• Create or revisit the concerted framework for Riparian countries for joint management ofshared water

basins;

• Finance the water sector.

The total cost ofthe identifiedprojects amounts to about$ US 24 million and the projects are envisaged to last

from one to three years.

East African Sub Region

The process ofidentifying portfolio projects in the EastAfrican sub region was carried out under the auspices and direction of the AMCOW-EA Technical Committee, while the responsibility for national reports was shared by appointed national focal persons in each of the countries.

Each country prepared the following:

• NationalReportontheImplementationofChapterl8(Agenda21andotherWSSDwatergoalsandMDG

targets).

• Portfolio ofwater-related projects/programmes for inclusion in the East African sub region portfolio.

The AMCOW-EA Secretariat was mandated to synthesize the above National Reports into AMCOW- EA Sub Regional Reports and Portfolio of Projects to be presented to AMCOW under the following

recommendations:

• There should be a good mix ofprojects addressing all key areas, i.e. Water Supply and Sanitation, Water

Resources Management, Water for Production.

• There should be a clear linkage between the MDGs, WSSD targets and National Strategies to ensure

consistency.

• Project scopes should be broadened to capture cross-cutting issues, which may otherwise be missed, e.g. projects on groundwater and surface water mapping should also include aspects ofwater resources assessment and valuation and development of management tools as stipulated in the MDGs.

• Emphasis should also be given to projects on water for production as this directly relates to food security, rural industrialization, increased exports and poverty eradication.

• Care should be taken to avoid "stand-alone projects". The projects prepared should be linked to ongoing projects and programmes and should be viewed as filling existing gaps rather than being portrayed as completely new initiatives.

• Efforts should be made to capture the transboundary aspects in all the proposed projects to bring in some regional dimension since AWCOW is a regional initiative.

• Countries should avoid the temptation of coming up with long lists of projects and should instead concentrate on a few (maximum 5) but comprehensive projects.

The final portfolio of 14 projects was proposed by four countries: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, and

Sudan. The total financial requirement for the fourteen projects is estimated to be $ US 2,661,650,000.

(8)

Central African Sub Region

The Central African AMCOW presided over the process of creating an action plan by identifying priority projects in the sub region as a response to the WSSD and to meet the targets set out under the MDGs.

The objective of the action plan is to improve the socio-economic situation in the sub region through

improved water resources management.

The portfolio projects under the action plan were formulated under the following specific objectives or

strategies:

• Managing water resources in a responsible manner and with wisdom;

• Mitigating water-related disasters and risks;

• Creating an appropriate framework for the management, development and operation ofwater resources

systems;

• Improving hydrological information management;

• Improving the access to appropriate water supply and sanitation services; and

• Developing the necessary infrastructure to valorise water resources.

The portfolio of projects consists of 34 projects distributed among the countries of the sub region wWh a

financial requirement of about $ US 5.8 billion.

North African Sub Region

regional basis.

African regional synthesis of portfolio projects

The sub regional portfolio projects for the implementation of the African Water Vision, the WSSD and the MDG targets, harmonized with respect to the strategic application of IWRM and to the challenge areas would give a regional framework for Africa as a whole. The priority projects have therefore been distributed alongside the various programme areas with their estimated costs and the financial needs, as shown in Table 1. From the Table it can be seen that the emphasis on challenges varies among the sub regions and the financial needs are high, with only the southern sub region indicating amounts of financial resources already mobilized, and to a lesser extent, the East African sub region. The process of harmonization and prioritization ofthe sub regional projects into an African regional portfolio project is yet to be effectuated under the auspices ofAMCOW. It is only when this stage is complete that AMCOW

can use its offices to mobilize funds from donors and partners to cover the envisaged funding gaps.

