DRAFT DIRECTIVE ON WATER INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IN
WEST AFRICA – REGIONAL VALIDATION WORKSHOP REPORT
Ouagadougou, 31 March – 01 April 2014
2
1- INTRODUCTION
From 31 March to 1 April the regional workshop to validate the draft directive on
hydraulic infrastructure development in West Africa was held in Ouagadougou, Burkina
Faso.
The workshop was organised by the Water Resources Coordination Centre of ECOWAS
(WRCC-ECOWAS) in collaboration with the International Union for Conservation of
Nature (IUCN) and the International Institute for the Environment and Development
(IIED), with the financial support of the cooperation agencies of Great Britain (UKAid) and
Sweden (SIDA) via the Global Water Initiative (GWI) and the Partnership for
Environmental Governance (French Acronym PAGE) respectively.
This workshop brought together representatives from Governments, basin organisations,
the main sub-regional institutions involved in water resource management, civil society
and donors.
The participant list is provided in Appendix 3.
2- OPENING CEREMONY
The workshop’s opening ceremony was chaired by Mrs Traoré, Technical Advisor,
representing the Minister for Water, Hydraulic Infrastructure and Sanitation of Burkina
Faso.
Speeches were made by the following guests:
- Mr Jean-Marc Garreau, representing the Regional Director of IUCN’s Central and
West Africa Programme,
- Mr Nouradine Zakaria Touré, President of the Regional Coordination of Users of
the Niger River Basin,
- Mr Innocent Ouédraogo, Interim Director of the WRCC-ECOWAS,
- Mrs Traoré/Anago Clarisse, Technical Advisor, representing the Minister for
Water, Hydraulic Infrastructure and Sanitation of Burkina Faso
All the speeches focused on the significance and the stakes associated with the passing
of a directive on hydraulic infrastructure development in West Africa. In particular, the
positive impact that such a directive will have on the taking into account of
environmental, economic and social considerations in the development of national and
transnational hydraulic infrastructure in West Africa was highlighted.

3- WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED RESULTS
The overall objective of the workshop was to present, discuss and validate the draft
directive on the development of hydraulic infrastructure in West Africa drawn up
according to the guidelines validated in December 2011 by ECOWAS.
The results expected from the workshop included:
- The draft directive is presented and explained to all stakeholders (governments,
basin organisations, sub-regional institutions, civil society organisations),
- The stakeholders share their observations through open dialogue,
- The draft directive is amended, enriched and validated,
- Recommendations for implementing the directive are formulated by participants.
4- SESSION COMMITTEE
The workshop was coordinated by a committee made up of:
Chair: Ben Ampomah (Ghana)
Note-takers: Elhadj Aboubacar Touraoua (Niger) and Bojang Yusupha (Gambia)
Debates were moderated by Mr Serge Alfred Sedogo.
5- WORKSHOP ACTIVITIES
To begin workshop activities the following presentations were made:
- Presentation of an introductory memo on the consultation process surrounding
major hydraulic infrastructure projects in the ECOWAS zone, by Mahamane Dédéou
Touré, Regional Programmes Manager at the WRCC-ECOWAS,
- Presentation of the draft directive on hydraulic infrastructure development in West
Africa by Amidou Garane, Consultant.
In the first presentation, Mr Touré particularly highlighted the fact that it was in the context
of implementing the West Africa Water Resources Policy that from July 2009 to July 2011
ECOWAS, through the WRCC, led a dialogue process on major hydraulic infrastructure
projects in West Africa in order to “contribute to the harmonious development of ECOWAS
member states and to regional integration in the water sector in West Africa”. The
implementation of this dialogue process was twofold:
4
- Firstly, via a panel of independent experts which was responsible for analysing the
decision-making process and the impact of existing projects either underway or
planned, and making recommendations which were widely discussed with
governments, basin organisations and civil society particularly as regards the issue of
sharing the benefits of dams. This consultation approach, along with the
communication tools, was supported by IUCN,
- Secondly, a study was carried out to prioritise planned infrastructure projects.
In particular, this dialogue led to the formulation of guidelines for developing hydraulic
infrastructure in West Africa, which were validated by the Expert Technical Committee and
the Monitoring and Coordination Committee for IWRM in West Africa in December 2011.
