  1. AMCOW-TAC Meeting 24 - 25 November 2008, Nairobi Progress on the Development of Pan-African Mechanism for Water Sector Monitoring and Evaluation By Mr. Tefera Woudeneh Chief Water Operation Officer, AWF

  2. PRESENTATION OUTLINE African Water Vision (Aim 7) This is an Africa where: • Rationale for New M&E Framework • AWF Strategic approach • Regional Commitments and AWF Mandate • The Pan African Assessment: Process and status • Working Group Meeting Findings “There is an effective and financially sustainable system for data collection, assessment and dissemination for national and transboundary water basins” 2

  3. RATIONALE FOR NEW M & E FRAMEWORK • Growing Domestic and International Demand for Monitoring and Evaluation (MDG) • An increase in the Harmonization Agenda • Increased Decentralization and Participatory Practices • Enhanced Approach to Development (SWAp, Budget Support) • Country’s budgets and the funding decisions of bilateral and multi-lateral funding agencies • Comprehensive coverage of water and sanitation with the IWRM framework 3

  4. AWF STRATEGIC APPROACH • Support the development a framework for coordinated and concerted actionsamong national and regional partners in M&E for water resources management outcomes at the country and regional levels • Support country-led M&E functions to produce monitoring data and evaluations that are credible, valid and useable • Support Regional M&E Process 4

  5. Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness Country ownership of development policies and programmes Harmonization of resources flows with national priorities A system of mutual accountability M&E as tool of performance management in RBM approach Efforts and Commitment to establish M&E mechanisms 2005 Paris conferences on RWSSI endorsed establishment national mechanisms French support to establishment of regional mechanisms M&E as AWF key operational focus and support AMCOW Decisions to mandate AWF to Prepare Regional Mechanisms undertake a comprehensive assessment of existing M&E systems support a programme for strengthening national M&E capacity, harmonize and coordinate M&E activities build on existing M&E systems rather than create new ones REGIONAL COMMITMENTS AND AWF MANDATE 5

  6. Consultative Workshop held in Sept 2006 Workshop resulted in the Tunis Action Plan Global Goals in an African Context Commitment to sustainable funding African Leadership should adopt a Peer Review Approach Priority focus on Country-owned Water Sector M&E Improving M&E Systems not replacing them Priority Action Focused on Developing a capacity building strategy and programme Strengthening existing National Systems ; Regional Collaboration and M&E Linkages PROCESS: TUNIS CONSULTATIVE MEETING 6

  7. Tunis Stakeholder’s 2006 Meeting: Identify who is doing what, where, how, at what level and with whatresources in African water M&E sector Design a Template for Rapid Assessment of National M&E systems; Develop a Generic Framework for Water M&E in Africa; Formulate an Action Plan for the harmonization and strengthening of national and regional M&E systems. WHAT IS THE PAN AFRICAN M&E ASSESSMENT? 7

  8. Conceptual approach and TOR developed – Feb. 2007 International consultant Nov 2007 – July 2008 Overview of the Water Sector M&E Template for National M&E Systems Assessment Generic M&E Framework: From National to Sub Regional to Regional M&E Action Plan: 2009-2011 step by step Programme Stakeholders M&E Working Group Meeting – 13&14 November 2008 to review draft report (AMCOW TAC, UN Water Africa, JMP -WHO and UNICEF, CEDARE, EMWIS, ANEW, ADB, AWF) PROCESS AND STATUS 8

  9. WORKING GROUP Meeting • Meeting Objective: review the Pan African Assessment Report • Chair: Mr. Charles NGANGOUE, AMCOW TAC Chairperson. • Attendance: 22 participants • General impression: • First Compilation on Africa Water Sector M&E • Quite comprehensive • Important milestone • Improvement needed by regular updates • Welcomed and globally positive 9

  10. WORKING GROUP FINDINGS (1) • National Ownership Principle endorsed • 3 National M&E levels: Planning Ministry, Water Utilities & Boards, Users perspective (Participatory monitoring • Need for harmonized National M&E Systems • Sanitation M&E and Water M&E • Tools to measure Effective Use (versus Access) at Local Level to be developed • M&E in the Context of Increasing urbanization • Statistical Offices to play effective role • Country information validated by Countries through TAC coordination 10

