PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Context
Due to increasing population and economic growth, water demand in many countries is increasingly exceeding sustainable levels. As a result, global demand for water, an indispensable resource in all economic processes, is rapidly increasing. The effects of climate change exacerbate this situation.
The International Water Stewardship Program (IWaSP) addresses these challenges. IWaSP is a transnational multi-donor program of German Development Cooperation (2013-2018). GIZ implements IWaSP as one of the initiatives of the Bonn2011 Nexus Conference on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The project is co-financed by the British Department for International Development (DFID).
Objective
The adaptability of water users to the impacts of climate change is enhanced by the involvement of the private sector in reducing common water risks.
method
"Water Stewardship" is based on the understanding that all water users play a key role in sustainable water resource use, and that a single actor can not handle the complex challenges.The
International Water Stewardship Program (IWaSP) identifies actions in cooperation with government agencies, businesses and civil society It initiates and establishes partnerships and coordinates them with the support of the bilateral and regional water programs of GIZ A team at the GIZ headquarters coordinates the overall approach, performs monitoring and donor
coordination IWaSP has five components:
1.Improving and institutionalizing cooperation between the
public , private sector and civil society 2. Identifying, developing and implementing partnerships to reduce water
risks 3. Involving the private sector in financing and implementing policies
4.Integrating learning experiences from specific actions into national policies and policies
5.Advocacy and regional and international dissemination of learning experiences from the measures
German Development Cooperation is using Water Stewardship as an efficient approach to reducing water risks worldwide.
effects
Kenya. IWaSP supports the restoration and protection of Naivasha Lake through a partnership of government, private sector and civil society. Water resource management will be improved, water quality and availability will be increased and potential for conflict mitigated.
A round table, "Nairobi Water Roundtable", with the largest private water users, identifies possible measures to improve water resource protection and water management in the Nairobi Capital Region, with partners such as Diageo, BASF, Coca-Cola, IUCN, Tetrapak and WWF already taking part in Nairobi Water Roundtable part.
Zambia. The Itawa source is to be protected by activities and measures of a partnership. The goal is the economic, social and ecologically sustainable use of the source. Civil society actors as well as Zambian Breweries, the countrys largest brewer, and public authorities such as the Ministry of Land and City Council are participating.
South Africa. The Strategic Water Partners Network (SWPN) was established as a coordination platform between the private sector and the government. IWaSP supports SWPN in driving forward measures to reduce major water risks and prevent future water scarcity. More than 25 South African and multinational companies based in South Africa, government institutions and non-governmental organizations are now involved in the network, including Coca-Cola, AngloAmerican, Nestlé, SABMiller, WWF, WRG and the Ministry of Water.
Tanzania. A partnership will improve the ecosystem of the Mlalakua River. Coca-Cola, local private companies (Nabaki Africa), the National Environment Management Council and the local nongovernmental organization Nipe Fagio are all involved. The aim is to restore the Mlalakua River and prevent pollution in the long term.
Uganda. In cooperation with Coca-Cola and the Ministry of Water, efficient water resource management is being supported in the catchment area of ??the Rwizi River.
In Kampala, a wastewater dialogue with private companies was launched in cooperation with the city administration. In the future, cooperation opportunities will be investigated. among others in the oil, gas and hydropower sectors.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Context
demand for water is becoming increasingly, and in some cases unsustainably. In many countries, population and industry growth is progressively outstripping available water supply. The impacts of climate change are further aggravating the situation.
The International Water Stewardship Program (IWaSP) addresses these challenges. IWaSP is a transnational, multi-donor, German development cooperation program with funding through 2018. GIZ was tasked with implementing this program at the Bonn2011 Nexus Conference on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The program is cofinanced by the British Department of International Development (DFID).
Objective
The adaptability of water users in the reduction of shared water risks.
Approach
The concept of water stewardship is to be used in a sustainable way.
Working alongside public bodies, enterprises and civil society, the International Water Stewardship Program identifies measures aimed at reducing shared water risks. GIZ bilateral and regional water programs. The program initiates and sets up partnerships between the three different types of stakeholders. A team at the GIZ Head Office is responsible for the overall approach and thus oversees monitoring and donor coordination. Local GIZ offices coordinate the partnerships.
IWaSP of five components:
1.improvement and institutionalization of cooperation between the state and the private sector and civil society;
2.identification, development and implementation of partnerships aimed at reducing water risks;
3.Involvement of the private sector in the financing and implementation of appropriate measures;
4.integration of lessons learned from specific measures into national strategies and policies; and
5.advocacy and dissemination at both regional and international level.
German development cooperation is working on promoting water stewardship as an efficient approach to reducing water risks.
Results
Kenya. IWASP is supporting the restoration and conservation of Lake Naivasha through a partnership between government, private sector and civil society. This work is entitled to water resource management, water quality, and water supply, as well as decreasing the potential for conflict.
The Nairobi Water Roundtable will allow the largest private water users to make their way through the capital city. Partners such as Diageo, BASF, Coca-Cola, IUCN, Tetra Pak and WWF take part in it.
Zambia. In Zambia, IWaSP is working to protect and manage the Itawa Spring through a variety of partnership activities and measures. The aim is to promote sustainable economic, social and ecological use of the springs. Participants include stakeholders from civil society, as well as Zambian Breweries and public authorities seeking the Ministry of Lands and the Department of Water Affairs.
South Africa. Strategic Water Partners Network (SWPN) has been created as a coordination platform between the private sector and the government. IWaSP supports SWPN in promoting measures to mitigate major water-related risks and prevent future water shortages. Twenty-five South African and multinational companies based in South Africa, government institutions and NGOs are already part of the network, including Coca-Cola, AngloAmerican, Nestlé, SABMiller, WWF, WRG and the Water Ministry.
Tanzania. The ecosystem of the Mlalakua River is being improved by a partnership. Coca-Cola, local private sector industry (Nabaki Africa), the national environmental authority as well as the local NGO Nipe Fagio are involved.
