5 Water a vital resource for Africa water is and must remain a key to sustainable development in Africa, and that water supply and sanitation are prerequisites for Africa s human capital development. Sharm El-Shiekh Declaration, 11 th African Union Summit (2008)

6 Water is at the core of sustainable development Water is at the core of sustainable development. It is thus important to ensure that both a stand-alone water goal and a comprehensive concept of water, energy and food security as part of the post 2015 sustainable development agenda EU DEVCO Commissioner Neven Mimica in 2015

10 Changing Paradigm and the Needs for IWRM Water resources for economic growth Construction of water supply facilities Water treatment facility expansion Simple engineering problem Government-led management Water for sustainable development & management Water supply and demand management Considering environment and ecology Multi-sectoral problem (social, econo., & env.) Participation of interested parties(consensus) Basinwide IWRM considering surface/groundwater, quantity/quality, water and adjacent land (Agenda 21 from UNCED, 1992)

11 Navigation Practitioners Fishery Practitioners Water for livestock Irrigation Practitioners Flood / drought Managers Domestic Water Suppliers Industrial Water Suppliers Overall Coordinators Coordination Hydropower Practitioners Environmental Managers Other Sectors? Sewerage (Sanitation) / Drainage Practitioners

12 IWRM "a process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources in order to maximise the resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems." (Global Water Partnership Technical Advisory Committee, 2000)

13 Real Integration Integrating all water related sectors and stakeholders Integrating cultural and gender aspects Integrating upstream/downstream Integrating policies and Plans Integrating climate change

14 Real Integration Integrating quantity and quality Management of quantity and quality is crucial and linked Integrating surface water and groundwater Conjunctive use of both surface and groundwater Integrating approach for floods and droughts management Floods and droughts should be management in an integrated manner Integrating Supply/Demand management

21 ADG/SC JRC Meeting ( ) NATURAL SCIENCES SDG 6.5.2: Proportion of transboundary basin areas with an operational arrangement for water Sources: a) UNESCO-IHP and IGRAC: Transboundary Aquifers of the World (Map 2015), b) GEF / UNEP-DHI: : Transboundary Waters Assessment Programme (TWAP) Globally exist : 592 Transboundary aquifers and 286 international river basins Among the 153 countries sharing transboundary waters 103 responded to the questionnaire Number of validated reports: - 60 for Surface water and Groundwater - 80 for Surface Water - 62 for Groundwater 21

22 Information Meeting IHP ( ) SDG 6 Synthesis Report for HLPF 2018 NATURAL SCIENCES UN-Water Task Force Members of Taskforce include: CEO Water Mandate, FAO, ILO, UNDP, UNECE, UNEP, UNESCO (WWAP, coordinator), UN-HABITAT, UNICEF, UNU, UN-Water TAU, WHO, WMO, World Bank Data Analysis supported by CDP, PIK, UNESCO-IHP Objectives: Provide the Global Status of SDG 6, Explore the inter/intra-linkages between SDG 6 and SDG targets and indicators, Provide policy and decision makers with the big picture on water and sanitation issues, and Provide policy recommendations on the acceleration of SDG 6 in the overall Agenda 2030 context. Added Value: United Nations speaking with one voice on SDG 6 Avoids a fragmented approach on SDG 6 reporting Analyse data, information and policy linkages between different SDGs 22

23 Way forward More efforts needed in achieving water access and sanitation for All Continue promoting true IWRM for sustainable and peaceful water resources management Investing in data for improved knowledge base for evidence base decision making Skilled water professionals are needed
