Integrated Water Resources Management in Ten Basins

closed

The objective of the Integrated Water Resources Management in Ten Basins Project is to strengthen the capacity of targeted water resources management related institutions to plan, monitor and manage water resources at the national level and in selected river basins in Peru. There are three components to the project, the first component being consolidating IWRM at the national level. This component aims to improving the capacity of ANA and other water institutions to plan, monitor, and manage water resources at the national level by: (i) enhancing and expanding monitoring systems to improve water resources’ data on the quantity (meteorology, streamflow, and groundwater), quality, and use in irrigated agriculture; (ii) developing robust mechanisms for dam safety; and (iii) strengthening institutions and tools for IWRM. Detailed activities under this component are outlined in annex one. The second component is the Improving WRM in Selected Pilot River Basins. This component aims to improve IWRM at the basin level taking into consideration basin needs, future developments, as well as climate change implications, in both the Pacific and Atlantic watersheds. The third component is the general project administration. This component will support the management and monitoring of activities associated with Project implementation through a national Project Implementation Unit (PIU), including technical assistance and administrative support on monitoring and evaluation (M&E) (baseline surveys, midterm reporting, annual audits, final project evaluation), procurement, financial management (FM), safeguards, training, and communication.