  11. WORKING GROUP FINDINGS (3) • M&E Rapid Assessment Template as good tool • National M&E Systems Rapid assessment : Approach for countries to assess M&E systems not data • In country duration: 10-15 days : a governmental counterpart + national consultant - capacity building and knowledge • Validation format at national level: Include process in working with national institutions • Tool for National M&E self assessment : Tool for Peer Review Mechanism in the context of WSP CSO & CSO-2 & WHO- GLASS report 11

  12. WORKING GROUP FINDINGS (4) • Generic National, Sub-Regional and Regional Framework • Strengthening national systems from harmonized approach • assures linkages through M&E chain (national – sub-regional, regional) • Evaluations accompanied by country-level stakeholders ( peer review mechanism) • Potential uses of RA reports: Status of M&E – AMCOW report to AU • Longer term: standardizing M&E efforts and standards 12

  13. WORKING GROUP FINDINGS (5) • Generic Sub-Regional and Regional Framework • Emphasis has to be on demand rather than supply driven approach • Very different sets of capabilities and foci across RECs/sub-regional organizations. • Recommends leaving flexibility, encouraging competition. • Monitoring Capability to be assessed by AMCOW Sub Regions based on existing framework (CEDARE, ECOWAS WRCC, SDAC,…) – • Regional NGO capabilities through ANEW • African Regional Water Monitoring Centre : likely but how, where 13

  14. WORKING GROUP FINDINGS (6) • Action Plan • Principles for 2009-2011 actions endorsed • Implementation in 2 staggered steps: RA and proposal followed by Strengthening national M&E • Need to consider ongoing developments and initiatives • Linkages with sector coordination groups (mostly WS&S) • Map donor/civil society activities per country / organization 14

  15. By end 2008: Update of the Pan African M&E Assessment Report with key elements and budget for Rapid Assessment phase. Initial action engaged: pilot test of the Rapid Assessment template (Malawi) Early 2009 : Linkages with donors AMCOW TAC and EXCO special M&E meetings to seek endorsement Effective Rapid Assessment in 10 Countries AWF ongoing work (CEDARE, ECOWAS, SADC) to include additional countries from Central and Eastern Africa WAY FORWARD 15

RWSSI in AfDB operations 19 programmes approved for total USD 2.0 billion USD 824 million approved from AfDB USD 71 million ( Euro 52.7 million) approved from RWSSI Trust Fund for 6 projects USD 1.1 billion leveraged Will reach 31 million and 30 million people with WSS by 2010 Phase I Achievements

  22. Phase I Achievements Paris Declaration Issues • Twelve are based on National programmes that adopted SWAps • 6 country systems for national procurement and donor systems for international procurement • and 2 (Uganda and Tanzania) are using country systems • Eleven use national implementation arrangements • 8 have developed common monitoring systems and carry out annual sector reviews

  23. Phase I Achievements

  24. Higher priority given to RWSS by governments and development partners. (AfricaSan+5, AWW-1, AU HGOG Summit on water at Sharm El Sheikh and G8 in 2008). Programmatic approach introduced in 60% of the RWSSI interventions, Less use of PIUs Increased use of country systems for procurement and financial management Enhanced community action; Gender issues mainstreamed at all levels of implementation Coordination and harmonization of donors and partners at national level facilitated Quicker programme development and start up Phase I Achievements

  25. Phase II Requirements

  26. Phase II Requirements

  27. Challenges Resource mobilization: Currentlevels of financing for the sector are inadequate for achieving the WSS MDGs. Need for Bank to achieve level of UA 600 million/yr Financing infrastructure for water security is lacking Prioritizing Sanitation Building capacity of national, local governments and communities; local service providers and suppliers Managing Transboundary Water resources Monitoring and evaluation 27

  28. Government prioritization of water in PRSPs and CSPs Need to mobilize more resources for RWSS To Continue to advocate for more political support for RWSSI at the Highest political level Need to strengthen collaboration and harmonization with development partners Actions for AMCOW Follow-up
