Background:
The IGAD-HYCOS project, is one component of the Inland Water Resources Management Programme (INWRMP). The project aims at establishing a “Regional water management information systems and strengthened observation networks” within the broader framework of the Inland Water Resources Management Programme (INWRMP).
The IGAD-HYCOS project will be implemented as a two Phase project entitled “Implementation of the IGAD HYCOS”. The implementation period for Phase I (preparatory phase) of the project is twelve months and it commenced in June 2011.
The preparatory phase of the “Implementation of IGAD-HYCOS” will focus on revision of the project document and preparatory activities for the implementation phase (Phase II). It will involve extensive country consultations with all relevant stakeholders. The revision of the document is
necessary because the existing project document was formulated in 2003 (with preliminary budget estimates) keeping in view the then state of telecommunication systems and the available data transmission technology in the Region. As per the original proposal only, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda – Members of IGAD - were included as the participating countries in the project. Now, at the request of East Africa Community (EAC) and considering the new political changes in the Region, the scope of the project has been extended to cover additional countries including Burundi, Rwanda and South Sudan. The revised draft project document will be aligned with the new on the ground realties to ensure successful implementation of the project.
