Project Duration and Components
Assumptions Around
Project Duration
 At concept state, assumed a 5 to 7 year
implementation period
 Recognize that first year is a low disbursement year
 Establishing initial capacities in DoLR, states
 Completing major procurement of key service providers
 Developing partnerships, etc
 IWMP will work on a five-year cycle
 Perhaps assume six year implementation period
 Flexibility is important
Assumptions about Project
Components
 Currently three main components + project management:
1. Capacity building:
 Key national institutions (DoLR, CLNA, NRAA, etc):
 Program and policy development, analysis, IWMP delivery,
M&E, coordination, etc.
 Relevant institutions in all states (SNNA, village, GP, farmers):
 Technical skills – watershed management, natural resources
management, rural livelihoods, water management,
agricultural improvement, climate change adaptation
 Program management
Assumptions about Project
Components
2. State IWMP Support (similar to new KWDP-II):
 Introduction of decision-support models for site
selection, etc
 Develop digital data bases to support planning
 Larger scale watershed assessment/planning
 Improved micro-watershed planning, tools
 Facilitate program integration, convergence
 Community-based monitoring, tools
Assumptions about Project
Components
3. Nationwide Innovation Support:
 Applied R&D on key thematic areas
 Develop tools for advanced hydrological assessment
 Demand-driven technology transfer
 Improved research planning, coordination,
evaluation
Assumptions about Project
Components
4. Nationwide Project Implementation Support:
 Incremental costs at central and state level
institutions
 Communications, informatics
 Web site development, management
 3rd party M&E, baseline, etc.
Key Points
 Components must deliver on the PDO
 Components help define project scale
 At concept stage, component design is very basic
 During preparation, must flesh out sub-components,
activities and costs
 During implementation, design is fairly flexible within
components
