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: identification of different sectors that benefit from or affect the sustainability management of water resources in the basin; the review of existing strategies, policies and plans of the identified sectors on their flexibility and limitations for cross-sector coordination and planning; the identification of appropriate instruments for mobilizing financial resources from the identified sectors for sustainable water management in the basin; the conduction of a collaborative assessment of multi-purpose infrastructure costs, risks and returns/ benefits to different sectors, which will form the basis for allocation of the same; the development of capacities for planning across sectors relating to water resources in the basin.
