Overall situation of the 4-Ps Basin

The study area covers some 12,472 km² (6.9 % of Cambodia’s entire area) and has apopulation of some 143,290 persons (or 1.1% of national population). A minor part of the areais cultivated (with a small part of the cultivated areas served by irrigation infrastructure). The

major part of the area is covered by forest, in various stage of degradation, and plantation. Thearea covers a major part of the Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary and a minor part of the

Lomphat Wildlife Sanctuary.

The area is characterized by high rate of child malnutrition, high rate of infant mortality, andpeoples’ limited access or non-access to safe water (in the remote area). The majority of

people living in the area face a great burden of poverty and poor social conditions. They are

Summary

The present Mid-term Report summarises the progress of the PDA that has been

implemented from November 2007 until end March 2008. The report describes activitiesand outputs achievements so far, issues and challenges faced along the projectimplementation process, and planned activities for the next three months.

The PDA was a result generated from the first Phase of 4-Ps project, and was approved bythe Cambodian government, and funded for implementation by ADB on 19 November2007. The 4-Ps pilot study aims to demonstrate the IWRM options, challenges, andmodalities on a pilot basis. Hereby, the study will demonstrate the benefits of IWRM, andcontribute to a consolidation of the new CamboWP.

Overall, within the first four months of the 4-Ps PDA implementation, some progress has been made in starting the project and conducting consultations for outputs 1, 2 and 3, while

the dynamics of IWRM application and the implementation of operating guideline are planned to be accomplished next. All target activities and timeframe accomplishments areon track. Although there is still limited understanding on the IWRM based river basinmanagement by the stakeholders/participants, it is hoped that with more participatory anddemonstration activities in the next three months, the participants’ awareness will be built,and their understanding improved. Providing current events and real situation in Cambodia,maintaining ongoing participation and cooperation from the stakeholders is a challenge forthe study team.

The success of this project lies on being able to demonstrate on how apply the IWRM inriver basin management. Therefore, to move forwards successfully from here, the studyteam will apply IWRM approach (including IWRM elements) and more actively adopt the

public participation modality to develop the operating guideline for river basinmanagement, formulate project management modality, review data for data gaps and datacollection, formulate the IWRM roadmap, and develop the supportive institutionalframework. The team also needs strong and continuous support from the government ofCambodia, donor agencies, and all 4-Ps PDA stakeholders.

1 Introduction

The 4-P Basin area (Prek Preah, Prek Krieng, Prek Kampi

and Prek Te river basins) covers parts of Kratie andMondulkiri provinces. ADB, CamboWP and CNMC agreethat the area is well suited for a 'Pilot and Demonstration

Activity' (PDA). An application from CamboWP and CNMCwas approved by a Letter of Agreement signed by ADB on 19

November 2007 (and by CNMC on the following day).

The 4-Ps pilot study aims to demonstrate the IWRM options, challenges, and modalities ona pilot basis. Hereby, the study will demonstrate the benefits of IWRM, and contribute to aconsolidation of the new CamboWP.

The PDA has a duration of one year with an external funding of US$ 50,000. Its objectives

are to1. develop, in conjunction with provincial and district administrations, appropriate

river basin management institutional arrangements;

2. raise awareness amongst the provincial and district administrations, andcommunity/farmer/NGO stakeholders of the implications and benefits of goodwater governance and good IWRM practices and the benefits of inter-agencycollaboration;

3. undertake resource assessments and scenario analyses relating to medium to longterm IWRM planning for the Prek Preah, Prek Krieng, Prek Kampi and Prek Te sub

–basins and discuss and debate these with the basin institutional arrangements, and

4. provide guidance for future investments and development efforts relating to watermanagement and service delivery.

Based on the Inception Report, the present Mid-term Report, as one of milestone activities,is due to be submitted by 20 March 2008. The Mid-term Report summarises the progressof the project that has been implemented from November 2007 until end March 2008. Thereport describes activities and outputs achievements so far, reflects on issues, and plannedactivities for the next three months.

