Africa needs growth and adaptive capacity to cope with rising
temperatures, sea levels, and precipitation uncertainty.

Year
Sea levels will rise…
• Historical Climate variability is high (e.g. temp, precipitation)
• Temperatures and sea levels are expected to rise with
climate change
• Implications on future precipitation and runoff is uncertain
(climate models do not agree for most basins)
Need for Transformative Activities to Scale
The Transformative Program will address development
challenges in Africa through interventions in:
• Irrigation and water use efficiency for agriculture
• Watershed management
• Flood and other disaster risk reduction
• Power production and transmision
• Technical capacity building and knowledge systems
As many of the transformative projects involve water as a
primary resource, they must be developed in a coordinated
manner, so as not to foreclose future development opportunities
or to impact negatively on other development. Hence, the need
for a regional, basin approach.
What is CIWA?
Cooperation of International Waters in Africa
• Supports cooperative management and
development of transboundary river
basins, lakes, and aquifers in Sub-Saharan
Africa with a focus on sustainable,
climate-resilient growth
• Incorporates lessons learned from past
World Bank engagement with clients on
transboundary water issues in the Nile,
Niger, Zambezi, and Senegal river basins
• Retains program flexibility to respond to
demands, needs, and opportunities specific
to the context of client basins
CIWA’s Strategic Positioning
CIWA is strategically positioned to work with regional and
country level organizations to map out strategies that improve
resiliency and promote sustainable growth through
transformative projects.
• Cooperation among riparians and a regional development approach
•
•
•
•
has the potential for a multiplier effect
CIWA’s program flexibility allows for a wide variety of engagements
(analytical work, institutional strengthening, investment)
CIWA enables development partners harmonization in water
management and development in Africa
CIWA’s positioning within the World Bank allows it to build upon a
deep, long-standing partnership with recipient countries
Moreover, CIWA intends to be a “catalyzer” for growth through
provision of “just-in-time”, specific analytical work
Transformative Projects in Africa (1)
Pwalugu Multipurpose Project (Ghana, Burkina Faso, Volta River
Authority – Volta Basin)
•
Generates substantial multi-sector benefits – irrigation, hydropower, fisheries, water
supply, flood control – to meet growing regional economic needs
Lesotho Highlands Water Project – Phase 2 (Lesotho, South Africa)
•
•
•
Affirms Lesotho as the ‘water tower’ of southern Africa
Provides water critical for sustainable growth in South Africa’s water scarce Gauteng
Region; Major source of potential revenue for Lesotho
Possibility to include energy production through pumped storage
Africa Hydromet Program (Africa-wide)
•
•
•
Reduces vulnerability to floods and droughts; improves resilience to climate risks
Improves performance of water infrastructure b(e.g. by providing flow forecasting)
Enhances regional cooperation
Transformative Projects in Africa (2)
Rehabilitation of Lake Chad (Chad, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon – Niger
Basin)
•
•
Potential to imapct 22 million people in region that depend on Lake Chad’s resources
Rapidly diminishing Lake Chad (10% of size 40 years ago – 2,500 of 25,000km2) is
situated in a strategic geographic area
Kenya Water Security and Climate Resilience Project (Kenya – Nile
Basin)
•
•
Improves economic livelihoods and reduces migration and social conflict
Improves quality of investment planning, preparation, and decision-making for water
security and climate resilience – so that Government of Kenya pursues the most
transformational new projects
Nile Equatorial Lakes Water Resource Development (Burundi,
Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda)
•
•
Provides irrigation, hydropower, water access, land management to impoverished
areas
Targets watersheds of regional significance in the Nile; develops in sustainable
manner
Supporting Cooperation through Investments in
Development
Rusumo Falls Hydroelectric Project
• 80MW run of the river hydropower plant on the Kagera River
on the Tanzania-Rwanda border
• Flagship project for the Nile Basin – first of regional investment
projects prepared under NBTF
• Total US$430M: 340M IDA, 90M AfDB
• Transmission lines to Rwanda, Tanzania, Burundi
• Roughly 26MW to each country – half of current installed
capacity in Burundi, and a third of that in Rwanda!
• Minimum impact due to RoR design; detailed resettlement
Focusing on an important investment priority has enhanced
cooperation among riparians and Nile Basin governments in
general
