SUMMARY

1. The purpose of the Water Partnership Program (WPP) is “to promote effective water

management policies and practices, at regional and country levels, and to operationalize the

Bank‟s Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) Policy in the RMCs”. The Water

Partnership Program (WPP) was established in 2002 with an agreement between the Bank

and the Netherlands Government. The Canadian and Danish governments joined in March

2006.

2. Since its establishment, the WPP has been providing the AfDB with an opportunity to

enhance its knowledge and learning in the water sector, which has better enabled the Bank to

play a key role in promoting dialogue with key regional actors on critical water sector issues

such as water security and meeting the MDGs. Out of the 32 activities listed for

implementation in 2010 3 activities were cancelled and fourteen (14) activities were closed

and the remaining fifteen (15) activities are carried over to 2011. These activities are at

different stages of implementation six (6) activities were substantially completed and four (4)

other activities had good progress. However there were two (2) activities with slow progress

and three (3) activities at commencement stage. As of the end of December 2010 a total of

sixty (60) activities valued at €8.9 million have been funded, with 46 of them completed and

fifteen (15) under implementation. The main achievements resulting from the activities are

highlighted below.

Cumulative Achievements to End of 2009

3. The main achievements attained since inception up to the end of 2009 are:

i) IWRM Outreach and Knowledge Sharing: A series of activities in North, Eastern

and Southern Africa to promote IWRM awareness and enhance knowledge sharing

between countries and institutions on best practices has been supported by the

program, in collaboration with the Global Water Partnership. The WPP has facilitated

the advancement of key sector issues, including supporting Bank led preparation of an

operational strategy and action plan to implement political commitments on water

security and sanitation, which was endorsed by AMCOW in October 2009. The WPP

has been instrumental in facilitating Bank outreach and partnership efforts, as

evidenced by support to the preparation for the AU Heads of States Summit on water

and sanitation in Sharm-El Sheikh, the First and Second Africa Water Weeks, the 4th

and 5th

World Water Forums, the African Sanitation conference, and the Stockholm

Water Weeks; and promotion of dialogue on key sector issues between the AfDB and

various international/regional bodies.

ii) Enhanced Bank Operational Capacity: The program was instrumental in the

establishment of important special initiatives at the Bank including the Rural Water

Supply and Sanitation Initiative (RWSSI), the African Water Facility (AWF), and

support to activities of the ClimDev Programme - which are mainstreaming IWRM

and climate risk management processes in Bank operations, and making significant

contributions to enable Africa to meet its Millennium Development Goals.

iii) Increased Awareness and Adoption of Best Practices: The program has

supported the preparation of a number of key regional studies and reviews including

an agricultural water use study, a water sector governance study, the credit rating of


2

African water utilities undertaken jointly with the WSP/PPIAF, a joint review of the

Sanitation and Hygiene Status in 32 countries carried out with the World Bank/WSP,

and the African Regional Documents for the Fourth and Fifth World Water Forums.

It has also supported development of guidelines related to water user fees and cost

recovery, rainwater harvesting, school water supply and sanitation, water and poverty,

and management of wetlands; and sponsored activities aimed at sensitizing Bank staff

on innovative water and sanitation technologies, such as use of photovoltaic pumping

in rural water systems.

iv) Strengthened Information and Data Management: The WWP has been

supporting Bank efforts to manage water information effectively to enhance decision

making and improve operational effectiveness. A situation analysis of the water

information systems in the Bank has been undertaken. As well, a communication

approach and dissemination plan has been developed to strengthen sharing of water

sector information and knowledge.

Key Achievements in 2010

4. The major achievements in 2010 are:

i) Assessment of the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Initiative - 2003-2009: A

report entitled “An Assessment of the RWSSI 2003-2009” that reports on lessons

learned to improve the approach to implementation of the initiative was prepared. The

report is a self-assessment and presents the achievements, key lessons learnt, the

challenges encountered, additional resources required and charts the way forward for

achieving the objectives of enhanced RWSSI implementation. In addition to serving

as a valuable knowledge product for OWAS, it will also serve as an input to the

organization of the 2nd

RWSSI conference to mobilise international support and

resources to accelerate the attainment of the MDGs in rural areas.

