  1. Danida support to IWRM– South Africa From policy to Implementation water & forestry provincial & local government

  2. IWRM I • Guidelines and policy • Water Conservation, CMAs and Groundwater • Limited capacity building • Limited developmental projects

  3. Difference between participation and empowerment • Empowerment is the expansion of assets and capabilities of poor people to participate in, negotiate with, influence, control, and hold accountable institutions that affect their lives (Narayan, Deepa (Ed,) Empowerment and Poverty Reduction A Sourcebook The World Bank, Washington, 2002, p.xviii).

  4. Difference between participation and empowerment • If we are to capacitate people to be able to claim their rights, we have to ensure that approaches adopted to achieve these outcomes are effective, appropriate for their situation and allow sufficient time for the capacity development of marginalized groups and their representatives to be able to articulate their needs

  5. The Rights-Based Approach (RBA) to Development • The rights-based approach to development sets the achievement of human rights as the objective of development. It uses thinking about human rights as the scaffolding of development policy. It invokes the international apparatus of human rights accountability in support of development action. In all of these, it is concerned not just with civil and political rights, but also with economic, social and cultural rights (Overseas Development Institute (ODI) 1998),

  6. The Rights-Based Approach (RBA) - Empowerment • Human rights is empowering. It has the potential to empower people at the grass roots level into believing that they have a right to education, to health care or any of the other rights proclaimed in international instruments (Human Rights Council of Australia- 1998)

  7. The Rights-Based Approach (RBA) -Accountability • Accountability is firmly anchored in the human rights based approach to development. All partners in the development process: local, national, regional and international must accept higher levels of accountability. • Not only does it establish claims but also establishes obligations to meet these claims and identifies the corresponding duty-bearers. (UN Commission of Human Rights – Poverty Reduction Guidelines)

  8. The Rights-Based Approach (RBA) - Participation • Popular participation must extend to all parts of community life, including the definition and formulation of development policies and programmes, as well as their international implementation, monitoring and supervision (Declaration by UN Working Group on the Right to Development – UN Commission of Human Rights - 1996)

  9. Rationale for approach to IWRM South Africa

  10. Key Components of Support • Building Stakeholder Commitment • Institutionalising CMAs • Integrating IWRM into service delivery • Link to each outcome mapped out in Masibambane III

  12. Key issues Sector Wide Approach • Need to move to SWAP • Integration within DWAF • Whilst DWAF is sector leader needs strong linkages with other government departments • Vehicles such as Masibambane critical

  13. CMAs • Need to ensure that basin organisations (CMAs) do not maintain the status quo but are vehicles for IWRM and sustainable development in the holistic sense • Moreover CMAs are a vehicle for redressing the past and those previously marginalised can benefit to the maximum and actively participate in local WRM issues.

  14. Inter-governmental • Considerable effort has been taken to engage other government departments • Creating fora for dialogue • At an operational level • Bring all key actors on board wherever possible with respect to pilot/demonstration projects to ensure integrated approaches and linkages to local and provincial development plans (e.g. KZN) • Use of Metro to capacitate other municipalities

  15. Other donors and NGOs • Task has been to ensure complementarity's and avoid duplication • Involve donors in key milestone activities • Draw on their experiences e.g. FAO and food security ITC/ILO gender • Ensuring real collaboration on the ground e.g. UK/EPA, Netherlands, USAID • Partnering funding

  16. Other donors and NGOs • EXAMPLES 1 • EU Water for Development Programme • Netherlands capacity develop for rural communities • USAID Community involvement in non-revenue management • UK/EPA developing stakeholder partnerships for CMAs

  17. Other donors and NGOs • EXAMPLES 2 • Netherlands: Water Boards • FAO: Food Security • ITC/ILO Flemish Community GPE • WWF Partnership capacity building WUAs • DFID licensing

  27. IWRM South Africa Challenges

  28. Challenges • Embedding concept of budget support • Synchronising of budgets especially when more than one government department involved • Allowing sufficient time for empowerment • Balance between strategic and on the ground projects

  29. Risks • Human resources • Donor budget support not achieving what intended to • Continued marginalisation of vulnerable groups • WMA dynamics skewed and approaches differ

  30. Delivering Transformation and Sustainable Development through IWRM - (1) Top down & bottom up Making it happen Learning & adaptation Water for all - access to basic water services - multiple use services - meet Millennium Devt goals Resilient catchments - protecting water resources under climate chaos: resilience & whole catchment planning Water for industry - moving towards sustainable production in the energy, forestry & commercial farming sectors Water for emerging black farmers - water is vital to the second economy and empowerment of HDIs Healthy catchments - protecting the source of our water: ecological services & whole catchment planning

  31. Energy security Water security Food security Climate security Second economy - sustainable livelihoods & empowerment Second economy - handouts & dependency Delivering Transformation and Sustainable Development through IWRM - (2) First economy Unsustainable production in the energy, forestry & commercial farming sectors First economy Sustainable (resource efficient) production in the energy, forestry & commercial farming sectors Transform Transform

  32. Way Forward • Share our approach – influence yours ( SWAP) • Learn from Masibambane / Sector • Multiplier effect • More holisitic approach to IWRM and water for growth and development
