WWF Annual Plan 2007 – Mara River Basin Management Initiative iv. Start and facilitate a process to introduce or revive existing community organisations, where forums and working groups have been established, and management actions in the catchment are becoming more sustainable; v. Document best practices and failures in terms of sustainable management and conservation, and promote the sharing and exchange of these lessons through demonstrating measures in the field, community exchange visits and communication measures; vi. vii. Build capacity amongst key stakeholders including vulnerable groups (small scale farmers, poor urban dwellers and women) for effective and sustainable IRBM; and Develop and promote recommendations for the development of an integrated water resource management strategy for the Mara River Basin, including appropriate policies and laws to secure sustainable management and conservation. Activities towards each of the above listed outputs are described in the main text of this proposal. The NBI NELSAP Mara Project is now in its initial stage and has established an office in Musoma, Tanzania. Once this project is fully operational it is recommended that the outputs and activities be reviewed and, if necessary, modified to minimise overlap between the two projects and to develop synergies. Project Implementation The Project takes an integrated river basin management (IRBM) approach. The IRBM approach requires that the Project combines activities in the field level with policy work both at the national and regional levels for the transboundary Mara River Basin. This approach follows from a realisation by WWF and others in the region that it would be important to engage with stakeholders at the local level (field level) at the same time as working at the national and later to regional policy dialogue/negotiations on frameworks for integrated management of the Mara River Basin. WWF-Norway has the overall responsibility for the Project and the administrative, financial and technical reporting to Norad and provides policy and technical support to the Project. Day-to-daymanagement of the Project in the region is the responsibility of WWF Eastern Africa Regional Programme Office (EARPO) with its staff in Kenya (Nairobi, Narok) and Tanzania (Musoma, Dar es Salaam). The Project maintains links established with the WWF Global Freshwater, including the WWF River Basin Portfolio, WWF-Norway and USAID in Nairobi, Dar es Salaam and United State of America. In addition to close links with a range of local level non-government partners and stakeholders, cooperation with government institutions at national, catchment/basin and local levels will continue as key components of the Project. Private sector has so far only to a limited extent been successfully engaged, which necessitate increased efforts in this respect. Regional agencies and initiatives such as the East African Community (EAC) and now also the NBI NELSAP are becoming increasingly engaged. The EAC with its Lake Victoria Basin Commission may well be the long-term institutional home for a transboundary water resources management mechanism. A project organisation chart is included in Appendix IV and further description of the implementation arrangements in chapter 6 of the main text.