2 Achievement during reporting period

2.1 Overview of progressBased on the Inception Report (Time Schedule below), during this reporting period the keyactivities that were covered include those to achieve Output 1, and part of Outputs 2 and 3.Overall, the project has made significant progress over the past four months in terms ofmaking start of the project and consultations for outputs 1, 2 and 3. The dynamics ofIWRM application and the implementation of operating guideline are scheduled to beaccomplished in the next three months. If looking at the milestones schedule, all targetactivities and timeframe accomplishment are on track. It is important to note that withlimited participatory and demonstration activities at this stage, there is still limited



Page 2

understanding on the IWRM based river basin management by thestakeholders/participants.

In this regard, the project implementation needs to be strengthened in attracting andmaintaining active participation of the stakeholders, and this can be done by enhancing the

application of the IWRM elements from the very onset of the project. It is hoped that withmore participatory activities in the next three months, the participants’ awareness will be

built, and their understanding improved.

A strong support of donors to the 4-Ps project is crucial for ongoing and future participatory activities. Therefore, the donor support basis for the project also needs to bestrengthened, and the project needs to be more pro-active in getting engaged with potentialagencies and other stakeholders in the 4-Ps Basin.

Since the PDA implementation started in November 2008, the following milestoneactivities (Inception Report, p.21) were conducted:

2.1.1 The first field trip

After signing the Agreement between CambodiaWater Partnership, the Study Team was formed anddiscussed the project formulation and implementation.

It was agreed that the CNMC Team and ProvincialDepartment will work together, and the ProvincialDepartment will be focal point for this project andmight be the Coordination Unit for the projectimplementation at the Local level.

The First Field Trip was undertaken on 15 December

2007. It was led by Mr. Watt Botkosal andaccompanied by the study team members. The

purpose of the trip was to meet the representatives of4-Ps Basin Functional Water Partnership (4-PsBFWP) which was established by Cambodia WaterPartnership (CamboWP) in June 2007, held themeeting with Kratie Provincial Department of WaterResources and Meteorology and other keystakeholders, and visit the 4-Ps area.

This Field Trip was conducted with the objectives to: Introduce the concept of the Phase II project Discuss the establishment of the coordinating

team Introduce the PDA and seek their cooperation

Identify stakeholdersThe Meeting was conducted in the Meeting Room ofKraitie Provincial Water Resources and MeteorologyDepartment.

2.1.2 Submission of 4-Ps Inception Report

The National Team at CNMC-Department ofPlanning discussed the preparation of the InceptionReport. The Team was joined by an international

advisor who was selected to assist in editing work.

The Inception Report was submitted to the SeniorCNMC Management for comments. Then it wasapproved by H. E. Mr. Lim Kean Hor, Minister of theMinistry of Water Resources and Meteorology andCNHM Chair. Finally, it was submitted to ADB andGWP on 20 December 2007.

2.1.3 The first meeting

After the First Field Trip, Mr. Watt Botkosal and theteam members from Phnom Penh conducted the FirstMeeting with key senior provincial departments of 4-Ps Basin on 7 February 2008. Thirty participantsattended this meeting. The objectives were to discusson:

options for 4-Ps basin management

projects management pilot awareness program

public participation model

inventory of structures and water uses

Mr. Watt Botkosal introduced the progress of 4-PsBasin project and Inception Report that wassubmitted to ADB on 20 November 2007. Heexplained in detail on activities that must becompleted during the project time schedules set inthe inception report and encouraged the cooperationfrom the provincial technical department. The

participants also discussed on how to prepare theFirst Workshop and identified the participants at the

provincial, local and national level (15 participants).

The Meeting agreed that the Provincial Department of Water Resources and Meteorologyshould be a focal point of this project and a coordinating body of the provincial lineagencies.

The participants also raised useful viewpoints of the people in the 4-Ps basin for the teamto take in consideration in the PDA:

The crucial role of the natural resources for the livelihood and socio-economicdevelopment of the people in the 4-Ps Basin, the unexhausted resources which



Page 5

nurture the Mekong River, and the Tonle Sap river and lake system, and theconcerns about its sustainable management.

The importance of the communities roles and their rights and access to use andmanage the land and natural resources in the 4-Ps basin

For sustainable development and management of the 4-Ps basin, the management

strategy should involve all users and beneficiaries, provincial departments, the civilsociety organizations, and local people.

