Global Water Challenges
Climate impact: Major increases in climate variability expected, with increased frequency of droughts and floods. Heaviest impact will be borne by the poorest, who are already underinvested in adaptation to current climate
Major demand increases…
Competition for water allocation
Impaired water quality affecting all uses
▪ 70% increase in food production will be required in 40 years
▪ At current rates of water productivity in agriculture, we would need to “find” 45% more water to meet that increase
▪ 25% of the world’s food is grown on groundwater, much of which is unsustainable
▪ Global energy consumption expected to increase by ~50% from 2007-2035
▪ Water-intensive thermal and hydro account for 90% of current power generation
▪ Power outages caused by lack of cooling water already seen in many countries
▪ 2004-15 will see 40% increase in urban population without WSS access
▪ 80% of all people lacking WSS access are rural
▪ Middle class emerging and demanding better water services
▪ 60% of urban water supplies from groundwater with incomplete knowledge of hydrology
▪ Ecosystem damage largely coincides with high water stress (e.g., Indo-Gangetic Plain, North China Plain) and fertilizer runoff (dead zones)
▪ Over-consumption of water, water pollution and inadequate pricing of the resource results in loss of massive ecosystem benefits
…with the potential to derail growth
Lack of sanitation can cost countries up to 6% of GDP
Unreliable water supply and farm-to-market access can deprive farmers of 2/3rd of their potential income
Energy security is threat-ened by water challenges; 3% of Kenya’s GDP from lost hydro production over 1998 - 2000
Losses of biodiversity and ecosystem services with increasingly visible economic cost (e.g., China losing 5% GDP to pollution)
Health and human settlements Food and agriculture Environment Energy and industry
Water challenges are growing rapidly, and could jeopardize our goal of inclusive green growth,
implying a different way of doing water business

WSS = 2/3 of water portfolio
Since 2002, Bank-supported projects have provided 145 million people with improved access to water and 10 million people with
improved access to sanitation
IFC-supported companies currently provide water for more than 34 million people
22 million people gained improved access to rural sanitation and 19 million stopped open defecation due to WSP’s interventions
WPP activities are supporting and influencing about $11.5 billion in Bank financing while support to water supply and sanitation lending
benefits the lives of roughly 52 million people in 26 countries, 17 million of which are in Africa

Other opportunities
Formal
Informal
Overview
Tendering opportunities World-Bank tendered
Driven by WB staff
Smaller (often individual consultants); overall quantity limited
More conceptual/strategic
Smallest often through word-of-mouth / informal network
Larger / more significant assignments advertised under wbgeconsult2.worldbank.org
Client tendered
Driven by our clients with Bank staff supervision
Significantly larger overall quantity, potentially much larger
Full range from conceptual to design, supervision, but also works and goods
Above certain threshold, advertised internationally www.devbusiness.com
Further information under www.worldbank.org/procurement
Other partnerships opportunities… Formal
WB-managed Trust Funds (as funder or recipient)
Small Grant Programs (DM, DWS3, GEF etc.)
Co- or parallel financing of activities
Secondments, JPOs etc.
Opportunities are generally published and advertised within
existing networks, newsletters etc.
Informal
Coordination of activities (donors table, specific projects)
Joint analytical and advisory work
Participation in reciprocal events and missions
Comes down to reaching out to the right people at the right time
Networking is key
