Abschnitt II: Gegenstand
81286882 - Transboundary Water Management in SADC
The Government of Lesotho, with support from the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, has embarked on an ambitious "National Programme for Integrated Catchment Management (ReNoka)" ("re noka" in Sesotho means "we are a river"). Its aim is to rehabilitate degraded watersheds across the country and to put in place prevention measures that will halt the further degradation of Lesotho"s catchment areas. The sustainable management of Lesotho"s catchments are of critical importance for water, land, energy and food security not only in Lesotho itself but in the entire Orange-Senqu Basin and Gauteng Province, Southern Africa"s economic centre.
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has been commissioned by the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development to implement a technical cooperation project to support Integrated Catchment Management in Lesotho. The overall objective of the project is that "Integrated Catchment Management facilitates socio-economic development and adaptation to climate change in Lesotho", while the specific objective is "ICM is institutionalised and under full implementation in Lesotho, based on gender equality and climate adaptation principles".
To achieve this objective, the Action works concurrently on five interlinked outputs:
- Output 1: Effective and efficient, gender sensitive and climate-resilient policy framework for ICM is developed and applied.
- Output 2: Effective and efficient institutions for ICM are established, with equitable representation of women and youth.
- Output 3: Capacity, skills and knowledge of public, private sector and civil society for sustainable ICM is facilitated.
- Output 4: ICM measures are implemented.
- Output 5: Capacity strengthened for coordination, monitoring, supervision and general programme management.
00000 Lesotho
Lesotho"s Long-term Water and Sanitation Strategy (2014) calls for the preparation of "Catchment Management and Development Plans" in consultation with stakeholders. The Lesotho Integrated Catchment Management Coordinating Unit (ICU) has selected two of the six Catchment Management Areas of the country that will provide the starting point for catchment planning and to test the governance principles and processes of integrated catchment management. These are the Upper Mohokare and Makhaleng Catchment Management Areas. Based on lessons learnt in the development of the first two catchment plans), the ICU will revise and improve existing draft guidelines for catchment planning to reflect Lesotho priorities, incorporate latest research and experience around ecosystem-based approaches, to make the guidelines accessible to lay persons and to provide a basis for institutionalising the planning processes in Lesotho
Work Package 1 - Water Resource Assessments
Objectives are to:
- Conduct a rapid assessment of water resource availability across the country at sub-catchment level to inform an ICM scaling-up strategy.
- Quantify the available surface and groundwater resources (overview character, estimation of overall GW resources, modelling) in the Makhaleng and Upper Mohokare catchments under natural conditions in space and time, assess the present-day (baseline) water requirements, describe existing water resources infrastructure
Work Package 2 -Catchment Planning
In cooperation with key stakeholders and through a participatory approach (Work Package 5), develop integrated catchment management plans for the two Catchment Management Areas that:-
- integrate WRM issues, visions and solutions identified at a local level for development of annual Community and Local Council ICM Plans to sub-catchment level
- provide a medium term (5-year) strategic framework to guide subsequent reviews and updates of local ICM Plans
- describe and quantify the current and desired future status of water resources, range and wetland health and aquatic ecosystems in the sub-catchments
- consider upstream and downstream linkages with other catchments
- identify multi-year water resource management and development interventions
- inform future development of IWRMDPs for the other four Catchment Management Areas in Lesotho
Work Package 3 - National Guidelines
In the preparatory phase of the Action, the ICM coordination unit (ICU) was supported through a consultative process to produce ICM planning guidelines. The guideline was produced with Technical Advisory support while relevant line ministries and other key partners provided technical input to the process. The guideline was adapted from the watershed management guideline from Ethiopia, with limited consideration of the prevailing situation in Lesotho regarding existing planning processes and structures in the districts.
The ICM planning guideline must be improved and finalised to:
- align ICM plans with existing local government structures and planning guidelines.
- test and improve the guidelines in a real-world application of the planning process
- provide a basis for standardizing and institutionalising the planning processes in Lesotho
Work Package 4 - Stakeholder Engagement (Up to 60 expert days)
Successful ICM implementation is characterised by an inclusive multi-stakeholder approach. Extensive stakeholder consultation is crucial and an important thread in all work packages. The consultancy will build on stakeholder mapping, identification and engagement done for the overarching ICM Programme, and refine the mapping which should include key stakeholders in the public sector, private sector, and civil society at local, national and transboundary scales. This identification for each of the work packages aims at ensuring inclusive and effective participation by stakeholders in each process. The consultant will support preparations for, and facilitation at stakeholder meetings and workshops led by the ICU.
Work Package 5 - Training and Capacity Building
The primary objective of this work package is to build organisational and individual capacity in the Integrated Catchment Management Coordination Unit (ICU) and line ministries to implement integrated catchment planning into the future. The focus should therefore be on capacity building around implementation and management of the catchment planning process (WP-3) through learning by doing. Key counterparts for capacity building are the ICU catchment managers and the catchment planning units (technical staff from line ministries) that they lead. A secondary objective is to build capacity around the technical work packages of the overall assignment (Work Packages 1 and 2). The focus here is to develop a thorough understanding of the specialist studies and information that are needed for the development of integrated catchment management plans, to the extent that the catchment managers can lead certain assessments conducted with technical support from CPUs, and to develop terms of references for specialist studies that warrant outsourcing.
The consultant must develop a training and capacity building plan that will meet these objectives and then implement across work packages and through the duration of the project. A mix of capacity building approaches should be considered, including participation in activities, self-studies, guiding the catchment managers in conducting parallel, simpler processes
