Overview of enabling environment and implementation of climate resilient WASH IRC
Presentation given by the Ethiopian Water Development Commission during the Climate Resilient WASH workshop in Adama, Ethiopia. This workshop was held on 23 September 2021.
The Challenge Program on Water and Food aims to improve water management for food production through research partnerships. In the Volta Basin, several research projects contribute to the integrated management of rainwater and small reservoirs to improve livelihoods and reduce poverty. If successful, the projects will develop tools to identify appropriate sites for agricultural interventions, improve rainwater management strategies to benefit crops and livestock, strengthen management of small reservoirs for multiple uses, and enhance governance and coordination across the basin.
This document discusses integrated agricultural production systems in dryland areas to improve food security. It outlines two target areas for intervention along transects in West Africa. Historically, these systems integrated livestock, annual crops, and tree crops. The document identifies constraints like inadequate rainfall, depleted soils, and poor markets. It proposes activities and intended impacts organized under intermediate development outcomes. These include improved resilience options, intensification options, and strategies for post-harvest management. The document discusses governance challenges and opportunities for partnerships with organizations to achieve the goals of increased resilience and sustained intensification.
1) Benefit sharing mechanisms (BSMs) are important for equitable water management between different users and sectors. The CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food's experience in 10 river basins provides lessons on BSMs.
2) In the Mekong River Basin, balancing hydropower and fisheries through BSMs like improved irrigation techniques can generate win-win outcomes for energy production and food security.
3) In the Volta River Basin, research found that losses from small reservoirs are smaller than assumed, so developing more small reservoirs could significantly benefit smallholders with minimal water impacts.
Presentation by Douglas J. Merrey and Tadele Gebreselassie, focuses on lessons learned over the past 35 years in water and land management in Ethiopia. A number of recommendations are also made
This presentation by Ambrose Kibuuka is a part of IRC’s in-house “What’s for Lunch series”, It reviews progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for sanitation and hygiene, sector trends focusing on Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) and sanitation marketing, and how rich nations achieved universal access to sanitation. It also briefly looks at WASH linkages with climate change, stunting, nutrition, and gender and social inclusion. The presentation concludes that unsafely managed sanitation, especially in rural areas, remains a challenge in developing countries as a result of population growth, climate change and the lack of funding for on-site sanitation and faecal sludge removal. Systems strengthening (in particular access to financing) and strong public commitment are required to achieve universal access to sanitation by 2030. The presentation includes a list of 21 references.

The document describes a regional WASH coordination model in West and Central Africa. It discusses establishing a regional space to improve humanitarian response efficiency through strengthening WASH coordination from the regional to country levels. The model involves conducting joint regional analysis of major humanitarian issues, defining regional strategies, and diffusing strategies through national coordination bodies. This includes strategies on undernutrition in the Sahel region and cholera outbreaks. The regional approach aims to harmonize response, facilitate information sharing and cross-border learning, and provide strategic guidance and funding support to national coordination. Challenges include the informal nature of regional coordination and need to build on strong national coordination.
The document summarizes efforts to enhance community resilience around Lake Cyohoha in Burundi and Rwanda. A multi-disciplinary team conducted a situational analysis that identified key challenges like water pollution, deforestation, and poverty. Prioritized interventions include expanding water access, introducing efficient cookstoves, improving agriculture practices, and protecting the lake buffer zone. Lessons learned include the need for participatory planning that addresses communities' water and other needs, strengthens local partnerships and structures, and engages stakeholders at all levels including the media and policymakers. Integrated water resource management is recommended to build climate resilience in the catchment.

