Action 5 - Mobilise additional resources from domestic private actors

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 potential basin private sector actors and investors; initiation of an open dialogue between the private and public sector actors in the basin to explore potential partnerships or financial relationships and transactions, including potential private investors; awareness raising among potential investors about the opportunities and responsibilities to invest in basin water governance; capacity development for showcasing investment opportunities and for entering into a dialogue with potential investors.