In terms of outlook, Mr Touré indicated that following this validation workshop, the next
steps for finalising the process should include:
- Approval of the draft directive by the IWRM Monitoring and Coordination
Committee: a preliminary examination by the Specialised Ministerial Committee is a
compulsory step in the adoption of any draft sectoral text, according to the current
legal system in place within ECOWAS. In the event, it will be the Ministerial
Committee on IWRM Monitoring in West Africa (with a prior review by the CRCRE
and the Expert Technical Committee),
- The adoption of the draft directive by the statutory bodies of ECOWAS: the Council of
Ministers is responsible for adopting the directive,
- Adaptation and transposition of the directive: by definition a directive sets objectives
that all member states should meet, but the way they do so is left up to each
government.
In the second presentation, Mr Garane presented the draft directive on hydraulic
infrastructure development in West Africa. In particular, he pointed out that above all the
draft is a translation into legal terms of the guidelines resulting from the regional dialogue
process, based on the following 6 main points:
i. Confirmation of the major role of cross-border organisations in the development
and implementation of transnational projects;
ii. Integration of affected communities as the project actors, partners and
beneficiaries,
iii. Ensuring that the various development actors of the projects play their respective
roles,
iv. Assessment and optimisation of the profitability of large hydraulic structures in
West Africa,
v. Capitalisation and sharing of existing experiences within ECOWAS ;
5
vi. Establishing a regional reference framework for conducting environmental and
social assessments and ensuring effective implementation of the associated
action plans.
Following the two introductory presentations, and following a detailed review of the draft
directive chapter by chapter, the main questions raised concerned:
- The principle of subsidiarity
- The retroactive nature of the directive
- Building of Civil Society capacities
- The basin and sub-basin aspect
- The sequence of steps to adopt the two directives (shared water resource
management and hydraulic infrastructure)
- The notion of large hydraulic infrastructure (large dams, irrigated areas and water
transfers)
- Benefit sharing and conditions
- The notions and the use of the terms “prejudice” and “injustice”
- The minimum regional standards
- The conditions for ensuring the availability of financial resources: project promoters
must be in credit
- The three-year deadline for Governments to transpose the directive
- The type of information, who is responsible for putting it on line and data updating
procedures
- Possible sanctions: what will happen if a government fails to apply the directive?
6
6- LIST OF AMMENDMENTS
Finally, following discussion of the content, the workshop formulated the following
agreed amendments:
Foreword
- The signature relating to the directive on shared water resource management is only
justified if it is adopted before or at the same time as the directive on infrastructure;
this will determine whether it should be cited in the foreword or not.
- Regarding the reference to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), also mention
the Sustainable Development Goals post 2015.
- Add the environmental aspect to development.
- Revise the formulation regarding the frequency of extreme events (floods and
droughts).
Chapter 1
- Check the consistency between the term “environmental and social assessment” and
the term “study” used in the document.
- Insert a definition of Civil Society.
- Article 1: “Terminology” rather than “Definitions”
- Article 1: check if the “decommissioning” phase is included in the concept of
infrastructure development
- Article 5: complete the list of guiding principles
Chapter 2
- If possible, improve the term “positioning”
- Articles 8 and 9: propose a support role for the ECOWAS commission to raise funds
for basin organisations.
- Article 10: explain the link between the financing system and cost and benefit
sharing.
- Article 10: explain the link between cost and benefit sharing among member states
and the notion of benefit sharing with local communities.
7
- Article 10: take into account secure access to farmland and the right to a portion of
the revenues generated by power generation and sale – harmonise with Chapter 3,
Article 16.
Chapter 3

- Article 69 and others: harmonise the use of the terms parties vs stakeholders in the
French version and adjust the English version if necessary.
- Article 79: mention the availability of funding rather than its existence.
- Article 66: revise the English version.
Furthermore, the workshop highlighted the need to take greater care with the
presentation of the document. In this regard the following should be done:
- Correct spelling mistakes and other errors noted
- Take into account proposed insertions
8
- Reformulate certain sentences as needed
- Harmonise the presentation of lists (numbering) of proposals in the sentences
- Delete repetitions
7- VALIDATION OF THE DRAFT DIRECTIVE ON HYDRAULIC INFRASTRUCTURE
DEVELOPMENT IN WEST AFRICA
At the end of these activities the workshop validated the draft directive on hydraulic
infrastructure development in West Africa, subject to the inclusion of the
aforementioned amendments.
