Community-Driven MUS for Sustainable Water Management in SADC Region

DESCRIPTION

This program supports Community-Driven Multiple-Use Systems to enhance water resource efficiency, resilience, and livelihood benefits, prioritizing the poorest and women. It focuses on building robust local institutions and scalable nation-wide approaches, integrating full water cycles and multiple sources for resilience and sustainability. By tapping into local technical knowledge and considering long-term visions, the program aims to maximize infrastructure efficiency and avoid damage, providing integrated water self-supply for various needs while promoting gender and wealth equity in water use.

  1. Regional Water Sector Programme Programme Support Facility A SADC initiative funded by Danida • Community-driven MUS • What and Why? • Based onMUS Project CPWF28 • SADC/DANIDA IWRM Demonstration projects

  2. More livelihood benefits for own priorities, especially by the poorest and women (if targeted) • More water resource and technological efficiency & resilience • Stronger and more sustainable local institutions • ‘Local government planning–plus’: scalable nation-wide

  3. Including the marginalized from earliest planning onwards (e.g. in technology choice and site selection) • Multiple uses for all MDGs • Priority uses by gender, wealth& livelihood (priority for homestead-scale MUS?)Priority interventions in longer-term vision

  4. taking all existing infrastructure as sunk costs • tapping local technical knowledge • integrating full water cycle: (re-) use & waste • combining multiple sources for resilience • considering full project cycle, incl. maintenance and rehabilitation • economies of scale in infrastructure • avoiding infrastructure damage of non-planned uses

  5. building on century-old institutional capital for integrated water self-supply for multiple uses from multiple sources • integrating new institutions (‘water committees’ ) in one-window participatory processes

  6. Local government’s mandate: • service delivery • resource management • accountability and transparency • local knowledge and relationships • cost-effectiveness • sustainability
