The SEEAW in the context of Integrated Water Resource Management Roberto Lenton Chair, Technical Committee Global Water Partnership

Outline  Integrated water resources management (IWRM) -- and the role of the Global Water Partnership  The challenges of monitoring and assessing water resources for the MDGs within an integrated approach  The role and value of SEEAW within this context

Integrated water resources management (IWRM) and the role of the Global Water Partnership Global Water Partnership

Integrated Water Resources Management  Seeks to “promote the coordinated development and management of water, land, and related resources, in order to maximize the resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems”  A problem-solving approach to address key water challenges in ways that are economically efficient, socially equitable and environmentally sustainable.

An IWRM Process is to strike the balance between: China Daily 4 Nov Environmental Sustainability Social Equity Economical Feasibility

IWRM entails bringing stakeholders together Hydrology Water Supply SanitationAgriculture Environment Industry Energy Economic Planning Social planning etc…… Central Government Private sector Academia Civil society etc… Across sectors & disciplines Across institutional roles Need platform for alliance building! Local government

Integrated Water Resources Management: core features  Involves developing efficient, equitable and sustainable solutions to water and development problems  Involves aligning interests and activities that are traditionally seen as unrelated or not well coordinated (horizontally and vertically)  Needs knowledge from various disciplines as well as insights from diverse stakeholders  Not just water: involves integrating water in overall sustainable development processes. Also requires coordinating the management of water with land and related resources

GWP Mission to support countries in the sustainable management of their water resources

GWP Regions

GWP brings stakeholders together Hydrology Water Supply SanitationAgriculture Environment Industry Energy Economic Planning Social planning etc…… Central Government Private sector Academia Civil society etc… Across sectors & disciplines Across institutional roles GWP - a platform for alliance building Local government

GWP is a Facilitator  Assisting countries in their IWRM implementation  Bringing stakeholders together in 60 countries, three provinces and one river basin of China

GWP China High-Level Round Tables “come out with list of issues and collectively found solutions”

The challenge: Monitoring and assessing water resources for the MDGs within an IWRM approach Global Water Partnership

Water: impacts both on Target #10 and on the MDGs as a whole Water: impacts both on Target #10 and on the MDGs as a whole Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women Goal 4: Reduce child mortality Goal 5: Improve maternal health Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability Target 9: Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programmes and reverse the loss of environmental resources Target 10: Halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation Target 11: By 2020, to have achieved a significant improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development

Monitoring Frameworks for the MDGs Target #10:  Established Institutional Mechanism: Joint Monitoring Programme of UNICEF/WHO  Agreed conceptual framework for defining and measuring access Water’s broader role for the MDGs as a whole:  Institutional Mechanism: the World Water Assessment Programme and the WWDRs  Need effective conceptual framework

Why monitoring and assessing water for all the MDGs is so much more complicated!  Overall development goals (MDGs translated at national levels)  Water and development “objectives” related to goals  Actions to address these objectives, within IWRM approach  Targets to make goals, objectives and actions specific -- with defined and measurable criteria for achievement and timetables  Indicators -- to assess progress towards the targets associated with goals and objectives and the accomplishment of actions  Process indicators, which monitor the basic progress of implementing agreed actions  Outcome indicators, which monitor the direct results of actions.  Impact indicators, which monitor progress towards achieving goals and objectives.

The role and value of SEEAW Global Water Partnership

Value of SEEAW within MDG/IWRM context 1. Provides the much-needed conceptual framework for monitoring and assessment 2. Enables consideration and quantification of inter-linkages that are critical to an IWRM approach 3. By integrating water and economic accounts, facilitates the mainstreaming of water policy in economic decision making 4. Enables linkages with other natural resource accounts (e.g., land)

Value of SEEAW within MDG/IWRM context (continued) 5. Enables different stakeholders to have a consistent and transparent frame of information from which to develop recommendations 6. Provides effective framework for considering specific issues (e.g., allocative efficiency) 7. Enables further specific indicators to be derived from it

Credibility and authority are critically important too!  SEEAW has credibility and authority that comes with:  Being based on established system of national accounts  Having been developed with expertise from the statistical community  Having been tested in several countries

Important Next Steps  Further development and testing through pilot projects on the implementation of SEEAW with participating countries  SEEAW Round-Table under the auspices of the UN Committee of Experts on Environmental-Economic Accounting – further promote and implement SEEAW  UN-Water Task Force on IWRM Monitoring and Reporting – integrate SEEAW in set of robust indicators for IWRM monitoring and proposed mechanisms for monitoring and reporting
