Grant Title: Building Drought Resilience in the South of Angola through the Use of Geospatial Information and Nature-based Infrastructur
Approved Grant Amount: $500000.00
Product Line and P-Code: ASA, P170387
TTLs: Aleix Serrat Capdevila (Senior Water Resources Management Specialist)
Grant Start/Completion: March 2, 2020~August 31, 2021
Grant Activities
Project summary
The objective of this grant is to help the Government of Angola (GoA) and the World Bank develop a program of well targeted interventions to enhance water security and drought resilience. Multi-year drought in South Angola is causing significant difficulties that, depending on the year, affect over 76% of the local population. Some areas in the region recorded the driest season in 35 years. Among the most pressing problems are malnutrition, family abandonment, deepened lack of resources, deforestation, and increased risk of local conflicts. The economic impacts of those setbacks for all sectors are estimated at over US $749 million, with the agriculture-livestock-fisheries sector being the worst affected. This World Bank KGGTF grant will help to get a better understanding of the spatial patterns of surface and groundwater supply and use. It will facilitate the involvement of the communities in the monitoring, management and maintenance of the water sources. It will also help to identify sites with potential for the implementation of enhanced shallow groundwater recharge in wadis or low-lying areas. The activities funded by this grant will result in more resilient communities in the face of climate variability and drought, and an increase in nature-based infrastructure solutions at the community level. This grant will also help with enhanced regional maintenance and repair capabilities by improving information flow, boosting competitiveness, and focusing on the private sector. This activity will also provide the Government of Angola with an opportunity to improve coordination of interventions from different donors and maximize the efficiency of development aid.
List of Activities
- Survey and mapping of water points and their functionality
- Well Inventory
- Spatial Analysis of all the collected data
- Development of an open Map Viewer in the internet
- Prioritizing and targeting Nature Based Infrastructure interventions (community or sub-watershed level)
- Assessment of propitious sites where water resources can be mobilized with nature-based interventions
- Field assessment and verification of specific sites where to build nature-based infrastructure
- Building resilience through community-based management of water points
- Building community awareness and water committees
- Building regional capacity
- Management of cattle pastures and fodder supply
- Capacity and knowledge exchange
Outputs and Outcomes
Output 1:
- 1.1 Development of a well and water points inventory database
- 1.2 Report with conclusions and recommendations from the analysis.
- 1.3 Functional map Viewer online
Output 2:
- 2.1 Assessment of potential sites across the region.
- 2.2 Strategic prioritization of sites and characterization of adapted water resources interventions
Output 3:
- Establishment and strengthening of community level water committees.
- Established mechanisms and links across actors to facilitate information flows, incentives, repairs and spare parts availability
Output 4:
- Report on regional understanding of livestock dynamics and movement in the region, including the pressures distribution across water points and pastures in the region, with recommendations for management at the community level and potential interventions regarding pastures and needs
- Report with mapping of small-scale agricultural areas and their relationship with local food security dynamics
Output 5:
- Active collaborations with local institutions
- Collaborations established between local academic institutions with foreign universities and research centers, including joint research, and research exchanges
- Training program and workshops for professional well drilling and construction companies (sand dams and aquifer recharge) to maximize efficiency and best practices in their work
- Increased exposure and presence in conferences, publication of knowledge briefs and guidance notes, as well as other dissemination activities.
Outcomes:
- Improved efficiency: It is difficult to “shift consumer behaviors” when there are no alternatives to water supply. The increases in efficiency will be at the national level, shifting from a reactive mode to drought emergencies, to a proactive preparedness to avoid the impacts and high costs.
- Addressing the structural causes of drought vulnerability in a proactive mode, instead of putting out fires once the drought hits.
- Reduction in loss of cattle and livestock and crop failures, and avoidance of these very high costs of drought impacts.
- Reduction in malnutrition cases, home ruptures, drought induced gender violence, and male exodus to look for other opportunities
- Reduction in high government costs of emergency reaction when the drought settles inn.
- Avoidance of water trucking to supply water to rural populations for survival (high energy/carbon footprint, not sustainable)
- Nature based solutions use soil and ground storage of natural water from wet periods to provide for drought periods.
