Action 3 - Increase revenue internally generated in the basin

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: introducing cost recovery targets across sectors; review water tariff structures to reflect realistic economic value of water; introduction/ strengthening of economic policy instruments for water management.