This document summarizes discussions from a workshop on equitable and fair conservation at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda. Key points addressed include:
- Research found that feelings of unfair distribution of costs and benefits of conservation, such as lack of support for crop raiding, were major drivers of unauthorized resource use, alongside poverty.
- Stakeholders discussed the importance of equitable sharing of conservation costs and benefits for community support of conservation. They proposed ideas to strengthen revenue sharing policies and guidelines to better target those most affected by conservation.
- Guidance was proposed to help conservation practitioners adopt more equitable and targeted approaches to integrated conservation and development based on the workshop discussions and research findings. Feedback was requested on how to make

The document discusses strategies for promoting climate-smart agriculture (CSA) techniques to strengthen the resilience of small farmers in Niger's Tahoua region. It recommends aligning CSA efforts with Niger's existing Integrated 3N Initiative programs and institutions to leverage existing initiatives and stakeholder engagement. Specifically, it suggests establishing "climate smart villages" as demonstration sites where all stakeholders coordinate to test promising CSA practices. The goal is to systematically scale up CSA in Tahoua by building on Niger's policy framework and leveraging coordinated efforts across sectors and levels to improve productivity, adaptation and food security under climate change.
This presentation was given as part of the EPA-funded Catchment Science and Management Course focusing on Integrated Catchment Management, held in June 2015. This course was delivered by RPS Consultants. If you have any queries or comments, or wish to use the material in this presentation, please contact catchments@epa.ie
It is increasingly being recognised internationally that integrated catchment management (ICM) is a useful organising framework for tackling the ongoing challenge of balancing sustainable use and development of our natural resource, against achieving environmental goals. The basic principles of ICM (Williams, 2012) are to:
• Take a holistic and integrated approach to the management of land, biodiversity, water and community resources at the water catchment scale;
• Involve communities in planning and managing their landscapes; and
• Find a balance between resource use and resource conservation
ICM is now well established in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. In Europe the ICM approach has been proposed as being required to achieve effective water and catchment management, and is the approach being promoted by DEFRA for the UK, where it is called the “Catchment Based Approach” (CaBA). The principles and methodologies behind ICM sit well within the context of the Water Framework Directive with its aims and objectives for good water quality, sustainable development and public participation in water resource management. In Ireland it is proposed that the ICM approach will underlie the work and philosophy in developing and implementing future River Basin Management Plans.

WASH services that last in Mozambique - from cases to changesIRC
1) Triple-S is a 6-year initiative in several countries including Mozambique that aims to improve rural water supply and sanitation services through sustainable service delivery at scale.
2) In Mozambique, IRC collaborated with government agencies and UNICEF to produce case studies on innovative practices in rural WASH from three provinces to identify lessons learned.
3) The goal is to use these cases to inform policy and practice changes needed to shift from project-based approaches to sustainable service delivery models with long-term support for rural populations.
This document discusses ecosystem-based approaches for managing land, water, and living resources across Africa. It notes that an ecosystem-based approach aims to balance conservation, sustainable use, and equitable benefit-sharing. The key ecosystem services in Africa are provisioning services like food, but regulating services like flood control are also important due to climate change risks. Examples of approaches mentioned include riparian buffer zones in the Volta Basin and green growth initiatives in East Africa. However, limitations include weak human and institutional capacities, lack of community participation and interdisciplinary integration in research, and limited technical capabilities of local governments due to centralized structures and land tenure issues. Priorities for scientific research include integrated crop-livestock-aquaculture systems,
This document summarizes a study on strengthening integrated water resources management (IWRM) planning in African river and lake basin organizations (L/RBOs). The study identified several gaps in current IWRM planning processes, including a lack of cooperation between countries, weak stakeholder participation, and limited data and capacity. To address these gaps, the study recommends priority actions such as fostering regional cooperation, improving data collection and information sharing, and building capacity through training. Based on the findings, the study proposes a 5-year program for the African Network of Basin Organizations to provide support to L/RBOs in developing and implementing IWRM plans. The program focuses on strengthening governance, increasing knowledge management and capacity building
Indicators are data or combinations of data used to measure and communicate complex phenomena for policy purposes. They simplify complex issues and provide early warnings. Developing good indicators requires defining policy goals, identifying available data sources, selecting appropriate indicators, and testing them. Biodiversity, socioeconomic, and governance indicators are needed at local and regional scales. Key steps in developing indicators include defining goals, identifying data sources, selecting indicators, and ensuring communication and agreement across countries and scales. Sources of uncertainty can arise from assumptions, models, linking evaluation to action, implementation, and mismatches across temporal and spatial scales.
This document summarizes a study on strengthening integrated water resources management (IWRM) planning in African lake and river basin organizations (L/RBOs). The study identified several gaps in IWRM planning processes, including a lack of cooperation and strategic planning. It also found needs such as improving stakeholder participation and developing water resources data systems. The study proposed priority actions that ANBO could take over five years, such as fostering regional policy frameworks, building capacity, and strengthening monitoring and evaluation of IWRM implementation. It concluded with recommendations for ANBO to take a flexible, demand-driven approach and ensure coordination across initiatives supporting African L/RBOs.
Is LCA ready to answer the growing request of sustainability metrics?PaoloMasoni2
The keynote discusses the growing demand for reliable sustainability metrics in various policy areas like the European Green Deal and Sustainable Finance. It summarizes developments in LCA methodology and standards but notes the urgency of requests may not be fully aligned with current progress. While LCA is scientifically sound, it is sometimes seen as too complex; widespread use will require simplification as well as data and capacity building. The ORIENTING project aims to advance sustainability footprinting methods in response to these needs.