- Working with nature instead of against nature.
- Greater resilience: This program is the perfect example of a non-regrets approach to resilience for climate variability, through the increase in buffers of many types: water storage, redundancy in options and processes, local and regional capacity enhancements and connectivity of actors and information flows.
- Working with nature-based solutions to multiply storage options in the soil and the groundwater: the water stored underground is protected from evaporation and from contamination.
- Working with nature-based solution enhances natural processes (water and soil storage, recharge) in a sustainable way and with limited maintenance, ensuring access to water and making rural communities more resilient.
- Community awareness and organization to know and own their water source and water points is key for self-reliance and adaptation
- Regional capacity for works, repairs and spare parts is key for maintenance and higher capacity to react and adapt
- Interconnectivity of actors and information flows are very important for communication to lead to preparation, prevention, action and the solving of problems when they appear.
- Focusing on the water resource, the pastures and fodder supply, and small-scale agriculture where possible this program takes into account the key dimensions of drought impacts to make a socio-ecological system more resilient.
- The creation of buffers and safety margins is a foundation of drought resilience: buffers and redundancies for water storage, pastures, fodder, community organization, regional capacity, interconnections, and increased local knowledge in local institutions.
- Increased competitiveness: The focus on the private sector in developing a regional system of repair and maintenance actors, and spare parts, with community organization (including financial, to pay for repairs), and the trainings and workshops for local drilling and construction companies, are geared towards the creation of a healthy system of actors with incentives to make the system work.
- Creation of a regional networks of spare parts availability and distribution, as well as repairs and maintenance is geared towards small and perhaps medium entrepreneurs.
- The trainings for well drilling and construction companies for sand dam and managed aquifer recharge works are aiming for a more qualified private sector, better capacity and awareness of green solutions.
- A resilient South of Angola, with a productive livestock and small-scale agriculture industry will be the food-secure and stable economic engine of the south and will also attract more tourism than a poor and suffering drought-stricken region.

The objective of this grant is to provide technical advisory services and capacity building to the province of Santa Fe in Argentina. This is in order to obtain implementable and bankable high impact infrastructure projects through the IFC Sustainable Cities program. In Latin America and the Caribbean region, approximately 37 million people lack access to safe drinking water, and almost 110 million do not have access to sanitation in the area. Particularly in Santa Fe, Argentina is subject to risks of extreme climatic events including storms, floods, frosts, and droughts, which affect the country’s population as well as its economy. Alongside these circumstances, there is consistent flooding that affects Santa Fe and other provinces. To help address this issue, this KGGTF grant will fund the IFC’s LAC Sustainable Cities program, which will promote public and private sector investments of resilient urban infrastructures in the Santa Fe province, under green growth mainstreaming. Providing support for the Cities Program in Santa Fe demonstrates a strong World Bank - IFC collaboration with both teams complementing each other’s work. At national level, the World Bank is also focusing efforts on pushing institutional reforms to strengthen the water sector across the country. Additionally, this program is closely linked with KGGTF partners, such as KECO and K-WATER, to share their vast experience in water developments including construction, operation, and management of water facilities.

Grant Activities
Project summary
The objective of this grant is to support the Government of Kenya to mainstream green growth concepts into the Water and Sanitation Development Project and the national sanitation initiative. Kenya is facing critical water supply and sanitation challenges due to pollution, depletion of water resources, and ongoing drought. The Water and Sanitation Development Project (WSDP) was set up with World Bank financing to improve water supply and sanitation services by investing in water infrastructure. The national sanitation initiative focuses on improving key sanitation indicators, in particular by eliminating open defecation practices in rural communities and improving sanitation conditions in dense urban settlements. These two programs are designed to support the devolution process of water and sanitation service provisions. They are at the cornerstone of improving public health, environmental conditions and economic growth in strategic regions throughout Kenya.
This KGGTF funded program will operate at the county and national levels to support both of these flagship projects. It will do this by providing advisory services and knowledge activities to support the application of green growth principles into the WSDP, and to mainstream city wide inclusive sanitation into the Government of Kenya’s national sanitation initiatives. The program will fund knowledge exchange activities, such as workshops, conferences and study tours to foster information sharing among institutions in Kenya and learn from real and practical experiences conducted in client countries and Korea.
