In 2021 and 2022, the Global Water Partnership (GWP) Tanzania supported the Ministry of Water in Tanzania to develop an IWRM Action Plan. The Ministry identified the Wami-Ruvu basin as a priority basin for the development of an Action Plan. Specifically, work packages including strategic actions were formulated in collaboration with the Wami-Ruvu Basin Water Board as part of appropriate IWRM responses to some of the prevailing challenges in water resources management in Wami-Ruvu Basin. The result is an Action Plan consisting of four work packages.
This strategic action is part of the work package on developing a resource mobilisation strategy at basin level. This strategic action will contain different steps, including: a review of how existing legal frameworks affect private sector involvement in financing; the initiation of an open dialogue between the public and private sectors in the basin on shortcomings of the existing legal and regulatory framework; the design of a new water investment legal framework; the improvement of the basin office financial governance by increasing their creditworthiness and efficiency in capital planning and reducing unit costs; the development of capacities for financial planning, financial management, financial control and evaluation of non-conventional technical projects.
