2. Japanese ODA and JICA JICA
JICA is the implementing agency of Japanese bilateral ODA
An agreement between governments of a recipient country and Japan, based on an official request through the diplomatic channel, is a prerequisite

3. Supporting AfWCCI: JICA’s Expectations
Positive Aspects
Water Resources Management: one of the JICA’s priorities
In line with the Japan’s initiative in GEOSS
Appealing commitment in TIVAD V (5th Tokyo International Conference on African Development)
Limitations
Limited experience of working with regional institutions
Formality of bilateral assistance (i.e. bilateral governmental agreement)
Your suggestions are welcome!

4. What can JICA do to support AfWCCI?
Technical Cooperation that can include:
dispatch of JICA experts
training of recipient institutions’ officials either in Japan, in the third countries or locally
supply of equipment
financial assistance
Common form of JICA’s Technical Cooperation for Water Resources Management (WRM)
Formulation of a specific or comprehensive WRM plan with capacity development

5. JICA’s support to WRM: 3 cases
Formulation of a specific WRM plan
Flood management plan in Medjerda River Basin, Tunisia
Formulation of a comprehensive WRM plan
National water resources master plan in Kenya
Case 2
Formulation of a comprehensive WRM plan with more focus on capacity development
National water resources management and development master in Nigeria
Case 3

6. Flood Control Project for the Medjerda River Basin
Case 1: Tunisia
Flood Control Project for the Medjerda River Basin
1. Background
Increasing Flood events in the lower basin. (‘03, ‘04, ‘05, ’09 and ‘ No flood between ‘81 - ‘02. )
Tunis
Tunisia
2. Objectives
Determination of design flood discharge (10-year return period)
Development of flood control measures (structural & non-structural)
3. Features
Generation of spatiotemporal rainfall data
from daily rain-gauge data
Application of advanced hydrological model
(WEB-DHM: Wang, Koike et al., 2009)
Rain-gauge stations
Spatially continuous
hourly rainfall data
Simulation results by:
Interpolation of daily rainfall into hourly
MIKE BASIN
WEB-DHM
Future rainfall estimation with GCM results also to be incorporated…

9. National WR Master Plan taking climate change into account
Case 2: Kenya
National WR Master Plan taking climate change into account
To assess and evaluate availability, reliability, quality, and vulnerability of country’s water resources up to 2050 and recommend sound development and management of WR
