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 new potential financial partners from the global water financing portfolio; initiation of a forum for promoting dialogue between the basin management and existing and new international financial partners to improve alignment of their support with basin objectives; development of good quality proposals for water-related projects to mobilise climate financing; use of government and donor funds to better catalyse commercial finance via blending; capacity development for project preparation and for accessing blending finance which adequately allocate risks and returns across financiers, building on good international practices.