8- RECOMMENDATIONS
With a view to ensuring the next stage of adoption process and the implementation
of the directive on hydraulic infrastructure development in West Africa run smoothly,
the workshop formulated the following recommendations for ECOWAS:
1. Accelerate the process to approve and adopt the draft directive on hydraulic
infrastructure development in West Africa and the draft directive on shared water
resource management in West Africa,
2. As the two texts are closely related, ensure that these approval and adoption
processes for both draft directives are synchronised,
3. Get more involved alongside member states in participating in the institutional and
financial sustainability of basin organisations, also contributing to funding them, to
9
support, in particular, activities relating to the development of large infrastructure
projects on a regional level,
4. Follow a participatory reflection process on the technical aspects of large hydraulic
infrastructure development projects in West Africa, such the current process focusing
on the institutional, environmental, social and economic aspects.
9- CLOSING CEREMONY
The workshop closing ceremony was particularly marked by the warm words from the
Committee Chair and the WRCC Interim Director thanking all the participants for their
commitment and their determination which made it possible to achieve the workshop
objectives.

APPENDIX 1: SPEECHES
OPENING SPEECH BY THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MINISTER FOR WATER, HYDRAULIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND SANITATION OF BURKINA FASO
- The Director of the Water Resource Coordination Centre of ECOWAS, - The Regional Director of the West and Central Africa Office of IUCN, - Representatives of ECOWAS Member States, - Representatives of Basin Organisations, - Representatives of Sub-regional Organisations, - Representatives of Civil Society, - Honourable guests, - Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is an immense privilege for me to chair this morning, on behalf of the Minister for Water, Hydraulic Infrastructure and Sanitation of Burkina Faso, the opening session of the regional workshop to validate the draft directive on hydraulic infrastructure development in West Africa. I would like to take this opportunity, on her behalf, to welcome all the participants who have travelled from afar to Ouagadougou and wish them a happy stay. I am also delighted by the honour bestowed upon Burkina Faso as host to this important workshop, once again associating the name of our capital, Ouagadougou, with an event of regional scope on water management in West Africa. Ladies and Gentlemen, We no longer need to be convinced of the importance of water for socio-economic development. It constitutes a significant part of social infrastructure, plays a dominant role in agriculture, health, energy and all forms of consumption for human well-being and for which there is no substitute. Water is essential for all forms of life. However, its quantity is limited. The consequences of climate change are already being felt across most of the continent, including in our sub-region, with a drop in rainfall and an increase in droughts and floods. Global environmental changes brought about by changes in land use, desertification and human activity-related greenhouse gas emissions are intimately linked to water and the surface of our land. The ultimate impact of these changes is uncertain and difficult to predict. The West African region, despite having considerable water resources, suffers from chronic deficits due to the uneven distribution of rainfall and water in time and space, the under-development of potential water resources and poor management of existing resources. Ladies and Gentlemen, The construction of dams has been one of the main options for managing water in various West African countries over the past thirty years. While several of these structures bring
11
important benefits and could provide many more for years to come, in particular as regards water supply to rural and urban populations, agriculture and energy, many hydraulic infrastructures have generated multiple and diverse negative effects which can be felt far from their point of origin. It is with a view to being able to minimise these negative impacts, optimise the positive impacts and better manage the construction of hydraulic infrastructure in West Africa that ECOWAS, through its Water Resource Coordination Centre, initiated in 2009 a regional consultation on large water infrastructure projects within the ECOWAS region. A high-level panel of experts was set up, which worked together and formulated recommendations for good practices in terms of hydraulic infrastructure development in the region. These recommendations were validated by the member states, the regional basin organisations and civil society stakeholders. They were then approved by the West African IWRM Expert Technical Committee in December 2011 as guidelines for the development of hydraulic infrastructure in West Africa. The draft directive submitted to you for validation during this workshop follows directly on from these guidelines. The debates that you will have over these two days regarding this draft regional directive are of capital importance. Eventually, our region will have a key text to ensure sustainable development and regional integration in the water sector in West Africa. I urge you to examine this draft document closely and in detail with a view to enhancing it before it is submitted to the next session of the West African IWRM Coordination Committee. In light of the quality and commitment of the women and men gathered here, I am sure that you will fulfil this task admirably. I wish you every success, and on behalf of the Minister for Water, Hydraulic Infrastructure and Sanitation I declare the Regional Validation Workshop for the draft directive on hydraulic infrastructure development in West Africa open. Thank you for your attention.