ii) Preparation of Country Status Overviews (CSOs): An Assessment of the

water sector in 32 countries was undertaken in collaboration with the WSP-World

Bank, UNICEF and WHO and the Bank resulting in 32 CSO reports. Through WPP

funding, the Bank undertook 4 of the 32 assessments. After consultations in country

and regional workshops the 32 Draft CSO Reports were discussed during a peer-to-

peer side event at the Third Africa Water Week. A leading participant from UNEP

commented that such a frank discussion among countries was a milestone, which was

unimaginable five years earlier.

iii) Scale up Agricultural Water Development: Support was provided to establish

a partnership called Agricultural Water Management in Africa (AgWA) among the

main actors in agricultural water management in Africa. AgWA was formed in March

2010 and its 2010-2011 work plan formulated. This is expected to contribute to

improving the mainstreaming of IWRM principles and practices and food security in

Africa.

iv) Support to Regional Dialogue on Water Security Issues: As a follow up to the

outcomes of the 5th

World Water Forum and the 2nd

African Water Week a

Background Paper on Financing Water Security for Economic Growth in Africa was

prepared. The paper supports the water finance dialogue on broad strategies to link

water and economic growth and poverty reduction through the financing of water

infrastructure in Africa.


3

v) WPP Medium-Term Approach (2010-2012): To support implementation of the

WPP, a draft Medium Term Approach Paper was prepared through a consultative

process involving Bank staff, the WPP Technical Working Group. The Approach

Paper took into account the various recommendations made from independent

evaluations, feedback from stakeholders and Bank partners with respect to addressing

contemporary sector development challenges and strengthening Bank‟s capacity to

engage effectively. The Approach Paper will be reviewed and updated in 2011 and

submitted to WPP Steering Committee for approval.

vi) Publication and Dissemination of WPP Products: The WPP products listed below

were published and disseminated during the 3rd African Water Week.

Water Sector Governance in Africa (Vol. 1): Theory and Practice

Water Sector Governance in Africa ( Vol. 2): Assessment and Guidelines

Guidelines for User Fees and Cost Recovery for Urban Networked Water and

Sanitation Delivery

Guidelines for User Fees and Cost Recovery for Rural Networked Water and

Sanitation Delivery;

Technical Summary of 2nd African Water Week.

vii) Launching of studies: Preparatory works for the launching of three studies

were undertaken. Contracts are expected to be signed in the first quarter 2011.

viii) Production of RWSSI films: Films on RWSS in 6 countries were produced and were

shown at the 3rd

African Water Week.

Challenges and Recommended Actions

7. Challenges faced by WPP are below and further discussed in Table 5.1.

i) Timely Utilization of Available Fund: At the end of the reporting period there

was an undisbursed amount of €3,051,706. The WPP need to prudently utilise these

funds on time and the portfolio review ought to be undertaken more frequently to

identify non-performing activities so as to take timely remedial action.

ii) Accelerating Implementation: The slow pace of implementation of WPP

activities has been recognised as a significant concern. OWAS to liaise with user

Departments and provide additional support to accelerate implementation and OWAS

to ensure long term support through assignment of a full-time staff and engagement of

a long term consultant is essential

iii) WPP Steering Committee Meeting: Due to various reasons the WPP Steering

committee which is composed of the Donors and the Bank has not met since March

2008. OWAS shall be approaching all donors and Bank management to organise such

a meeting in the near future.

iv) Increasing visibility of the WPP: To effectively carry out its mandate, it is

important that the WPP is well known and recognised both within the Bank and

among its external stakeholders. In order to improve its visibility the Program need to

strengthen the implementation of its communications approach.

v) Securing new funding: Ensuring adequate funding is the main medium term

challenge of the WPP. Two of the existing donors (Netherlands and Canada) have

indicated that they will not be continuing their involvement with the WPP after March


4

2010, and the third donor (Denmark) remains uncommitted. As a result no new funds

are available to support the operations of the WPP after the end of 2010. Bank

commitment to the program in the medium term will go a long way to determine the

intensity and success of the resource mobilization efforts.

vi) Mainstreaming outcomes: The mainstreaming of WPP findings sponsored

activities into Bank policies, and providing the support to enable water sector staff to

make use of WPP products in operational interventions is essential.

vii) Improving knowledge management: The Program has put in place plans to

increase its efforts to serve as an instrument for the Water Department to improve

knowledge management on water issues. In particular, several important studies and

guidelines that will add value to the AfDB‟s work will be widely disseminated both

within and outside the Bank, and the planned water information and data management

system will be established.

