Tana & Beles Integrated Water Resources Development

closed

The objective of the Tana & Beles Integrated Water Resources Development Project is to develop enabling institutions and investments for integrated planning, management, and development in the Tana and Beles Sub-basins to accelerate sustainable growth. There are four components to the project. The first component of the project is sub-basin resources planning and management. This component aims to develop the enabling institutional infrastructure and capacity necessary for stimulating and managing sustainable investments in the Tana and Beles sub-basins. The two sub-components will be supported: (i) water resource information system development; and (ii) resource planning and management capacity-building. The second component of the project is natural resource management investments. This component aims to undertake critical investments to improve the natural resources management in the Tana sub-basin. Given the urgency of such investments in the Tana sub-basin and the early nature of engagement in the Beles sub-basin, this component is confined to investments solely in the Tana Sub-basin. The two sub-components will be supported by: (i) watershed development; and (ii) flood management. The third component of the project is growth-oriented investment facilitation, this component aims to support the institutional capacity and investment facilitation required for sustainable development of the Tana and Beles sub-basins to realize the growth vision for the region. The two sub-components will be supported: (i) development agency support by; (ii) growth-oriented investment preparation. The fourth and the final component of the project is project management. This component aims to support overall project planning, coordination, management, quality oversight, technical supervision, effective procurement and financial management, as well as consolidated monitoring and reporting of project activities.