SPEECH BY THE ECOWAS REPRESENTATIVE AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE REGIONAL VALIDATION WORKSHOP FOR THE DRAFT DIRECTIVE ON HYDRAULIC INFRASTRUCTURE
DEVELOPMENT IN WEST AFRICA, Ouagadougou, 31 March - 01 April 2014
- The Representative of the Minister for Water, Hydraulic Infrastructure and Sanitation
of Burkina Faso, - The High-Commissioner of the OMVS, - Representatives of ECOWAS Member States, - Representatives of Basin Organisations, - Representatives of Sub-regional Organisations, - The Representative of the Regional Director of the West and Central Africa Office of
IUCN, - Representatives of Civil Society, - Honourable guests, - Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is an immense privilege for me to take the stand, on behalf of Mr Lapodini Marc Atouga,
Commissioner for Agriculture, Environment and Water Resources of the ECOWAS
Commission, at this, the opening ceremony for the regional validation workshop for the
draft directive on hydraulic infrastructure development in West Africa.
I would firstly like to express our profound gratitude to the authorities of Burkina Faso for
having enabled this important workshop to be held here, in Ouagadougou, and for all the
efforts put into organising it.
I would also take this opportunity to welcome all the participants and wish them a nice stay
in Ouagadougou.
The high level of the delegates present here demonstrates the importance attributed by the
Member States and regional basin organisations to this matter. We are delighted.
Representative of the Minister,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The executive body of the West African IWRM Coordination Committee, the Water
Resources Coordination Centre of ECOWAS has paid particular attention, since its inception
in 2004, to the issue of hydraulic infrastructure development along the shared water courses
of the region. Today there are many hydraulic infrastructures in West Africa, built over the
years to promote the economic and social development of the countries in the region.
While these hydraulic infrastructures have undoubtedly contributed to the economic
development of the countries that built them, they have not always benefited the people,
mainly due to the lack of participation of the people in the decision-making process.
13
In a bid to better understand this issue, from July 2009 to July 2011 our Centre led a dialogue
on large hydraulic infrastructure in West Africa in order to “contribute to the harmonious
development of ECOWAS Member States and to regional integration in the water sector in
West Africa”.
This dialogue led, in particular, to the setting up of a panel of independent experts which
was charged with analysing the decision-making processes and the impact of past projects
and to make recommendations.
The independent expert panel formulated 25 recommendations of good practice along with
77 measures divided into 6 points. These recommendations and measures were widely
shared with all stakeholders in infrastructure development, in particular with civil society
organisations as regards issues relating to sharing the benefits of dams. This process was
carried out through workshops organised in the different basins.
The draft directive that you will be examining during this workshop is, in fact, the translation
into legal terms of the aforementioned recommendations and measures.
The Representative of the Minister, Ladies and Gentlemen, Over the course of this workshop we are going to examine, amend, maybe enrich and validate it.
As the women and men participating in this workshop, there is no doubt that we will be able to do this with abnegation, commitment and responsibility, in order to provide our region with a text indispensable to its sustainable development, I was going to say emergence.
Ladies and gentlemen,
It would seem an appropriate moment to pay homage to all our sub-regional partners, the panel of experts, the basin organisations, the members of the steering committee, the IUCN, civil society and all resource persons for the many different forms of support they have given to the WRCC during the dialogue process. With that, may our work be successful and I thank you for your kind attention.

SPEECH OF THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR OF THE IUCN WEST AND
CENTRAL AFRICA PROGRAMME
Monday 31 March 2014
- The Representative of the Minister for Water, Hydraulic Infrastructure and Sanitation of Burkina Faso,
- The High-Commissioner of the OMVS, - Representatives of ECOWAS Member States, - Representatives of Basin Organisations, - Representatives of Sub-regional Organisations, - Representatives of Civil Society, - Honourable guests, - Ladies and Gentlemen,
A long road has been travelled since the launch of the regional dialogue on large hydraulic
infrastructure in 2009 by the WRCC/ECOWAS and the setting up of the expert panel. We
have got to know each other over the course of this adventure which brings us together
once again here today.
