  1. Future of NBDC National Platform Belay Demissie, National Consultant, NBDC October, 2013

  2. Current reality The National platform was initiated by the NBDC, which also supports the platform (financially and through secretariat) NBDC ends in Dec 2013 No sustainable institutional system established Ownership not yet defined, but having the forum as a way to link research/good practices more effectively to policy (and vice versa) is appreciated by all

  3. Options for continuity CGIAR system led process Align/integrate with existing national coordination mechanisms Think tank Professional Associations

  4. Practical Option

  5. Existing Coordination Mechanisms • RED/FS: - Led by MOFED + MOA - Government, donor, NGO, private sector etc - More on resource mobilization, strategic frame work development, policy and institutions - Project implementation support, M&E • ADPLAC :-Agricultural development partners’ linkage advisory council (ADPLAC): Led by MOA + EIAR - More technical level - Researchers, extensions, farmers, private, NGOs

  6. RED/FS Coordination Mechanisms • RED/FS • National Platform • National steering committee • Three TC: - AGP TC - SLM TC - DRMFSS • Appropriate place for National Platform (on Land and Water Management) coordination: SLM TC- with its 5 taskforces

  7. SLM TC • Five task forces - Small scale irrigation - Best practice task force - Capacity building - Climate change - Land administration/land use Note: Inter-task force collaboration is a must for a sustainable NRM sector development !!!

  8. National Platform Meeting Organization • Can be organize every six months • One of the TC could set an agenda for discussion and call a meeting • Task forces play a critical role in proposing the agenda items and organizing the platform • Projects/programs (including e.g. GGIAR research program) contribute resources to organize different meetings including the platform meeting, technical support, share experiences etc.

  9. Good Experience 1: Small Scale Irrigation Task force – IWMI’s Engagement • IWMI- • Member and secretariat of the TF • Initiate any agenda for discussion • Present and share any field level findings for the different TFs • SSI-TF: organized a regional workshop at Bahir Dar • TFs: Possible to call for a national platform meeting through the SLM-TC for wider networking, advocacy, knowledge sharing to influence policy and institutions

  10. Good Experience 2: FLoWS of RiPPLE • FLoWS(Forum for Learning on Water & Sanitation): - An interactive WaSH national learning platform • Participants: development practitioners, policy & decision makers, researchers , etc from governmental organizations, CSOs/NGOs, academic & research institutes, donor agencies, private sector etc • Aim to stimulate interest in learning, enhance uptake of action research findings etc.

  11. Ownership • Ministry of Water & Energy (MoWE) under the Research & Development (R&D) … Directorate: Responsible to follow up implementation of policies, to carry out regular analysis, to identify policy gaps and to use evidence from regions, NGOs and donors for policy feedback ( this is a gap under the MOA- No responsible policy unit) • In close collaboration with technical and logistical Financial assistances of projects: - RiPPLE, Projects and other sector institution. • Have MoU signed

  12. Conclusion • Align with the existing national and regional coordination mechanisms under the MOA- NRM state minister and NRM directorate- IWMI already started the positive engagement. • No need of signingMOU since the coordination mechanisms are in place under MOA • Success factor: continues institutional and personal engagement and commitment from projects/programs & implementing institutions • This way it is possible to influence policy, institution and practices using evidence- based approach

  13. Thank You ….. • Thank You !!