Disaster risk management financing for vulnerable villages and groups.pdfNinil Jannah
This document discusses integrating disaster resilience against climate change impacts through the Indonesian government's Proklim program and Village Regulation No. 20 of 2018 on village financial management. It provides examples of how disaster resilience actions from Proklim, such as drought/flood control, food security improvement, and climate disease control, can be budgeted and implemented through the sectors and sub-sectors outlined in Permendagri No. 20. Adaptation and mitigation actions from Proklim are mapped to their potential contributions toward achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The roles of communities, the private sector, and village governments in planning and implementing ongoing disaster risk reduction activities are also summarized.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
2. Underlying Public Concern about HCVs
in the Oil Palm Sector
• Identification of High Conservation Values (HCVs) is mandatory for
RSPO certification
• Identification of HCV is aimed at safeguarding biodiversity, important
landscapes, rare and threatened ecosystems, critical environmental
services, community needs and culturally important sites and
values.
• However, there has been much public concern regarding continued
social conflicts in the oil palm sector even after HCV identification
that is meant to safeguard social and cultural needs
• In addition, mapping of HCVs has often been based on inaccurate
information and base data.
3. • This situation has prompted some stakeholders to lobby for re-
identification of HCVs
• Other agencies have developed protocols for HCV monitoring that
improves HCV identification.
• HCVRN is working to improve the situation through the ALS.
• Here, Ekologika presents some thoughts and experience about the
dynamicity of HCVs in the Oil Palm development sector and an
approach for continuous HCV improvement through monitoring and
adaptive management

