Water and sanitation Project: Katanga ProjectDevelopment of draft Zero Project Scope

(12 -20 Dec 2008)

High-level resolutions taken at the Steering Committee meting for the Katanga Watsan Project (28th Nov 08) and operational actions taken at meeting of 2nd Dec 08):Res 1: that political buy-in by both parties is critical and the process be coordinated by DWAF as (water/sanitatoin)) sector leader with relevant institutions (DBSA, DFA, GP&LG and NEPAD BF)Res 2: that a Scope of Work outline be concluded by Mvd MerweB (APP), DNel (Hatch) and Lmuwila & ASubasuka (DBSA) and finalised after input by JRocha (NBF), RvTonder (SAACE) and WChunett (Turntown).

Time frames:•Zero Project Scope – 12 Dec 08 (completed)•Solicit inputs – 20 Dec (underway)•Incorporate input – 9 Jan (underway)•Circulate Draft Scope for comments (20 Jan)•Present draft Scope (early Febr)•Visit DRC multi-discpl team (mid Febr)•Present and recommend NBF cross sect- meeting (end Febr)•Adoption and define next steps (March 09)

Background and conceptually, it is important that any planning be informed by the following:

• RSA assumed the Chair of SADC during the SADC Summit from 17-18 Aug 08• Prior to this event, RSA Government Cabinet Lekgotla endorsed a strategy for RSA tenure as SADC Chair

containing several priorities for RSAs role in the region• The NEPAD Pre-summit Conference on Corridor Projects held in Sandton 8 Aug 08• The Corridor that is targeted in this ‘Project Scope’ has been prioritised at the Sandton Head of States

meeting• The need to identify priority corridors in which support from DTI could be leveraged• The DWAF Minister is requesting 3 projects to be implemented during her term (Katanga project strong

candidate, meet all requirements)• The need to leverage the competency and experience of DTI, DBSA, private sector and key role players in

the implementation of the project• The need to execute project within the existence of bilateral agreements on provincial (Gauteng/Katanga),

national (RSA/DRC) and Inter-state (Corridor)• That Council and Ministerial Decision on infrastructure development relating to specific countries (eg. DRC,

Angola and Madagascar) continue to guide the prioritisation of some of the projects to be pursued at national level

• The process must also focus on ‘quick wins’ where early harvest could be achieved, based on circumstances on the ground and not in compromising long-term sustainability.

The outline project scope includes the following key areas and serves to:(i) solicit input from the project members; and (ii) build into a comprehensive

Scope of Work

• Slide 5: The service delivery model for Katanga watsan project (as pilot 1), but pilot 2, 3... also to apply. This model considers compliance, performance monitoring, ROI and sustainability

• Slide 6-7: Learning from the RSA experience - the importance of SWAP approach and PDSUnit – as linked to development in identified corridor

• Slide 8: Recipient of support is REGIDISO in Katanga (main but not only beneifiary)• Slide 9: Economic imperatives and constraints (important to identify upfront)• Slide 10-11: Opportunity map and strategic imperatives • Slide 12-13: Mapping out process that will ensure engagement of all stakeholders• Slide 14-15: Deployment of structures in project workflow model• Slide 16-21: PDSU strategic objectives and framework – towards setting up a central

Project Delivery Support Unit, to expand as other project join the ‘programme’• Slide 22-26: Scoping outline (implementation, establishment, roll out)• Slide 27: What , who, when, ....• Slide 28: Deliverables & Closing• Slide 90-30: Check and balances as comparing project scope against AfDB and AU

What is SWAP ?Sector Wide Approach.... an approach and mechanism that has worked well in infrastructure development in RSA, and resulted in meeting MDG targets ahead of target...

Conceptualising SWAP and PDSU – the RSA experience shows

the importance of :

Co-Ordination of funds

+(Bankable) Projects that consider TECHNICAL,

INSTITUTIONAL, FINANCIAL & ECONOMIC elements across the sector

=Sustainable water services

• PDSUs, aligned with NEPAD development corridors, and applying SWAP

will support countries in developing such bankable projects that will allow the

flow of donor funds – and the gearing of these donor funds – to deliver

sustainable water services towards AND BEYOND the achievement of MDG

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE OF THE PDSUStrengthen regional & continental partnerships across the entire water

sector stakeholder spectrum focussing on:Private sector involvement

Mobilising resources & partnershipsDevelop strategic partnerships

Have an oversight role with sector initiatives, best practices, civil society & training.

Strategic fundamentals must underpin the UN MDG report

The PDSU’s Strategic Framework:

1. Develop strategy with strategic enablers.2. It has to be a multi-pronged approach.3. Multi-pronged approach must create [development]

opportunities. For the creation of opportunities, there is a strong need for financing, donor partnerships, and strong governance.

3 must translate into infrastructure upgrades.4 must translate into economic growth.5 must translate into hunger alleviation.6 must translate into poverty alleviation.7 must translate into MDG’s.