WPP 2010 SEMI-ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT

A1 1

1 BACKGROUND

1.1 Introduction

1.1.1 The Bank-Netherlands Water Partnership Program (BNWPP) was established in

December 2002 between the Bank and the Netherlands Government. The BNWPP was

transformed into a Multi-Donor Water Partnership Program (MDWPP) with the participation

of the Canadian and Danish governments in March 2006. The Program is supported by USD

5 million from Netherlands, CAD 5.0 million from Canada and DKK 15 million from

Denmark. The Bank is responsible for the administration, management and co-ordination of

the program and provision of office space and office facilities for the execution of the

Program. Currently the Water and Sanitation Department (OWAS) is responsible for the

management of the WPP,

1.1.2 The goal of the Water Partnership Program (WPP) is “to promote effective Integrated

Water Resources Management (IWRM) policies and practices at regional and country level

and to operationalise the Bank‟s IWRM policy in the RMCs.” The main objectives and

associated program components of the WPP are:

Support to the Bank’s Operations Capacity: Mainstream the IWRM approach in the

Bank‟s water operations; develop new guidelines, checklists and manuals; strengthen

the capacity of Bank staff; and promote gender equality.

IWRM Outreach and Knowledge Sharing: Increase awareness in the region about

water issues and solutions, and the application of IWRM principles and tools.

Support Transfer of Best Practice and Experiences: Promote the transfer of

appropriate technologies to enhance efforts to meet the MDGs and AWV targets, and

to disseminate lessons of innovative water management approaches.

Water Information and Data Management: Development of Bank information

system to incorporate collection, analysis, and dissemination of information on all

aspects of water and sanitation.

1.1.3 In the short term, program activities are expected to achieve the following results:

IWRM mainstreamed in Bank policies, programs and operations;

Bank staff have increased skills and competences in IWRM;

Bank staff have increased access to information and data for strategic planning.

RMCs have increased awareness of IWRM principles and approaches;

Regional and sub-regional partnerships strengthened or established;

Common African strategies for IWRM plans and water development adopted;

Awareness and adoption of best practices in water sector in AfDB and RMCs.

1.1.4 In the long term the Program is expected to result in the following:

strengthening of AfDB water sector programs and policies;

better co-ordination of the Bank‟s new water initiatives/ strategies and activities

enhanced awareness of IWRM principles and approaches to RMCs and stakeholders


A1 2

1.1.5 Strategic directions and implementation arrangements are guided by an overall 3 year

program approved by the WPP Steering Committee and an Annual Implementation Plan, and

Budget approved by the Vice President (OIVP) of the Bank and a detailed activity work plan

for each activity approved by the OWAS director. The program details on the institutional

set-up, roles, responsibilities as well as monitoring and evaluation arrangements are provided

in Annex 1. A 2010-2012 Medium Term Approach, which provides the strategic direction

and focus of the Program in the next three years was finalised in 2010. The approach

represents a continuation of the existing directions and is fully in accordance with the Bank‟s

Medium-Term Strategy. The 2010-2012 Medium Term Approach is yet to be indorsed by the

WPP Steering Committee.

1.1.6 This Annual Progress Report covers the period from 1st January to 31st December

2010 and provides an update on the status of the work program. This report is organized in 5

sections. The first section provides the background to the WPP and describes the main

contents of the report. The second section describes the overview of the WPP 2010

implementation plan and implementation arrangements. Progress made during the

implementing period is presented in section three. This is followed by a financial status

section at the end of the reporting period. Program management and evaluation is presented

in section four. The last section presents the achievements, major implementation issues and

recommendations.

1.2 WPP Strategic Contribution and Results

1.2.1 The WPP has to date served as an important facility for developing Bank capacity in

IWRM issues as well as promoting learning and innovation in a range of water sector issues.

The Strategic thrust of the Program embraces key themes including enhancing the Bank‟s

approach to sanitation and hygiene in RWSS operations, improving the Bank‟s understanding

of water governance issues underpinning sector reforms, use of innovative technologies, such

as solar pumping devices, in RWSS programs and investigating the health and socio-

economic impact from the provision of water supply and sanitation services.

1.2.2 The WPP has played an important role in facilitating the formulation of key water

sector initiatives such as the African Water Facility (AWF) and the Rural Water Supply and

Sanitation Initiative (RWSSI). To date, several studies, guidelines and strategy papers in

diverse areas relevant to the water sector such as agriculture, wetlands, water supply and

sanitation, institutional and policy reforms and financing have been successfully completed,

and are contributing to the pool of knowledge in the Bank. The full list of activities

undertaken is presented in Annex 2.

