• A demand-driven African instrument • Smaller upstream projects of up to €5 million with the aim of
catalyzing additional funding• Innovative and catalytic projects• Able to fast track the processing of projects (approval process)• Funds targeted to a wide variety of African institutions: NGOs
and CBOs, municipalities up to national and regional entities

AWF in AfricaAWF tackles in its water projects most of the contemporary challenges, including:
Ensuring water security
Providing support to fragile States
Increasing agricultural productivity
Adaptation to climate change impacts
Diversity of projects
AWF Portfolio (by Sept. 2010)
66 projects approved(€79 million)
TOTAL
More than 28 countries and 8 regional institutions have benefited from AWF support…

Total 33
≈ 50% of the portfolio are IWRM/TWRM-related
Added value of IWRM projects
1. Strengthening of collaboration and synergies among donors through the organization of roundtable meetings in order to finance the implementation of action plans: – Congo Basin, Mali, Burundi…
2. Intervention in post-conflict countries, which allowed a better coverage of countries with regard to IWRM development: – Liberia, Gambia, Congo basin, Burundi, Rwanda, Togo, CAR
3. Follow-up of actions undertaken by other donors, which made effective the implementation of IWRM Action Plans in some countries: – Senegal’s IWRM Action Plan developed with the support of Canada and GWP– Mali’s IWRM Action Plan developed with the support of the Netherlands and
GWP…4. Development of cooperation dynamics through the establishment
of multi-actors dialogue and inter-institutional frameworks at basin level: – Congo basin, the Volta and ANBO
Main objective
Establish sustainable water supply, sanitation and hygiene promotion services tailored to the needs of an urban poor community
Integrated Water and Sanitation Service to the Urban Poor in Kagugube Parish of
KampalaDuration: 2008 - 2010
Amount: AWF - €800,000 & NWSC €65,575
ImplementerNational Water and
Sanitation Corporation (in collaboration with Kampala City Council)
Context• Access to safe water in
Kampala is 70%, but around 17% in informal settlements
• More than 90% of the water samples are contaminated by E-coli bacteria
Sanitation services tailored to the needs of the beneficiary population (special focus on excreta mgt at both household and communal levels) - +13,000 to benefit from communal and HH facilities on completion

capacity for more effective operation of
services to the urban poor : Urban Pro-
Poor Branch of NWSC, Kampala City
Council
ResultsImproved access to water for the urban poor at official NWSC tariff through pre-paid meters: 13,000 people impacted
Use of pre-paid meters provides poor and transient population with affordable and reliable (24 hours) source of water, and has been a useful ‘regulatory tool’ to eliminate overpricing by ‘middlemen’
Integrated WSS for Urban Poor in Kagugube Actual water tariffs paid by poor consumers
Evolution of Water Tariffs paid by Poor Consumers
Water delivered at prepaid meter points is UGSh19.5 for a 20 litre container (US$ 0.47/m3).
Before project, poor consumers paid UGSh100-200 to service providers (agents of the utility).
This compares to average utility tariff of UGSh 75.00.
Price paid for water before and after project
AWF is supporting AMCOW in implementing its Pan African M&E initiative
AWF funded activities undertaken in the first half of 2010 include:
– Approval of a Euro 1.9 million project on strengthening water sector M&E systems in Malawi
– Approval of a Euro 1.8 million regional project on Water MDG’s Monitoring and Evaluation in North Africa (Center for Environment and Development for the Arab Region and Europe)
Pan African M&E Initiative
Water for Growth and Development
Preparatory activities have been undertaken together with WWC to establish an African initiative to investigate the relationship between water and economic growth and development
The outcomes of the study will serve as a basis for justifying actions and augmented investments in the sector
In consultation with other sector players, including OECD and GWP, AWF prepared TORs for the research assignment which is expected to start soon