Report of HCV

Public / Stakeholder
Consultation
(Provinsional)
Post Monitoring
11. • Participatory monitoring of HCV has many challenges
• Time and financial resources needed are initially high
• Developing understanding about the process with
communities needs a open and neutral approach
• Community appreciation and spirit for the Village
Monitoring Team (VMT) achieved
• Benefits of opening dialogue and improving
understanding and trust are great
Lessons learned
13. • Past consensus (pre-HCVRN Common Guidance for the Identification of
HCV, 2012) was that HCV 5 & 6 could not oppose HCV 1-4
• Often, there was a focus on socio-economic and cultural HCVs (5 and 6)
that were “forest” based and that were used sustainably
• However, if we are to embrace the values that are to be maintained for
sustainability this emphasis on values that are potentially skew towards
forest, biodiversity and environmental service conservation (that cannot be
impacted) cannot automatically be preferred
Discussion points –
HCV Hierarchy?
Social
Ecological Economic
Sustainable
Bearable
Viable
Equitable
14. • The HCVRN charter itself provides “principles of application” that
encourages meaningful participation of stakeholders and rights-holders.
This covers
– Tenure and customary rights and consent
– Demonstrated right to use the land / water
– FPIC
– Legality (national and international)
• This guidance applies for HCV users (practitioners) and therefore covers all
lands assessed for potential oil palm development, conservation and
community use
• In other words, HCV areas nor the Oil Palm development itself should not
diminish the legal or customary rights to use land or water resources –
without their free and prior informed consent.
• Where there are overlaps in conservation / socio-economic needs /
plantation development aspirations – consultations to develop agreement by
the stakeholders is needed.
Discussion points –
HCV principles of application
15. • Here, we need to emphasize the issue of “informed” in FPIC
• Sustainability is founded on a balance between services that
provide economic benefits, social values and ecological function in
the landscape.
• Communities and the company alike should be informed (aware and
cognizant) of the need to maintain a balance in the landscape as the
fundamental basis of sustainability.
• Areas which contain multiple HCVs, and the use of those values,
needs to be discussed to inform all stakeholders concerned.
• The consequences of the use or loss of these values must be
understood and properly documented
• This is often reflected in the “paradox of the river buffer zone”
Discussion points –
“Informed” consent
16. • Ekologika believes that HCVs are dynamic – especially those
related to social-economic values or community needs
• Whilst all efforts should be spent on maintaining HCVs that are
accurately identified, monitoring through participatory approaches
can inform all stakeholders of HCV dynamicity and changes that
occur over time (positive and negative)
• Participatory Monitoring can update initial HCV assessments and is
the preferred path – rather than “re-assessment” – an approach
advocated by FPP’s monitoring protocol for HCV 5 & 6
• This participation in turn, ensures the implementation and
mainstreaming of FPIC principles and an informed decision of HCVs
in the landscape
Closing points
18. Q.
As the need for HCV 5 might change over time
as community livelihood is developing how often
should a re-assessment for the area being done?
• Routine (yearly) Participatory Monitoring can
highlight communities changing values.
Monitoring HCV is not a re-assessment but
providing information required to adapt
management implementation, evaluate HCV
plans and design in the landscape.
Ekologika’s perspective on
HCV 5 issues
19. Q.
Can the communities continue to sell land parcels of HCV 5 to other
village members or even outsiders (as is common practice)? Does that
result automatically in a status change to non-HCV?
• Land to maintain financial income can be considered HCV 5 from
the perspective of the community - land is need to maintain their
socio-economic standards. Where land is sold from traditional
ownership to investors (where ever they come from) the values for
preventing these lands being used for oil palm (or conservation)
have obviously changed. During Participatory Monitoring, these
changes should be highlighted.
Ekologika’s perspective on
HCV 5 issues
20. Q.
If HCV 5 overlaps with a forested area, can the community convert into
palm oil? Will companies need to reject buying such palm fruits due to
their no deforestation commitment?
• Communities in many parts of Indonesia view forested land as
reserve for their future development. Other communities value the
environmental services – provisioning, regulating and cultural /
esthetic – that they provide. An important part of “FPIC” is to ensure
that communities are aware of these environmental services and the
impacts on their livelihoods that will result if they are lost. The role of
the company to advocate for forest conservation is important –
especially where any HCVs have been identified. A component of
this awareness raising where companies have signed No
Deforestation commitments will be the inability to purchase FFB if
the area held other HCVs or was HCS forest.
Ekologika’s perspective on
HCV 5 issues
21. Q.
• As HCV 5 is can be subjective how to ensure that HCV assessors
will end up with comparable assessments in specific situations?
• HCV assessments should have sufficient consultation with
stakeholders to remove subjectivity. Participatory Monitoring is
designed to improve assessment that are subjective. If participatory
approaches are routinely used HCV important to local stakeholders
and communities can be properly identified and adjusted, mapped
and managed
