on IWRM and water efficiency strategies:
A how-to guide
![Page 2: Global Water Partnership Meeting the WSSD action target on IWRM and water efficiency strategies: A how-to guide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e565503460f94b4ee88/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Progress
Some countries have made good progress towards meeting the target.
But many more need to accelerate their efforts.
Good progress
Some progress
Just beginning.

Why has progress not been greater?
Uncertainty over:What IWRM means and how it contributes to
sustainable social and economic development What an IWRM strategy is and its role in water
reformHow to go about developing a strategy
?

What does IWRM mean?
![Page 7: Global Water Partnership Meeting the WSSD action target on IWRM and water efficiency strategies: A how-to guide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e565503460f94b4ee88/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The basics of integration
More coordinated decision-making across sectors…
National
Basin
Local
Fisheries
Environment
Tourism Industry
Finance
Agriculture
Energy
Water
and scales.

Misconceptions
IWRM demands wholesale integration.
Sectoral decision-making should be abandoned entirely.
![Page 9: Global Water Partnership Meeting the WSSD action target on IWRM and water efficiency strategies: A how-to guide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e565503460f94b4ee88/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Risks of fully sectoral approach
Sectoral approach
Integrated approach
Overlooking negative impacts on environment and other sectors
Inefficient use of resources—natural and financial

Finding a balance
Sectoral approac

Integrated
approach
Each country needs to decide where integration makes sense based on its social, political and hydrological situation.
![Page 12: Global Water Partnership Meeting the WSSD action target on IWRM and water efficiency strategies: A how-to guide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e565503460f94b4ee88/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Not just about physical resources
IWRM is not just about more efficient management of physical resources (land, water, forests, fisheries, livestock)…
…it is also about reforming human systems to enable people—women as well as men—to reap sustainable and equitable benefits from those resources.
![Page 13: Global Water Partnership Meeting the WSSD action target on IWRM and water efficiency strategies: A how-to guide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e565503460f94b4ee88/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is the role of a strategy?
![Page 14: Global Water Partnership Meeting the WSSD action target on IWRM and water efficiency strategies: A how-to guide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e565503460f94b4ee88/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Catalyst for change
An IWRM strategy can be a catalyst for action and ultimately, positive change.
![Page 15: Global Water Partnership Meeting the WSSD action target on IWRM and water efficiency strategies: A how-to guide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e565503460f94b4ee88/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A coherent approach to change
A strategy should effect action—providing a coherent and measured approach to governance change.
Enabling environment
Institutional roles
Management instruments
Strategy

Not just another “Water Plan”
Differences between an IWRM strategy and a traditional water plan:
Dynamic rather than static—lays down a framework for a continuing and adaptive process of strategic and coordinated action
Involvement from multiple sectors—for example, health, energy, finance, tourism, industry, agriculture, and environment.
Fisheries
Environment
Tourism Industry
Finance
Agriculture
Energy
Water

Not just another “Water Plan”
Differences between an IWRM strategy and a traditional water plan:
Broader focus that looks at water in relation to other ingredients needed to achieve larger development goals or meet water challenges.
More extensive stakeholder participation

A strategy is an important first step, not an end in itself.
Equity Sustainability
Efficiency
Strategy

How do countries develop a strategy?
![Page 20: Global Water Partnership Meeting the WSSD action target on IWRM and water efficiency strategies: A how-to guide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e565503460f94b4ee88/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Approaches to developing a strategy
Targeted approach - focusing on specific water-related problems that are hampering the achievement of goals.
Broad approach - considering the various ways in which water resources development and management have the potential to advance or hinder development goals.

![Page 24: Global Water Partnership Meeting the WSSD action target on IWRM and water efficiency strategies: A how-to guide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e565503460f94b4ee88/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Misconceptions
Developing a strategy necessitates “starting over from scratch”.
Strategies demand immediate and large-scale change.
![Page 25: Global Water Partnership Meeting the WSSD action target on IWRM and water efficiency strategies: A how-to guide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e565503460f94b4ee88/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Build on what’s there
IWRM strategies can build on existing IWRM or water plans, or incorporate water into current national development strategies.
They can also build on existing frameworks and planning processes and implement changes a step at a time.
![Page 26: Global Water Partnership Meeting the WSSD action target on IWRM and water efficiency strategies: A how-to guide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e565503460f94b4ee88/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Link to other strategies and plans
An IWRM strategy should link to relevant national and regional plans and strategies.
Examples: National strategies to meet Millennium Development Goals Country poverty reduction strategy papers (PRSPs) National Five Year Plans or Sustainable Development
Strategies National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans National Plans to Combat Desertification National Plans on women’s development and empowerment

What is needed?
Process and outcomes may differ from country to country but basic ingredients are the same: High-level leadership and commitment
Broad support
Tools, capacity,
knowledge
![Page 28: Global Water Partnership Meeting the WSSD action target on IWRM and water efficiency strategies: A how-to guide](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649e565503460f94b4ee88/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Conclusions
Strategies can take different forms—with different starting points, different goals, and different degrees and paces of change.
All strategies should: Serve as a catalyst for positive governance change.Lay down a framework for more coordinated
decision-making on an on-going basis.Translate into doable actions—taking into account
the country’s political, social and capacity situation.
