Main objectives of the Partnership/Initiative (main level)
To help on a broad basis the improvement and development of RBOs oriented truly to the implementation
of IWRM policies.
The goal of the INBO Associated Program is to support all initiatives for the organisation of Integrated
Water Resource Management at the river basin, lake and aquifer level, whether national or shared.
It also aims to develop many experiments to reconcile economic growth, social equity, environmental
conservation, water protection and participation of the Civil Society.
Expected results:
4 main outputs are expected from the Associated Program
1. Output 1Twinning for direct co-operation between existing, future or pilot basin organisations;
2. Output 2 Mobilisation of professional support capacities in existing basin organisations
3. Output 3 Synthesis of available knowledge and know-how
4. Output 4 The networking of water documentation systems
Main objectives of the Partnership/Initiative (African level)
To help on a broad basis the improvement and development of African River Basin Organisations
oriented truly to the implementation of IWRM policies.
The first goal of the future ANBO is to perform a regional survey of all institutional approach in 15
African countries, which will on a second stage make possible in the future on a sub regional basis
the global INBO Associated Program
Expected results (African level) for the next months :
5. Installation of ANBO in July 2002
6. Information and awareness raising of stakeholders plus mobilisation of political support to promote
IWRM in Africa. WSSD is in this regard a great milestone for the program,
7. Strengthening members towards action and shared experience in the pilot area of FOUTA
DJALLON (as father of most of the sub region rivers),
Specific targets of the Partnership/Initiative and timeframe for their achievement:
INBO Associated program has been precisely set up to encourage direct co-operation between river
basin organisations, and help them progress through exchange of information and experiences.
Members focus on technical, social, environmental and institutional issues. Main objectives are:
-
direct twinnings between basin organizations or at least organizations willing to implement IWRM
through basin management( output n°1): Examples: 1/ twinning between Oum Er Bia Agency in
Morocco and Adour–Garonne Agency in France 2/ proposed twinning between ABN (Niger) and
Mekong River Commission (South East Asia)
-
facilitation of technologies transfer (output n°2 INBO AP), develop public awareness and capacity
of local stakeholders (ditto): Example: Assistance to the Algerian Water Agencies, (French financed
cooperation project)
-
implementation of institutional and financial management tools for a comprehensive monitoring in
the water sector (output n°3 in INBO AP), and:
-
Facilitate information sharing and dissemination of data and experience, and implement an
integrated water documentation system (output 4)
This last topic has already been developed into a complete sub-project whose main
characteristics are reminded below, and which could be presented as such among type 2
initiatives of WSSD

Main objectives of the Partnership/Initiative
1-Todays information in Africa is not easy to access, AWIS aims at providing access to the information
existing in each African country and related to the following five priority topics: institutions,
documentation, training, research and development and data management.
2-Today information in Africa is available in exogenous languages, AWIS aims at provide information on
a MULTILINGUAL basis.
Exchange information and knowledge are in full respect with objectives of Agenda 21 .
AWIS/SADIEAU is a co-operation tool implemented under the March 1998 International conference of
Paris on water and sustainable development issues.
Expected results:
AWIS is a privileged platform for:
- Dissemination information to all water sector stakeholders in African countries
- Ensuring a top-level follow-up of the Action Plan developments, and
- Giving feedback and comments to all institutions on the future programs
Specific targets of the Partnership/Initiative and timeframe for their achievement:
During the first stage (2003-2006), the main assignment of AWIS direction unit will be to define and
develop the foundations of the system, to provide technical recommendations to the Regional resources
centres RRC and to train them to guarantee AWIS development.
Arrangements for funding
Available sources of funding are to be found
Arrangements for capacity building and technology transfer
Training, informational support, institutional strengthening and/or capacity building measures are to be
provided to RRC in the implementation phases.
AWIS is based on expected arrangements for technology transfer in all Africa
Links of Partnership/Initiative with on-going sustainable development activities at the international
and/or regional level (if any)
Operational contacts are already engaged with Euro-Mediterranean Water Information service EMWIS,
INTERDEV, AQUADOC INTER (INBO/RIOB output) , Water utility partnership WUP of Africa, Union of
African Water suppliers UAWS, Réseau Francophone pour l’Eau et l’Assainissement RéFEA with
BIOSPERE (Canada) PSEau & OIEau (France) CREPA (Burkina Faso), Global Water Partnership GWP
SAWINET and CAPNET, Streams of Knowledge SoK, Water Supply and sanitation Collaborative Council
WSSCC InterWater and GARNET.
Monitoring Arrangements
Comprehensive exploitation will include :
- Annual updating with collection of complementary information
- Protocol for quality control,
D:\116093695.doc created Monday, 22 April 2002

