INBO Work Programme2019-2021

• Objective– Develop/improve WIS in basins

– Strengthen the exchange of experience and provide advice to basins

• Activities– Dissemination / promotion of the "WIS Handbook" at basin level,

especially in relation with UNECE

– Participation in the World Water Data Initiative (WWDI) Phase 2 aswell as in the WMO-led Global Hydrometry Support Facility activities;

• Joined production from INBO/UNESCO with support and contributions fromWMO, WWDI (WMO/BoM‐Australia), IOWater

• …. with very good complementarity of the contributions on topics such as:

• Water data governance (principles for interinstitutional coop. and financingaspects)

• Data production processes focusing on in situ monitoring, remote sensing,crowd sourcing

• How to organize integrated data management with various organizationsrelying on the existing situation (strategy/ common language,interoperability) ?

• How to improve visualization and production of information adapted tothe needs of the final users and ho to organize dissemination of theinformation

• … and a total 47 case studies from all continents provided by the partners andby INBO network members

• Firstly addressed to water‐sector decision‐makers (considering the importanceof water data management in IWRM) and to all organization willing to reinforcetheir capacities in data production, data administration and data exploitationfor a better water resource management

The Handbook on Water Information Systems

https://www.riob.org/fr/documents/all-handbooks-basins-management

• Underlines why water data management is so important for efficientwater resource management

• Introduces five main processes to be considered :

• Presents a picture of the main challenges and case studies showinghow information systems are implemented to meet needs invarious water sector management domains such as:

• Integrated Water Information Systems for IWRM and planning at basin and national levels

• Water information systems for climate change adaptation

• Early warning systems for flood and drought period management

• Water information systems for aquatic ecosystem protection

• Sectorial and thematic water information systems (drinking water and sanitation,irrigation, hydroelectricity, groundwater, etc.)

• Water information systems for reporting (SDG, WFD, Flood Directive, etc.)

• Water information systems for transboundary basins

47 study cases provided byco‐ authors and INBO partners

• Objective– Reinforce implementation based on developing or building capacities for adaptation to

the effects of climate change and for the management of uncertainty in basin management and action plans.

• Activities– Extending / reinforcing the exchange of experiences between basins in relation with

UNECE through the network of pilot basins for adaptation to climate change

– Sustaining the incubation platform for water and climate projects launched in 2017 bythe mobilization of new financial donors

• Facilitating the "100 projects for Africa" component launched in December 2017 with the support of the FrenchGovernment, the World Bank and the United Nations General Secretariat,

– Disseminating the publication planned with the World Bank and UNECE on thepreparation of acceptable projects.

– Intensifying the action of the Global Alliances for Water and Climate: participation ininternational events and joint advocacy, finalization and search for funding for jointoperational projects.

Example 2 - The Green Climate Fund Project Cycle The GCF project cycles includes five main steps:

1) The AE or the NDA submit a concept note (voluntary);

2) The AE submit the project proposal to the GCF, in conjunction with a no-objection letter signed by the NDA;

3) The GCF reviews selected sections of the proposal and the Independent Technical Advisory Panel (ITAP) of the Fund undertakes a technical assessment and provides recommendations;

4) Based on the review and the technical assessment, the GCF decides

whether or not to approve the funding; and,

5) If the proposal is approved, a Funded Activity Agreement (FAA) is negotiated and signed between the AE and the GCF.

Un positionnement très amontEarly stage positionning

Tour de table en coursFunding in progress

• Objective– Assist basins for improved water governance, for example using

methodology and indicators established within the WGI

• Activities– Support the action plan of the OECD-coordinated Water Governance

Initiative.

– INBO part of the Expert Task Force that will intervene over the next three years with countries and / or basins to help establish the "diagnosis of governance ”

– INBO is documenting the particular area of governance of water management control and permitting (water police) through the facilitation of a group of voluntary members for the production of a handbook.

• Objective– Increase relationships and interactions between the water sector and

economic sectors for more effective IWRM

– Progressing in the debate on water in agriculture

• Activities– Generate operational debate on the relationship between water use in

agriculture and the management of water resources and aquaticenvironments.

– Define new methods of work, again based on basin organizations'experiences, particularly within the institutions linked to basinorganizations, which promote positive interaction ("win-win"principle), well illustrated by the "prisoner's dilemma").

– Pilot approach in a few basins with first a diagnosis of interactions (orlack of interactions) and secondly an improvement project.

• Objective

– Facilitate dialogue between Cities and BO, based on the good practices for collaboration between Cities (Urban water utilities in particular but not only) and BO

• Activities– INBO supports the IWA Basin-connected Cities Action Agenda. It helps

to establish a compendium of good practices for collaboration between Cities and BO.

– INBO will also focus on supporting its members in the development of pilot projects on this theme.

INBO/IWA partnership

Preparation of a handbook on city-basin dialoguePresentation during 9th Word Water Forum in Dakar

• Objective– Reinforce stakeholders and civil society participation in water

resources management, especially in decision-making processes

• Activities– INBO will promote the exchange of experience by producing a compendium of

achievements in national and transboundary basins that involve participation on thefollowing issues : long-term objectives, common vision, Basin Management Plans,implementation of the Programmes of Measures and the multiannual priorityinvestments, fixing of the financing methods and calculation of the taxes and tariffswhich concern them.

– The high-level communication that the Secretariat will continue to provide to INBOmembers, observers and partners via the website www.inbo-news.org, "INBONewsletter", electronic newsletters and new handbooks for the dissemination of bestpractices will help to foster participation.