1.2.3 The WPP is contributing to innovative learning such as the use of Utility Credit

Rating and Access to Market Finance, Earth Observation Information, Water Governance.

The Program has also supported dialogue across the continent including events such as the

Workshop on strengthening IWRM Planning and Implementation for 31 Northern, Eastern

and Southern African Countries. In response to AMCOW‟s request to the AfDB the WPP

supported the preparation of an operational strategy and action plan which responds to

commitments made on Africa‟s water security issues at the AU Heads of States and

Governments Summit in Sharm El Sheikh Egypt and at various other ministerial and high-

level water events. As a follow-up, WPP also supported the preparation of a template for


A1 3

reporting Delivery of Water Security and Sanitation Commitments, Action Plan and

Framework to the African Union‟

1.2.4 The Program has provided support to global events such as the World Summit on

Sustainable Development, the World Water Forum, the Pan-African Implementation and

Partnership Conference on Water, the AfricaSan+5 Conference and the Africa Water Week

events. These events have provided a platform for the exchange of ideas, experiences and

best practices to enrich the knowledge of Bank staff and various stakeholders for the effective

implementation of different regional water initiatives.

2 OVERVIEW OF WPP 2010 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

2.1.1 The 2010 Implementation Plan and Budget was approved on 12th

March 2010 and

included a total of thirty one (31) activities excluding the WPP Program Management

activities. Four new priority activities, amounting to €570,000 were included for

commencement in 2010. In addition, €185,276 was approved for programme management of

ongoing and new activities (mainly consultant‟s services) and the administrative fee (5% of

commitments). One additional activity African Water Week 2010 and 2011 with a budget of

€1124,418 was introduced later in the year bringing the total activities to thirty-two (32).

Besides this, three new activities Facilitating Innovative Approaches for Water Sector Financing,

Capacity Building of Bank Staff in IWRM/TWRM, and Development of Networks with Specialised

Water Institutions and African Water Professionals were conditionally approved subject to the

availability of additional funds, amounting to €330,000.

2.1.2 Some of the important activities which were to have been undertaken during the

reporting period include revision of the Bank‟s IWRM policy, preparation of Bank sanitation

strategy paper, preparation of the CSOs, preparation of management model for rural water

supply, undertaking a study on community management of WSS, Implementation of Water

Information System at AfDB, and support to the formation of partnership among the principal

actors in agricultural water management (AgWA) and others.

2.1.3 Support to regional and global knowledge events and dialogue remains an important

part of the program. This has been done selectively, to ensure maximum impact on Bank

capacity building and knowledge development. A program co-ordinator was designated to

oversee the day-to-day implementation of the Program. Details on the institutional set-up,

roles, responsibilities as well as monitoring and evaluation arrangements are provided in

Annex 1.

3 PROGRESS OVER THE REPORTING PERIOD

3.1 Overview of Status of Implementation

3.1.1 Some key activities completed during the reporting period include the preparation of

the Assessment of the RWSSI over the period from 2003 to 2009, Background Paper on

Financing Water Security for Economic Growth in Africa and the preparation Country Sector

Overview CSOs for four countries.

3.1.2 Prior to the end of 2010, WPP had undertaken a portfolio review of all the 31

activities under implementation. Based on the findings of the review five (5) activities were

cancelled from the portfolio either because they were not performing well or because the

objectives of the activity was being realised through other interventions. At the end of 2010,

out of the remaining twenty six (26) activities twelve (12) were completed, six (6) activities

were substantially completed, four (4) activities had good progress while two (2) activities

were exhibiting slow progress and other three (3) activities were at commencement stage.

5 ACHIEVEMENTS, IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1 ACHIEVEMENTS AND IMPACT

5.1.1 As of the end of December 2010 a total of sixty (60) activities valued at €8.9 million

have been funded, with forty six (46) of them completed and fifteen (15) under

implementation. The impacts, results, outputs of the WPP vis-a vis the indicators and targets


A1 7

set at the outset in the Logical Framework are provided in the table in Annex 6. Some of the

main achievements are highlighted below.

