• Towards sustainable water resources development and management (EC & DFID)
• GWP Framework for Action: Towards water security (2WWF, 2000)
• Putting principles into practice => Samoa
Background
Page 3
Samoa
Page 4
• Fragmented control, management and protection of water resources• Competing and conflicting demands for water resources by users (both
consumptive and non-consumptive users)• Insufficient knowledge and understanding of water resources;• Social and environmental impacts of development proposals particularly
abstractions are usually ignored• Declining water quality• Excessive demand on water supply• Lack of community understanding and appreciation of responsible water
management• Limited community involvement in water resource management
Challenges
Page 5
• Access to safe water supply and basic sanitation is a critical factor in achieving improved public health
Re-assessing priorities
Page 6
• Access to safe water supply and basic sanitation is a critical factor in achieving improved public health
• Sustainable water management … • Sustainable water management and development extends
well beyond public health alone• It contributes to a much wider social, economic and
environmental development agendas• Water is linked to the achievement of most national
development goals (and all the MDGs)
• => Sustainable water management as a national priority
Re-assessing priorities

More than a just a set of projects• Based on a single, agreed vision for the
future of the sector• Cuts across the usual intra- and inter-sectoral
boundaries• Pools all resources to achieve a common
plan of action • Requires input from all stakeholders to
realise the vision

Once upon a time …
Page 27
…everyone went their own way.
Page 28
Some went this way…
Page 29
… and some went that way.
Page 30
Some travelled quickly …
Page 31
… but many travelled slowly.
Page 32
Everyone went …
Page 33
… to different places …
Page 34
… doing different things…
Page 35
… with different people…
Page 36
… for different reasons
Page 37
… and different priorities.
Page 38
Then, one day …
Page 39
… along came the “water sector” bus
Page 40
…everyone got on board...
Page 41
…and travelled together.
Page 42
It had one road-map …
Page 43
…everyone agreed the way…
Page 44
The road was less congested ….
Page 45
… and there were fewer collisions.
Page 46
All the fuel-stops ….
Page 47
… filled one tank ….
Page 48
… to drive one engine …
Page 49
… to turn all the wheels …
Page 50
… to deliver everyone…
Page 51
… to the agreed destination.
Page 52
So they all arrived together…
Page 53
…to see their joint vision…
Page 54
… of pristine catchments
Page 55
… clean rivers
Page 56
… safe drinking water
Page 57
… and healthy children
Page 58
… and they all lived …
Page 59
… happily ever after.

Who got on board?• Politicians• Government ministries & departments• State-owned enterprises• NGOs and community leaders• Private sector• Regional organisations• Donors
Water for Life process
Page 64
• Over the period 2005-2010 more than $125 million tala will be invested in the water sector
• Sources include:• Ministry/Agency budgets• Community Service Obligations• European Commission• ADB, and others
How much fuel?
Page 65
• Government leadership of the process is essential to maintain co-ordination and integration
• But many different actors have roles and responsibilities to fulfil
• Approach based on integration and the core principles of sustainable water resource management and development
• Consultation is one of the keys to success

A clear sector policy and strategy:• to know what government is aiming to achieve in the
sector and how.A medium term expenditure programme:
• to clarify what is the expected level of internal and external resources and how these will be utilised
A performance monitoring system• to measure progress towards the achievement of policy
objectives and targeted results. A strong institutional capacity
• to plan, manage and implement the sector policy and action programme
Basic elements as good practice
Page 90
• Develop skills and systems progressively to meet needs as an integrated approach grows and mature
• Work with realistic timeframes, change is not easy, and be realistic with expectations
• Marry top-down with bottom-up, requires policy/strategy initiatives but also need to demonstrate and learn
• People make the difference, it requires champions and leaders, as well as involving people out of the ‘water’ box
• Communication needs to be in the right language for the right people – the emerging role of ‘translators’
• Stakeholder engagement and communication are key to success – bring them in from the start
• Information needs to be shared widely among all stakeholders, and freely available
• Uncertainty is integral in water management, use risk-based approaches to ensure no-regret solutions
Lessons learned in the Pacific

• GWP-C Learning Review is both retrospective and
progressive
• Learning review aims to:− Help GWP-C strengthen its programme and impact− Assess whether it is doing its work efficiently and effectively− Assess its institutional health
• Where should GWP-C be focusing its efforts?
• What strategic alliances required?
• Where can GWP-C bring the most added-value?
