The Integrated Water Resources Management
(IWRM) National Planning Programme
• Funded by the European Union Water Facility from 2008 to
2010
• Support to Cook Islands, Fiji, Federated States of Micronesia,
Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Samoa, Solomon
Islands, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu
• Executed by SOPAC specifically supported by three project
advisers: Rhonda Bower ([email protected]), James Dalton
([email protected]), and Ulrika Gunnartz
([email protected])
• Links closely to and will provide an enabling environment for
on-the-ground activities (initiatives, projects, etc.) to improve
the management of water resources
What are we expecting to achieve by
the end of the IWRM programme?
National IWRM plans and WUE strategies
•
•
developed and endorsed by governments
•
appropriate resources allocated for implementation and
monitoring and national budgeting and financial planning for
cross-sectoral IWRM approaches included within
Treasuries/Financial Ministries
•
•
approaches implementation agreed across national,
community and regional organisations
linked to an integrated into NSDS and related sectoral
national strategies and action plans
including institutional and technical interventions required for
scaling-up demonstration projects (GEF)
What are we expecting to achieve by
the end of the IWRM programme?
Strengthened and sustainable APEX water bodies (national
water committees)
•
•
•
endorsed and appointed by government to support
implementation, monitoring and adaptation of national IWRM
and WUE plans and coordination of IWRM activities
meeting regularly
Wide membership from all relevant sectors with mechanisms
for consultation and participation of non-governmental actors
Raised awareness and understanding of IWRM across civil
society, government, education systems and the private
sector, with IWRM mainstreamed into national working
practices (including e.g. national school curricula)
So how can the IWRM Planning Programme help?


To complement existing processes and initiatives

In the form of, for example:
Adapted to the specific situation and needs of each
country

technical advise (resource centre, experts)

regional exchange and linkages (meetings and networking)

communications and information management (national
resource base)

staff support (to IWRM planning process and water
committees)
Implementation arrangements