5.2 MAIN IMPACT

5.2.1 The major impact of the WPP operations is its valuable contributions to achievement

of MDG targets related to water in Africa. The WPP was instrumental in the establishment of

the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Initiative (RWSSI), the African Water Facility

(AWF), ClimDev Programme in Africa and Agricultural Water Management in Africa

(AgWA) which are contributing to the improvement of the water supply and sanitation

provision, food security, climate risk management and the mainstreaming of IWRM

principles and practice in Africa.

5.3 CUMULATIVE ACHIEVEMENTS TO END OF 2009

5.3.1 The main achievements attained by the WPP since inception up to the end of 2009

are:

i) IWRM Outreach and knowledge sharing: A series of activities in North, Eastern and

Southern Africa to promote IWRM awareness and enhance knowledge sharing

between countries and institutions on best practices has been supported by the

program, in collaboration with the Global Water Partnership. The WPP has facilitated

the advancement of key sector issues, including supporting Bank led preparation of an

operational strategy and action plan to implement political commitments on water

security and sanitation, which was endorsed by AMCOW in October 2009. The WPP

has been instrumental in facilitating Bank outreach and partnership efforts, as

evidenced by support to the preparation for the AU Heads of States Summit on water

and sanitation in Sharm-El Sheikh, the First and Second Africa Water Weeks, the 4th

and 5th

World Water Forums, the African Water Week series, the African Sanitation

conference, and the Stockholm Water Weeks; and promotion of dialogue on key

sector issues between the AfDB and various international/regional bodies.

ii) Enhanced Bank operational capacity: The program was instrumental in the

establishment of important special initiatives at the Bank including the Rural Water

Supply and Sanitation Initiative (RWSSI), the African Water Facility (AWF), and

support to activities of the ClimDev Programme - which are mainstreaming IWRM

and climate risk management processes in Bank operations, and making significant

contributions to enable Africa to meet its Millennium Development Goals.

iii) Increased awareness and adoption of best practices: The program has supported the

preparation of a number of key regional studies and reviews including an agricultural

water use study, a water sector governance study, a credit rating of African water

utilities undertaken jointly with the WSP/PPIAF, a joint review of the Sanitation and

Hygiene Status in 32 countries carried out with the World Bank/WSP, and the African

Regional Documents for the Fourth and Fifth World Water Forums. It has also

supported development of guidelines related to water user fees and cost recovery,

rainwater harvesting, school water supply and sanitation, water and poverty, and

management of wetlands; and sponsored activities aimed at sensitizing Bank staff on


A1 8

innovative water and sanitation technologies, such as use of photovoltaic pumping in

rural water systems.

iv) Strengthened information and data management: The WWP has been supporting

Bank efforts to manage water information effectively to enhance decision making and

improve operational effectiveness. A situation analysis of the water information

systems in the Bank has been undertaken, leading to the development of a framework

for the implementation of a water information and data management (WIDM) system.

As well, a communication approach and dissemination plan has been developed to

strengthen sharing of water sector information and knowledge.

5.4 KEY ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2010

5.4.1 The major achievements of 2010 are:

i) Assessment of the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Initiative - 2003-2009: A

report entitled “An Assessment of the RWSSI 2003-2009” that reports on lessons

learned to improve the approach to implementation of the initiative was prepared. The

report is a self-assessment and presents the achievements, key lessons learnt, the

challenges encountered, additional resources required and charts the way forward for

achieving the objectives of enhanced RWSSI implementation. In addition to serving

as a valuable knowledge product for OWAS, it will also serve as an input to the

organization of the 2nd

RWSSI conference to mobilise international support and

resources to accelerate the attainment of the MDGs in rural areas.

ii) Preparation of Country Status Overviews (CSOs): An Assessment of the

water sector in 32 countries was undertaken in collaboration with the WSP-World

Bank, UNICEF and WHO and the Bank resulting in 32 CSO reports. Through WPP

funding, the Bank undertook 4 of the 32 assessments. After consultations in country

and regional workshops the 32 Draft CSO Reports were discussed during a peer-to-

peer side event at the Third Africa Water Week.

iii) Scale up Agricultural Water Development: Support was provided to establish

a partnership called Agricultural Water Management in Africa (AgWA) among the

main actors in agricultural water management in Africa. AgWA was formed in March

2010 and its 2010-2011 work plan formulated. This is expected to contribute to

improving the mainstreaming of IWRM principles and practices and food security in

Africa.

iv) Support to Regional Dialogue on Water Security Issues: As a follow up to the

outcomes of the 5th

World Water Forum and the 2nd

African Water Week a

Background Paper on Financing Water Security for Economic Growth in Africa was

prepared. The paper supports the water finance dialogue on broad strategies to link

water and economic growth and poverty reduction through the financing of water

infrastructure in Africa.

