This report outlines the proceedings of the Steering Committee meeting held on January 23, 2008, focusing on institutional support to the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning (MESP) and River Basin Authorities. Key discussions centered on the implementation of information systems for water resource management, monitoring networks for rivers and groundwater, and modeling tools for flood risk and water resource planning. The importance of training and capacity building in these areas was emphasized, alongside planned activities for the next period. The report also addresses identified problems and risks affecting ongoing initiatives.

MANAGEMENT ISSUES - CONCLUSIONS • Process of replacement of KE3 is under way • More contacts and discussion about the development of River Basin District Authorities needed, • Project monitoring mission and mid-term review of the project with the partners will provide opportunities to optimise allocation of project resources for project results achievement • Practices of the methodologies and tools developed has to be developed • New activities will start especially on flooding risks, on groundwater information acquisition and ToR for drilling contract and for monitoring