RIOB/INBO/RIOC Permanent Technical secretariat
- Permanent enriching of multilingual dictionaries
Co-ordination and Implementation mechanism
Case by case direct co-operation takes place on a voluntary basis. Only general co-ordination is required
by permanent technical secretariat.
A sub regional development between regional members is already under process within Latin-American
countries (LANBO), Brazilian states (REBOB), Central and eastern Europe countries (CEENBO), and now
African countries (ANBO). Another one is under discussion for South Asia RBOs, and Mediterranean
RBOs.
A Coordination Committee is made up of the members of INBO (ANBO for Africa) Liaison Bureau and
GWP representatives (in particular the Presidents of the Regional Technical Advisory Councils – RTACs
concerned), plus representatives of bi and multilateral cooperation donors, plus those of large international
organizations supporting initiatives focusing on Integrated Water Resource Management at the level of
river basins.
A Technical Unit gathers INBO (ANBO for Africa) and Regional Permanent Technical Secretariats,
specialists from GWP’s RTACs and experts from different countries or organizations interested in
supporting the Associated Program.
Arrangements for funding : Each project have to be supported by its own means;
To day general activities of INBO are mostly supported by GWP, French Government and members;
Some cases in output n°1 are followed by Dutch and French government,
Some cases in output n°2 are followed by French, Moroccan, Rumanian, Gujarat (India), Turkish,
Kazakhstan organisations and governments ,
One case in output n°3 is to be supported by The World Bank,
First phase of Mediterranean case in output n°4 is supported by European Union, France Italy & Spain.
(EMWIS : Euro Mediterranean Water Information System)
Arrangements for capacity building and technology transfer
Capacity building and technology transfer are main parts of this initiative. Indeed, all of the outputs are
providing for training, informational support, institutional strengthening and/or other capacity building
measures.
Output n°1, 2 and 3 expect arrangements for technology transfer.
Links of Partnership/Initiative with on-going sustainable development activities at the
international and/or regional level (if any)
All INBO and, in this case, ANBO initiatives rely on a close interaction between INBO members,
GWPs’ regional TACS and future Regional Water Partnerships to ensure adequacy between the
services provided by the Associated Programs and the real needs observed. The Associated
Program relies on a strong dialogue.
According to future status, all ANBO members are members of INBO/RIOB/RIOC, which will allow them to
benefit of the experience and programs already launched by INBO members .
On the other hand, this initiative should obviously be linked with other relevant initiatives at basin level in
Africa, including:
- the African Rivers Initiative presented by WWF (contact Mr. Olivier Nkuissi onkuissi@wwfafrica.org)
- the HELP Initiative presented by UNESCO (contact Dr. M. Bonell, m.bonell@unesco.org)
- the PCCP initiative presented by UNESCO (contact Mr. Janoz Bogardi, j.bogardi@unesco.org)
- the AOC-HYCOS program developed by WMO (Mr. Arthur ASKEW, askew_a@gateway.wmo.ch)
- programs supported by UN-DESA in Lake Chad area. (contact Mr. Manuel B. Dengo, dengo@un.org)
- Green Cross International Water for Peace Program, with its Volta and Okavango sub-programs
(contact Mrs. Fiona Curtin, fiona.curtin@gci.ch)
- And any other relevant initiatives supported by UN agencies and international NGOs
At the same time, and given the fact that most rivers in Africa are transboundary rivers, it has to be noted
that INBO during its General Assembly in Quebec in May 2002 decided to create a specialized network of
organizations for transboundary river basins, which will hold its constitutive assembly on November 25th
and 26th at Thonon les Bains (France, on the shore of Geneva Lake). Members of ANBO dealing with
transboundary rivers are welcome and expected to bring their experience into this new specialized

network.
Monitoring Arrangements
Co-operation takes place on a voluntary basis.
Monitoring of progress in the implementation of Partners Initiative is performed through the reporting of
activities within INBO and ANBO permanent technical secretariat, plus twice a year “bureau de liaison”
progress reports; bi-annual general assembly, electronic updates, and 6 month news-letters.
Other relevant information:
Permanent technical secretariat of ANBO will be chosen when induction will be done in DAKAR July 2002.
It will probably be located at OMVS (ABN being also a possibility)