I would venture to say that civil society has become a fully-fledged partner in this
consultative approach. Indeed, in the context of the Poverty Reduction and Environmental
Management Initiative, and thanks to the Swedish International Development Agency, IUCN
has accompanied this process from the outset, supporting civil society in particular to
contribute effectively to debates with governments and basin organisations, proposing a set
of communication tools to maintain a momentum of exchange among the stakeholders
concerned.
In the same vein, the IUCN has also stepped up to the plate with regard to continuing to
accompany ECOWAS through the Water Resource Coordination Centre in drawing up and
putting into operation the directive which is the focus of this workshop, as the adoption of
the directive is just one step along the road.
For this directive will be a tool that should help to improve practices in the implementation
of large dam projects and their associated infrastructure, an improvement in practices which
shall aim in particular at promoting, among others, the essential role of basin organisations,
fair benefit sharing with affected communities both upstream and downstream, and the
effective application of environmental and social action plans. Not forgetting that the key to
success will depend on the capacity of the stakeholders to share their experiences to learn
and avoid situations of conflict in the field, which occur all too often, within our region’s
river basins.
This is thus a directive that shall invite a change in behaviour which requires the decision-
makers to commit to making long-term solutions, combining national development
15
objectives with responses to everyone’s needs, particularly the local communities who use
the natural resources that are transformed by man-made developments.
Reflection on this matter has already begun with the recent workshops held in Guinea and
Burkina to encourage the dissemination of the guidelines and their appropriation by the
national stakeholders; it shall continue in the context of the Partnership for Environmental
Governance launched last week here in Ouagadougou.
We thank our donors, the UK development agency through GWI and the Swedish
development agency through the partnership, who have made this event possible.
I wish you all an excellent and fruitful workshop.
SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REGIONAL COORDINATION OF USERS OF THE NIGER
RIVER BASIN AT THE REGIONAL VALIDATION WORKSHOP FOR THE DRAFT DIRECTIVE ON
HYDRAULIC INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IN WEST AFRICA
- The Representative of the Minister for Water, Hydraulic Infrastructure and Sanitation of Burkina Faso,
- The Interim Director of the Water Resource Coordination Centre of ECOWAS - Representatives of Basin Organisations, members of ECOWAS, - The Regional Director of the IUCN West and Central Africa Programme, - Representatives of our donors - Ladies and Gentlemen,
First of all I would like, on behalf of the civil society organisations who have participated throughout the process, to thank all the stakeholders, in particular the national authorities through the WRCC/ECOWAS and the IUCN for their determination to achieve a direct and fruitful dialogue among the final beneficiaries and public authorities on large hydraulic infrastructure through the various consultations held since 2009.
The ECOWAS regional dialogue enabled civil society to participate and hence contribute to the drafting and validating of the guidelines which form the foundation of the draft directive that is to be discussed during this workshop.
This involvement demonstrates the positive change in decision-making processes at basin and regional level, for civil society has its role to play to ensure that the interests of the local communities who use the natural resources are actually taken into account.
Until now, these users have always found it difficult to understand all the issues underlying hydraulic infrastructure projects, despite the consultation meetings often organised, and it is always important to try to improve their understanding and contribution through a partnership approach, and this is what the WRCC/ECOWAS and IUCN have worked hard to achieve in this process.
16
The draft directive that will be discussed during this meeting, and I hope validated, will well serve the interests of the basin populations so they can really contribute as project stakeholders and partners and fully benefit, including in the long-term, from the positive benefits.
The outlook is very positive, as the directive will be a reference tool for all stakeholders and I speak on behalf of civil society today to say we undertake to fully play our part. However, we calls on the ECOWAS bodies to adopt this decision-making tool rapidly and on its member states to apply it well.
Long live the regional cooperation for sustainable development in general and in particular for large hydraulic infrastructure, and may the workshop be successful.
Thank you for your kind attention.