Prospects for implementation

The Conference forged new partnerships on water in Africa in the context ofwhich a number ofsignificant

initiatives were launched, including the following (PANAFCON, 2003a):

(a) The signing ofthe joint declaration by the Chair ofAMCOW and Director General for Cooperation of theEuropeanCommissionontheimplementationoftheAfrican-EuropeanUnionStrategicPartnershipon

Water Affairs and Sanitation.

(b) The African Water Facility, with a targeted funding ofover $ US 600 million for medium-term projects

on water and sanitation. The Ministers appealed for the support of the development partners for the

enlargement ofthe resources. The African Development Bank will manage the facility under the policy direction of the Ministers on the AMCOW Executive Committee.

(c) The Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Initiative supported by the ADB.

(d) TheWaterandSanitationforAfricanCities(PhaseII),withinitialsubstantialfundingfromtheGovernment ofCanada. The Ministers appealed for expanded support from other development partners for the newly

established UN-HABITAT Trust Fund.

(e) The G8 Action Plan onWater forAfrica, within the framework ofwhich an understanding was reached, that supportwill be extended to a number ofriver and lake basin managementplans. The Ministers noted withgratitudethecommitmentoftheEUtocontinuesupportforIntegratedWaterResourcesManagement

in Africa.

(f) TheAfricanWaterJournal was launched to provide an outlet to consolidate and disseminate knowledge, enhancecapacityofprofessionalsandpractltionersandfacilitatethedocumentationandsharingofAfrican

experiences. Ministers called for financial support for sustaining and expanding the publication.

Creation of the Congo River Basin Organization

The Congo River Basin endowed with tremendous potentials for economic and physical development. These potentials can only be tapped within the context of a formal purpose-built economic development framework, which is the Congo River Basin Organization. The creation of the CRBO is therefore a necessary and unavoidable step in the process of rational management of the resources of the Congo River Basin.

The objective of this project is to define that institutional framework, to get the basic documents adopted and launch the activities of the CRBO.

Project Establishment of a Regional Hydrological Observatory

Main Objective

The sub regional hydrological observatory should be seen as a reference meta-base at sub regional level. The organ shall have the responsibility of

harmonizing the hydrological and meteorological data collection processes.

These data shall be transmitted for storage and exchange to the various categories of users. The organization of data collection systems at national levels would require the introduction of installations required for the

monitoring of the fluctuations of parameters, for the recording of extreme manifestations and for the adoption of preventive measures. This type of institution is currently operating at the level of the World Meteorological Organization (WMM). However, the mechanism has not been totally understood; that would require the use of well- grounded experts at the .

Promotion of Market Gardening ,

Urban centres in Central Africa have been witnessing very rapid expansion, which, unfortunately is not supported by physical facilities for agricultural development. Private operators and small-scale farmers have settled in the sub-urban areas to carry out market gardening activities. This activity could be even better organized through a large-scale programme of promotion of

market gardening around the major cities in Central Africa.

This would provide a vehicle for the reinsertion of jobless youths in economic activities by offering them opportunities for income generating

activities, while providing for a better management of the lands around the

cities and a reliable supply of market gardening products..

Regional Information Seminar on the Challenges of Inter-basin Water Transfer

The issue of inter-basin water transfer in Central Africa is still the order of the day. The Palambo dam project on the Oubangui river with water conveyance from that collecting point toward Lake Chad has been under consideration for at least ten years. Opposing views have been expressed over this issue; meetings were organized within the framework of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC) bringing together Chad, Nigeria,

Cameroon, Central African Republic, The Sudan, and Niger. There were, on

the other hand, consultations between riparian countries of the Oubangui river (Congo Brazzaville and Democratic Republic of Congo). The need to reconcile views on this thorny issue requires that experts, particularly from our sub region, representatives of the international organizations in our region, be involved in a regional information seminar. This seminar updates the situation report, highlight the merits and demerits of such a water transfer and enlighten policy makers on the whole issue.

Feasibility study of the project Mobilization of financial resources Organization of the seminar

Conclusions of the seminar on the challenges of inter-basin water transfer shall be made available to decision-makers
