Narrative
Description of the Project: The project aims to support BWDB & WARPO and other
implementing agencies to fulfil the critical institutional gaps to deliver
the intended project outputs while institutionalizing the process of
identifying, planning, implementing and managing water resources from an
integrated and cross-sectoral perspective with the establishment of viable
water management associations. Consultancy services for this project will
have a clear exit strategy and create a pool of highly qualified engineers
and other staff having participatory and client-oriented management skills,
with their acquisition, development and field practice under the project. In
general, while the project agencies have technical capacities to design and
construct water management structures, the new mandates envisaged under the
National Water Policy for effective water management responding to the
diverse stakeholder needs while ensuring sustainability, would generally call
for changes in the management system and behaviour of the agencies from
traditional implementer to genuine service-oriented facilitators, which calls
for significant and a long term support. The consultant also support this
generic transition process. |
