Deutschland - Beratungsdienstleistungen für Wasserversorgung und Abwasser (ohne Bauleistungen) - Entwicklung relevanter Planungsinstrumente für Wassersicherheit und Klimaresilienz in städtischen Gebieten in Tansania (Output 2 und Output 3 von ProWaS)

GIZ has been commissioned to implement the project "Water Security and Climate Resilience for Urban Areas and their Catchments in Tanzania (ProWaS)" in Tanzania on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The Overall Objective of the project is the sustainable improvement of the population"s access to drinking water and sanitation services, as well as the management of water resources. GIZ"s political implementation partner is the Ministry of Water, and coordination subnational entities such as Basin Water Boards, Catchment Committees, Water Supply and Sanitation Authorities, and Local Government Authorities is also key to the project methodology. As part of the process to achieve universal access to water as envisioned in the Tanzania Development Vision 2025, water sector stakeholders, guided by the Ministry of Water, have introduced three instruments as part of the Water Sector Development Programme: (1) Joint Town-level Master Planning (JTPs): Assist Water Supply and Sanitation Authorities (WSSAs) and Local Government Authorities (LGAs) to coordinate joint planning and investment decisions to improve access to water and sanitation; (2) Water Safety Planning (WSPs): Guide WSSAs to identify risks (in particular climate-change) affecting water quality and quantity and develop mitigation measures to address these risks via a participatory approach; (3) Water Allocation Planning (WAPs): Guide Basin Water Boards (BWBs) to make equitable allocations of water resources for different water users and the environment. Note - the CR-WSPs are not in the scope of this contract. The JTPs and CR-WSPs are among the key performance indicators for Water Supply and Sanitation Authorities (WSSAs) in Tanzania and the WAPs are among the key performance indicators for BWBs in Tanzania. The Ministry of Water has requested the Federal German Government through ProWaS to upscale the JTPs and CR-WSPs to more urban areas and WSSAs as well as create new WAPs in Tanzania. The contractor will on behalf of the ProWaS project create 3 JTPs, and 3 WAPs in accordance with the respective guidelines prepared by the Ministry of Water. This will require close coordination with the GIZ Project Team in Tanzania as well as National, Regional, and Local Tanzanian water authorities. The JTPs are defined by the municipality (i.e. town) in a particular region, while the WAPs are defined by the basin and the sub-catchment. A team of national and international experts shall be provided by the Contractor for this purpose.

A team of national and international experts shall be provided by the Contractor for this purpose. Through the completion of the three aforementioned Work Packages, the contractor is responsible for contributing to the Module Objective, Output 2, Output Indicator 2.2, and Output 3 and is responsible for achieving Module objective Indicator 3 and Output indicator 2.1 as described in this document. The Module Objective is, "The framework for improving water security in catchments of urban areas is adapted to the challenges of climate change." Output 2 is as follows: "Water and sanitation authorities, in collaboration with local consultants, have identified priority projects to improve access to climate-resilient water and sanitation services." It is accompanied by the following two indicators: Indicator 2.1: Fifteen JTPs have been drawn up by WSSA together with Local Government Authorities (base value of 5 JTPs exist, 7 others to be completed by project, three remaining to be completed by the contractor); Indicator 2.2 : In a survey, 16/30 stakeholders from Water Supply and Sanitation Authorities (WSSAs) and the MoW confirm the use of the gender-sensitive expert database in the development of JTPs, Water Safety Plans, and priority projects to improve access to climate-resilient water supply and sanitation services (16 positive responses). In addition, Module Objective Indicator 3 is as follows, "Water catchment authorities (3 total) have developed an evidence-based gender-sensitive Water Allocation Plan (WAP) in each selected sub-catchment (3 sub-catchments), based on current, climate-resilient hydrological data." Work Package 1 relates to Output 2 and the two corresponding indicators. Work Package 2 relates to Module Objective Indicator 3.
