Key Components of Support: 

Key Components of Support Building Stakeholder Commitment Institutionalising CMAs Integrating IWRM into service delivery

Key issues Sector Wide Approach: 

Key issues Sector Wide Approach Need to move to SWAP Integration within DWAF Whilst DWAF is sector leader needs strong linkages with other government departments

CMAs : 

CMAs Need to ensure that basin organisations (CMAs) do not maintain the status quo but are vehicles for IWRM and sustainable development in the holistic sense Moreover CMAs are a vehicle for redressing the past and those previously marginalised can benefit to the maximum and actively participate in local WRM issues.

IWRM South Africa: 

IWRM South Africa Case Study One Cooperative Governance

Within DWAF: 

Within DWAF Concept of Task Forces introduced under IWRM I Head office and regional office staff clustered around aspects of IWRM Service providers included Main challenge for IWRM II is the integration of WRM and Water Services This being achieved through collaboration with Masimbambane Programme particularly in terms of common approaches Pilot projects Rights-based Approach Gender, Poverty Alleviation and Employment Generation

Inter-governmental: 

Inter-governmental Considerable effort has been taken to engage other government departments Creating fora for dialogue At an operational level Bring all key actors on board wherever possible with respect to pilot/demonstration projects to ensure integrated approaches and linkages to local and provincial development plans (e.g. KZN) Use of Metro to capacitate other municipalities

Other donors and NGOs: 

Other donors and NGOs Task has been to ensure complementarity's and avoid duplication Involve donors in key milestone activities Draw on their experiences e.g. FAO and food security ITC/ILO gender Ensuring real collaboration on the ground e.g. UK/EPA, Netherlands, USAID Partnering funding

Other donors and NGOs: 

Other donors and NGOs EXAMPLES 1 EU Water for Development Programme Netherlands capacity develop for rural communities USAID Community involvement in non-revenue management UK/EPA developing stakeholder partnerships for CMAs

IWRM South Africa: 

IWRM South Africa Challenges

Overview: 

Overview Embedding concept of budget support Synchronising of budgets especially when more than one government department involved Allowing sufficient time for empowerment Balance between strategic and on the ground projects

Negative Impacts: 

Negative Impacts Human resources Risks of donor budget support not achieving what intended to Continued marginalisation of vulnerable groups WMA dynamics skewed and approaches differ

Previous attempts to overcome problems: 

Previous attempts to overcome problems IWRM I allocations made to underpin DWAF staff (in regions) Micro projects to bring together sector partners together regarding IWRM Close out workshops for IWRM I to ensure alignment for IWRM II (institutional memory)

Way forward: 

Way forward Induction training with respect to budget support “Ring fence” funds for local management of implementation “Ring fence” funds for easy implementation of funds for pilot projects Ensure localised project coordination
