Three tracks

• Aid

• Trade

• Knowledge

Knowledge exchange: Why an Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)?

• To share practical examples and/or solutions (e.g. Fosvaatje)

• To formalize the natural collaboration between water authorities and track progress

• To create an shared agenda to address important present issues

• To learn from the input of MoU partners and benefiting together from the output

• To reach the Sustainable Development Goals

Blue Deal A partnership between the ministeries of Foreign Affairs and of Infrastructure andWater Management & Dutch Water Authorities

Blue DealHelping 20 million people in 40 catchment areas around the world to gain access to clean, sufficient and safe water. That is the

ambitious goal behind the Blue Deal, the new international programme of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and of Infrastructure

and Water Management and all the Dutch water authorities.

Successes and main barriersSuccesses: Official launch on World Water Day (22 March 2018): all parties committed to the Blue Deal

21 submitted proposals for the programme by 1 November 2018

Main barriers: Defining frameworks, financial game rules

Combining three parties and getting to know each others incentives and speaking each others language

Setting the next step in professionalising the international affairs of Dutch Water Authorities

Ambition for the coming year(s)The Blue Deal programme will be prepared over a period of a year and will start in 2019. It will be implemented in three phases:

2019-2022, 2023-2026, 2027-2030. The Blue Deal is a programme that will grow. The first phase will largely be implemented

through partnerships in which the water authorities already participate. In the years that follow, more and more new partnerships

and projects will be added.

FMO & NWP: DEVELOP AND FINANCE INTERNATIONAL WATER INITIATIVESAart Mulder, Manager, NL Business Department, FMOEwout van Galen, Acting Director, Netherlands Water Partnership15 November 2018

• FMO is the Dutch bilateral development bank that finances businesses, projects and financial institutions in developing and emerging markets, with the aim of supporting sustainable private sector development for long-term impact. FMO’s NL Business Department strives to intensively collaborate with Dutch organisations and focuses on export, investments and catalysing partnerships for shared value.

• In November 2017, FMO and the Netherlands Water Partnership (NWP) engaged in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to intensify collaboration in the initiation and development of bankable water projects in developing countries.

• The aim of the MoU was to accelerate the Water Kickstarter concept, which focuses around financing operational improvement and efficiency in utilities in developing countries and identify opportunities to finance water initiatives that have potential for Dutch Water Sector involvement.

FMO and NWP MoU

Results and Impacts to date• Succesfully engaged with relevant stakeholders on the Water Kickstarter initiative

and actively working in 3 countries with relevant Dutch Water Sector partners.

• Strengthened involvement on the Canal del Dique project in Colombia through joint

engagement and facilitation of NWP.

• Embarked on a joint market analysis to understand better how the Dutch Water

Sector positions itself for international projects and how best to fill in the gaps to

strengthen positioning and have the required financing in place.

• Water is already 36% of the project development pipeline portfolio of FMO’s NL

Business (75 projects), thanks to the joint efforts.

Continuing the Partnership (1/2)• With a global financing gap for water infrastructure of $1.200 billion up to 2030, Finance for Water is of key concern to the water sector,

hence a strategic theme for NWP

• The Netherlands Water Partnership is thé network for Dutch organizations in the water sector with international ambitions. It is the first point of call for anyone seeking Dutch water expertise. NWP’s members include companies, government agencies, knowledge institutions and NGOs with one thing in common - to join forces for sustainable water solutions worldwide.

• After a positive analysis of the first 12 months, today FMO and NWP will sign the extension of the MoU for another 12 months

Continuing the Partnership (2/2)

The ambition for the next 12 months:

• Fill pipeline with more international projects

• Increased focus on matchmaking with the Dutch Water Sector and other financiers

• Continued knowledge creation, documentation and dissemination of successful cases

• Agenda setting and creating an enabling environment for financing international water initiatives

What we agreed, October 2017: Share residuals management in at least 3 countries abroad Create a revolving fund, dedicated to financing new research and innovation

Successes Development of upcycling practice in Germany jointly with

our local partner Ecocalor Development of serious interest in a number of countries,

including AR, DK, FR, UK, US

Main barriers Mindset: sense of urgency, trust, courage Technical: lack of solutions for Aluminium based sludges

Next ambition: Alu Circles Goal: get a proven solution for Aluminium based sludges (potable water plants) Pre-Commercial Procurement process (EAFIB principles) Co-creation by tech-industry, water suppliers and R&I in a multi-stage process Driven by: De Watergroep (BE), AquaMinerals (NL), supported by Allied Waters

and Corvers Procurement Services A further 30 participants (water suppliers) are needed !!
