Goal and overall Objective

� To support integration of water security and climate

resilience in development planning and decision making

processes.

� To promote water as a key part of sustainable regional and

national development and contribute to climate change

adaptation for economic growth and human security.

WACDEP REFERENCE GROUP

� African (all sub-regions) and international experts

� Started as Expert Panel guiding Strategic Framework

� Mandate – demand driven to ...

- facilitate dialogue with/across network

- share international experience

- provide advice: technical, institutional

- assure quality

� Operation

- regional/sub-regional meetings

- country/basin missions

GWP is working with the AfDB/ ICA (Infrastructure Consortium for

Africa) to bridge the gap

� project lists (demand)

� getting projects funded (supply)

WP4 INVESTMENT PLANS

� Understanding investments (enabling conditions)

� Investment objectives (outcomes)

� Investment priorities (projects)

� Investment funding (sources)

Page 14: Water, Climate and Development Programme. By Torkil Jønch Clausen.

WP 5: Demonstration Projects - example

In Rwanda and Burundi in the Bugasera Catchment local projects

promoting transboundary cooperation are being implemented

aimed at enhancing community resilience to climate risks by

protecting the catchment area around Lake Cyhoha in both

countries – creating buffer zones and introducing alternative

energy sources

Page 15: Water, Climate and Development Programme. By Torkil Jønch Clausen.

WP 6: Capacity Building • Training 96 planners in the 8 pilot countries with support from

CDKN (3-4 institutions per country)

• 5 workshops over a period of 1 year following the Phases of

the Strategic Framework

• Participants are planners from water related sectors –

identified through a Capacity Needs Assessment carried out

in each country

• Training linked to on-going processes in the participants

home institution

• Senior decision makers (from institutions where the

planners are coming from) also involved in parts of the

training

• Mentoring and coaching in between the 5 workshops

• Trainers are local experts trained at the Pan African level

working with UNDP GEF

Page 16: Water, Climate and Development Programme. By Torkil Jønch Clausen.

WP7: Knowledge Management

AU/ AMCOW Framework is key to the identification and

prioritisation of no/low regret investments and integrate these

into development planning processes

Page 17: Water, Climate and Development Programme. By Torkil Jønch Clausen.

WACDEP Reference Group (RG) Mission

In 2014 WACDEP RG visited the 8 WACDEP countries:

• Facilitating dialogue among the Country Water Partnership(CWP) and exchange ideas and perspectives;

• Sharing of experiences: international and among WACDEPcountries and regions;

• Supporting countries and providing advice on institutional and policy aspects related to the WACDEP implementation;

• Providing technical support to the WACDEP programming

and deliverables;

• Reviewing and supporting the overall quality of key outputs

of the WACDEP.

Page 18: Water, Climate and Development Programme. By Torkil Jønch Clausen.

Analysis, outcomes and recommendations

• Technical support - the teams appreciated the technical

contribution that the WACDEP RG members made in the

discussions with government office and country donors.

• Political visibility – the teams noted that meeting with

WACDEP RG and senior government officials was valuable

and gave the programme a lot of visibility.

• Clarifying the focus on no/low regret – RG members

explained the focus of the WACDEP on no/low regret

investments as a starting point to building climate resilience.

• Investment planning – Some level of difficulty in getting the

work around investment planning has not been

institutionalized and is being done in an ad hoc manner

Page 19: Water, Climate and Development Programme. By Torkil Jønch Clausen.

Analysis, outcomes and recommendations

• Clarifying GWPs role – the discussions with the government

officials helped to clarify GWPs role as a facilitator and also

ensure that support is being provided by GWP.

• Reinforcing the role of the CWP in WACDEP – the role of

the CWPs in the implementation of WACDEP has been

discussed and ensuring sustainability beyond the

implementation of the programme.

• Linking to national development/other sectors'mainstreaming climate resilience'

Page 20: Water, Climate and Development Programme. By Torkil Jønch Clausen.

Lessons from first round of country visits

• More time is needed in getting support on some of the

technical “how” issues and also bringing in experience on

related issues from other countries in the discussion.

• It is important to use the presence of the RG when they visit

countries to engage with senior government officials as this

gives the project visibility and also shows that there is a lot of

investment that is being made to ensure technical backstopping

and support.

• The RG should be used to share lessons and information across the WACDEP countries;• Specific requests (HelpDesk) on technical issues are coming

from the countries to particular RG members → GWPO and the

WACDEP CU find ways of responding to these needs.

WACDEP and the Knowledge Chain:ISSUES TO DISCUSS

� Exchange of experience among WACDEP regions

- Africa

- Asia including link to Asia-Pacific Steering Group of

Water and Climate

- Caribbean

� Role of Reference Group

- Presently for Africa only -> extend to global?

� Role of TEC

- Linkage to RG

- Operationalising the KnowledgeChain for WACDEP
