Integrated Water Resource Management in the Barind tract

Projet terminé

A novelty for Bangladesh, this project will bring the principles of Integrated Water Resources Management to the sub-district and community level. Poverty in the Barind tracts is higher than national average and water scarcity uncovers economic, ecological and equity issues. Elected local governments will be capacitated to regulate water use and increase availability of water for the benefit of about a million people in the target region.

Le projet en bref
Contexte

The Barind tract in North-Western Bangladesh is a dry area classified as “hard to reach” by the GoB with above-average incidences of poverty, marginalization and water scarcity (the latter as result of over-extraction, changing rain patterns and contamination).

The Bangladesh Water Act, which includes important elements of IWRM and stipulates active roles of the LGIs, has been approved 2013 but is not yet implemented.

 
Objectifs

The competent local government institutions (LGIs) have contributed to increase the availability of water for disadvantaged people in the Barind areas through sustainable, effective, inclusive management and use of water resources.
Groupes cibles
  • The people affected by water scarcity and limited accesses to water resources, i.e. 250’000 direct and about 750’000 indirect beneficiaries in 35-40 unions and 4-6 urban municipalities in the Chapai Nawabganj and Rajshahi districts
  • 70% of the beneficiaries will be disadvantaged, i.e. poor and living in hard-to-reach communities.
  • LGIs of partnering unions, municipalities and upazilas
  • The Ministry of Water Resources and Local Government division of the GoB

 
Effets à moyen terme
  • Outcome 1: Citizens, particularly the disadvantaged in the project area, have actively participated and pursued their interests in the IWRM process and piloted IWRM models.
  • Outcome 2: LGIs in the project area have adopted and institutionalized the IWRM process for improved water related services.
  • Outcome 3: The GoB adopted necessary rules and regulations to implement IWRM aspects of the National Water Act.
