Background

The Inland Water Resources Management Programme (INWRMP) forms part of a major donor-supported effort to strengthen and reinforce the mandate of IGAD on behalf of its member states. The key issues that the region has faced in the past decade are related to instability arising from poor governance and scarcity of water resources, coupled with the vagaries of the climate. Shortage of water undermines the people’s well-being and is at the source of conflicts.

The focus of the INWRMP is, among others, on the establishment and institutionalization of regional cooperation (Result Area 1), the improvement of policy and legal frameworks for water resources management (Result Area 2), the strengthening of regional and national water resources management institutions (Result Area 3) and the setting up of adequate information systems for decision making in water management (Result Area 4).

In order to establish and institutionalize regional cooperation, which is a prerequisite for the successful fulfillment of virtually all INWRMP result area objectives, it is necessary to gain knowledge of the water resources management issues on which this cooperation should focus, and of the priority to be attached to them. These issues, as well as possible measures to address them, will be discussed within the framework of the IGAD Water Dialogue Forum. The subject of the present consultancy will be the identification of those water resources management issues having a trans-boundary impact which should be discussed within the Forum and on which regional cooperation should be established as a matter of priority.

4.    For each set of issues, as identified and classified under Point 3, indicate priorities and the order in which the issues should be discussed and addressed within the relevant fora.

5.    Make recommendations on the manner in which the IGAD Water Dialogue Forum should be used to discuss and address the priority water management issues of a regional nature, and in particular the issues relating to trans-boundary water resources, with a view to facilitating the adoption of measures leading to equitable water use and, in general, to sustainable water resources management in the region.