This grant is linked to Lending ($300,000,000)
List of Activities
- Support the application of GG in the WSDP project
- Advisory services in development of assessments, work programs, and terms of reference for GG related activities
- IUWM plans in two selected cities
- Advisory services and knowledge exchange to support CWIS into GoK’s national sanitation initiatives
- Dissemination and knowledge exchange of GG initiatives
Outputs and Outcomes
Output 1:
- 1.1. Assessment, recommendations and implementation plan with specific activities to be financed by the WASDP
- 1.2. Two cities with IUWM plans that includes diagnosis, recommendations for investments and policy changes and strategies in two cities – (workshops)
Output 2:
- In two cities rapid assessmet of sanitiation, (ii) CAPEX and OPEX costs of different configurations of onsite and sewerage solutions, and assessment of greywater management and reuse
Output 3:
- One National conference on IUWM
- One National conference on CWIS
- One Study tour on GG related activities
- One National conference to disseminate the results of the grant at the end of the project
- Two BBL/BBB to disseminate grant results
Outcomes:
- Improved efficiency: Most water service providers in Kenya are relatively inefficient. Coverage data often provide an incomplete picture of the quality of water services. Actual connections to a network does not ensure quality service, owing to such things as intermittent service, low pressure, poor water quality. The collected wastewater is typically not treated and generates large environmental and public health externalities in the form of water pollution. The low levels of service typically result from a combination of inefficient water utilities, inadequate investments and poor integrated planning. There is also opportunities to improve under-performing utilities in operational and financial terms (e.g., non-revenue water, collection ratios, overstaffing, operating ratios, and profitability) through water sector reforms by adopting the right policies on tariffs, regulation, industry structure, and subsidies. The grant would promote good practices, approaches, and ICT initiatives to foster the adoption of non-revenue and energy efficiency programs and utility reform activities centered on improving efficiency and effectiveness in service delivery.
- Greater resilience: The grant would promote increased resilience in cities against towards climate variability and extreme weather events (i.e floods and droughts). Through the development of IUWM plans, the grant would assist WSPs incorporate a more holistic approach that considers strategic planning to (i) respond to droughts and floods without significantly compromising water supply and wastewater services; (ii) urban land management policies that restrict settlements in flood prone areas; (iiI) ecological landscaping design to increase water retention and runoff; and (iv) the interactions between solid waste and storm water with urban planning.
- Increased competitiveness: At the heart of IUWM is the transformation of urban water bodies from environmental liabilities into urban assets for cities by improving water quality, reducing flood risk, restoring riparian habitats, and creating multi-functional areas along rivers that provide ecological habitat, public use, and a renewed emphasis on livable urban environments. Experience with World Bank projects indicates that cities that have embarked on water sensitive urban revitalization projects have experienced significant growth, as the population will come to place a higher value to the environmental amenities offered by water bodies.

Grant Year: Year 3
Grant Title: Central Asia Water Resources Management (CA-WARM) Phase-I Project
Approved Grant Amount: $370000.00
Product Line and P-Code: Dropped Lending, P152346
TTLs: Nagaraja Rao Harshadeep (Lead Environment Specialist)
Grant Start/Completion: 2/16/16 ~ 6/30/2017
Grant Activities
Project summary
The project aimed to secure green growth in Central Asia through better water-resource management. Two of Central Asia’s major rivers—the Amu Darya and Syr Darya—provide over 90 percent of energy supply in Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic through hydropower. They also support irrigation farther downstream, helping the Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan economies stay afloat. However, poor water management has led to the salinization of up to 90 percent of agricultural land in these countries and a destitute and dry Aral Sea. Funding for this program will be used to investigate effective management and rational use of the waters of the Syr and Amu Darya rivers, fundamental to green growth for some 70 million people. Through analysis, institutional strengthening, and investment identification in the water and energy sectors in Central Asia, the focus of this program is to help transform the information, institutions, and investments for better water management in the region, increasing accessibility and reliability of water resources.
