The Senegal River Basin Multi-Purpose Water Resources Development (MWRD2) Project is the second phase of a 10-year program designed to enhance regional integration among the countries of the Senegal River Basin for multi-purpose water resources development, to foster improved community livelihoods. The MWRD2 Project Development Objective is to improve coordinated management of water resources for socially, environmentally and economically sustainable development in the Senegal River Basin. The project has three inter-related components supporting the project development objective: (1) Institutional development, (2) Multi-purpose water resources development and (3) Infrastructure management and planning. The objective of Institutional development is to build capacity for cooperative management. This first component will support both institutional development and project implementation. The objective of the second component is to promote income-generating activities and to improve livelihoods for the basin population, while the objective of the third component is to advance climate resilient water resources planning and development in the region. This document also presents a detailed analysis of the various sub-components and activities under each broad component and also elaborates on the implementation arrangements as well as other important aspects of the project such as financial management, procurements, environmental assessment and monitoring and evaluation.
