1 Water Governance Initiative WG 3 Basin Governance Indicators of Basin Water Governance Daniel VALENSUELA of Basin 15/05/2014 1

2 Preliminary considerations 15/05/2014 2

3 Basin: all categories Surface & Ground Waters Transboundary or National Notion of Basin de l Eau PARIS National Transboundary Hydrographical Basins Large Basin & Sub-basin basin Réseau des Organismes de Bassin Rivers Lakes Aquifers 15/05/

4 Basin Management de l Eau PARIS Basin Organisation Management and Basin Management Réseau des Organismes de Bassin B. O. Management Structure (organisation, commission, authority) Statute Role in the landscape Governance Finance management, Accounts Staff Human resource management Basin Management Water management River basin or Aquifer or Lake Land, Forest, Urban Mgt Rules, regulation Institutional structure or organisation Allocation, Quality Planning IWRM 15/05/

5 Functions according to the mandate Information Knowledge Prevention Protection Conservation Ecosystem Conflict Resolution Monitoring Control Planning The mandate should clearly identify the TBO role in the context Financing Allocation Equipment Maintenance Operation 15/05/2014 5

6 Evolution in water management Management area Water From river Water from river + tributaries Water from river + tributaries + ecosystems Water from river & tributaries + ecosystems + groundwater Basin GW + SW + Territory management Links with impacting activities and developments + 15/05/2014 6

7 Performance indicators for IWRM in Basins Based on project "Development of performance indicators for IWRM in transboundary basins" (KPI project) / /05/2014 7

8 Performance indicators for IWRM in Basins Based on project "Development of performance indicators for IWRM in African transboundary basins" /05/2014 8

9 Performance indicators for IWRM in Basins 15/05/2014 9

10 Performance indicators for IWRM in Basins Indicators for assessing the quality of governance implementation at basin organization scale (whatever the type of Organization) Use a self-assessment or external assessment, or mixing self- evaluation and external evaluation Pragmatism 15/05/

11 9 themes or groups of indicators identified Score for each indicator ( 0-5 ) Adapted to: Performance indicators for IWRM in Basins Transboundary basin National basin 15/05/

12 Communication Planning Information & Data Functional Coordination Financing mechanisms Representation & Participation Structures Legal Framework 15/05/2014 Political process 12

13 Political process Political Commitment Benefit Sharing Commitment in governance and operation of the BO Mechanism for equitable benefit sharing Commitment to implement integrated basin management 15/05/

14 Financing mechanisms Financing Efficiency Coordination with Donors Continuity of finance of the basin structure BO Operating costs & Finance mobilized BO Budget & water quantity to manage Activities with donors to ensure consistency of programs/ projects Means in place for sustainable financing Finance mobilized according to the Plan User / Polluter pays Effective contribution of users (operation / invests) Water pays Maintenance of user contribution at basin scale 15/05/

15 Example of table Result for Indicator Signification of each Indicator Efficiency the Theme Evidence, Elements proving (if absence, note is 0) Political commitment Benefits sharing Political commitment of States in the governance & running of the TBO Mechanisms of equitable sharing of benefits drawed from water resource use in riparian countries 15/05/

16 Structure & Basin Committee Organisation & Staff Decision structures Secretariat existing, running with permanent staff Degree of development of the secretariat according the functions Basin committe & decision roles Effectiveness Existence of intermediate groups Effectiveness Reality & Strenght of coordination surface & ground water 15/05/

17 Representation & Participation Representation in BO Participation of water users Balance in political & technical representation Participation mechanisms for users at local level Quality representativeness (mechanism, skill ) Balance among politicians, stakeholders, technical Effectiveness Quantitative & qualitative degree of participation in various groups 15/05/

18 Legal framework Legislation at BO level Legal framework for mandate, BO structure, financial mechanisms, integrated water management Coherence among national / regional legislation Mutual consistency of national legislation on the water with the texts carried by the basin organization Legislative framework for the national BO 15/05/

19 Planning Planning process Decision process for infrastructures Implementation plan Clarity of objectives, benefit sharing goals, priorities, set out in an integrated surface & groundwater LT basin management plan Consistency of the decision process of large infrastructures with international recommendations (transparency, benefit sharing, sustainability ) Implementation milestones basin management plan 15/05/

20 Functional coordination National / regional Interface Coordination tools Global reporting mechanisms Design & operation of national and subnational relay structures that serve as a link with the TBO Operation of technical tools for consultation and joint action programs to manage all waters within and between riparian countries (allocation, coordinated management structures,... ) Reporting mechanisms of the BO to the government officials on the achievements 15/05/

21 Communication & Information system Information Management System Protocol Information Management Communication Shared surface water and groundwater information system to aid decision making Protocols specifying the types of information needed, presentation and methods of exchange of information'' in the system management information from the basin organization Internal communication procedures External Communication Procedures for external communication in the basin 15/05/

22 Can be used Performance indicators for IWRM in Basins for identifying Strengths and Weaknesses in Water Governance in one Basin Organization or for making comparisons of Governance between several Basin 15/05/

23 SIMPLE REALISTIC RELIABLE NOT TOO MANY LOW COST Indicators COMPLEXITY to reflected USEFUL UNDERSTANDABLE RELIABLE ENOUGH COST EFFECTIVE TOP DOWN BOTTOM UP 15/05/