v) WPP Medium-Term Approach (2010-2012): To support implementation of the

WPP, a draft Medium Term Approach Paper was prepared through a consultative

process involving Bank staff, the WPP Technical Working Group. The Approach

Paper took into account the various recommendations made from independent

evaluations, feedback from stakeholders and Bank partners with respect to addressing

contemporary sector development challenges and strengthening Bank‟s capacity to


A1 9

engage effectively. The Approach Paper will be reviewed and updated in 2011 and

submitted to WPP Steering Committee for approval.

vi) Publication and Dissemination of WPP Products: The WPP products listed below

were published and disseminated during the 3rd African Water Week.

Water Sector Governance in Africa (Vol. 1): Theory and Practice

Water Sector Governance in Africa ( Vol. 2): Assessment and Guidelines

Guidelines for User Fees and Cost Recovery for Urban Networked Water and

Sanitation Delivery

Guidelines for User Fees and Cost Recovery for Rural Networked Water and

Sanitation Delivery;

Technical Summary of 2nd African Water Week.

vii) Launching of studies: Preparatory works for the launching of studies on 1)

Health and Socio-Economic Impact of WSS Provision, 2) Enhancing PPP in the water

and Sanitation Sector and 3) Development of Bank‟s Urban Water supply and

Sanitation Framework were undertaken. Contracts will be signed in the first quarter

2011.

viii) Production of RWSSI films: Films on RWSS in 6 countries were produced and were

shown at the 3rd

African Water Week.

5.5 ISSUES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

5.5.1 A number of issues and recommendations regarding implementation of the WPP are

discussed below:

Table 5.1: Issues and Recommendations

Issues Actions

i) Timely Utilization of Available Fund

At the end of the reporting period €425,346 has to be

returned to the Netherlands Government since it has not

been used during the agreement period. In addition

€540,000 commitment was not paid into the BNWPP by

the same donor. The amount that could have been used

from the Netherlands is thus €965,346 which is about 10%

of the total program fund. Canada‟s Funding to WPP

ended with the conclusion of the current agreement on 31

March 2010. At the end of December 2010 there was

undisbursed amount of €2,946,462 from the Danish and

Canadian contribution to the MDWPP.

Available funds have to be prudently utilized

immediately. Accordingly, OWAS will

focus on completing ongoing activities and

expediting the commencement of new

activities.

ii) Accelerating Implementation

The slow pace of implementation of WPP activities has

been recognized as a significant concern. As most

activities were in the commencement stage and the WPP

the amount of fund disbursed during the reporting period

was only €206,313.

OWAS to liaise with user Departments and

provide additional support to accelerate

implementation through assignment of a

full-time staff and engagement of a long

term consultant

OWAS promote the increased involvement of

the Field offices in WPP activities as a way

of enhancing delivery.


A1 10

Issues Actions

iii) Convening WPP Steering Committee Meeting

The WPP Steering committee which is composed of the

Donors and the Bank has not taken place since March

2008 due to various reasons.

OWAS to approach all donors and Bank

management to organize such a meeting in

the near future, either in Tunis or

elsewhere.

iv) Enhancing Visibility of WPP

To effectively carry out its mandate, it is important that the

WPP is well known and recognized both within the Bank

and among its external stakeholders. This will need

sustained communications support and a systematic

approach to publishing and dissemination. .

OWAS to provide sustained communications

support to enable the production of

completed studies.

WPP to publish and disseminate more WPP

products in hardcopy and softcopy formats.

v) Securing New Funding

Ensuring adequate funding is the main medium term

challenge of the WPP. Two of the existing donors

(Netherlands and Canada) have indicated that they will not

be continuing their involvement with the WPP after March

2010, and the third donor (Denmark) remains

uncommitted. As a result no new funds are available to

support the operations of the WPP.

OWAS to request Bank to allocate fund to

WPP from surplus accounts

Bank/OWAS to promote support for WPP

among donors

vi) Mainstreaming Outcomes

The mainstreaming of relevant WPP sponsored products

into Bank activities and policies, and providing the support

to enable water sector staff to make use of WPP products

in operational interventions is essential.

WPP to undertake an assessment of

mainstreaming of IWRM in Bank funded

projects and programs during revision of

IWRM policy