2.1.4 The first workshop

The Workshop was organized on 15 February 2008with 49 participants from key provincialdepartments and other stakeholders to discuss on:

River basin management options

Projects management Pilot awareness program Public participation model Data review, opportunities and threats

The Workshop was welcomed by Deputy Governorof Kratie Province, H. E. Thun Kry, the honorrepresentative of Kratie Provincial Governor andopened by Mr. Watt Botkosal, Director of PlanningDepartment, and 4-Ps Basin Project Coordinator.The Governor expressed his sincere thanks to theADB, CNMC especially the Cambodia Governmentfor implementing the 4-Ps Basin project and hopedthe best results will be produced. Then followed by

presentations made by Mr Watt Botkosal, Mr SokSaing Im, and Mr Heng Rath Monida.

The workshop got: the participants informed about IWRM; the views from the participants on options

for the 4-Ps Basin management and idea onhow to establish institutional framework forthe basin;

the participants to discuss on the modality

and framework for public participation; the participants informed about data required,

and inventory of water infrastructures.Also as an outcome of the discussion, the Projectwas recognized by the participants, and theyappreciated and hoped that the achievement of the

project will be a big help for the socio-economicdevelopment and people livelihood in the 4-Ps Basin.The Workshop was publicly announced by the

National TV media.

The 4-Ps Basin Coordination Team (4-Ps BCT) iscomposed of:

4-Ps Basin Project Coordinator

MOWRAM Representative

MAFF Representative MOP Representative CNMC Representative

Expert group

The 4-Ps BCT will be formed as advisory panel forthe project implementation.

Also as an outcome of the discussion, the Project was recognized by the participants andthey appreciated and hoped that the achievement of the project will be a big help for thesocio-economic development and people livelihood in the province and the 4-Ps Basin.The Workshop agreed with the objectives of the project to promote the IWRM and its

implementation within the 4-Ps Basin in order to promote a balance between developmentand management objectives as well as to improve capacity of stakeholders concerned inthe 4-Ps Basin to manage water and related resources and address the environmentalconcerns in 4-Ps Basin. The participants expected that the project would provide a goodopportunity ever for people to address their concerns and work together for developmentand to help the government in addressing the process of poverty reduction. It wasrecommended that this project would be a pilot for other river basin in Cambodia to applythe same concepts. The Workshop focus on national and provincial policy and institutionalarrangement for 4-Ps Basin organization development that requires a strong support fromthe government and the donor such as ADB).

The participants expressed their concept on establishment of 4-Ps Basin Organization thatcan be summarized as: with high consideration on sustainable development and protectionof natural resources in 4-Ps basin and conceiving the roles of communities and peopleliving in 4-Ps basin have good opportunity to access and control of land and naturalresources in 4-Ps basin. Thinking of roles of natural resources in the areas of 4-Ps to

provide significance for substances of live and itself environment especially for so ever thesource of water for Tonlesap and its system. The concept of management and developmentand conservation for 4-Ps basin requires the holistic approach of water resourcesmanagement that promotes the full involvement of all stakeholders including provincial,district, commune and village level as well as NGOs and civil society. The IWRMconcepts that now introduced and implemented in worldwide, can be introduced andapplied for 4-Ps basin that as a good direction or important compass for acceleration of

socioeconomic development of 4-Ps basin as well as in Kratie province. However it should be applied with the best local practices.

Discussion had focused on water related issues for socio-economic development of 4-PsBasin as found below:

- Water and poverty- Water for food and recreation- Water for energy and industry

- Water for environment and health- Water related transboundary issue- water and Irrigation and Drainage

From the above aspects of the water, the workshop outputs can be summarized as follows:- Water is a main source for development and poverty reduction. As expressed by

participants that available water for supply and irrigation will help people to reducetheir poverty.

- 4-Ps Basin has abundant water resources in the wet season and usually appearedflood but in dry season there is scarce

- increasing pollution by mines extraction in some part of 4-Ps Basin area- water resources will be impacted by next decade caused by significant deforestation

and widespread watershed degradation- requirement of proper management and development and protection of the natural

resources in 4-Ps Basin issues.- 4-Ps Basin might be impacted by up-stream development from the Mekong River.

It was recognized that Cambodia Government pays much efforts in cooperationwith other three countries to work together under 1995 Mekong Agreement forsustainable development of the Mekong river basin and that ensures thesustainability of water related resources in the Basin for mutual benefit of fourcountries people.

In conclusion, the Workshop achieved with an agreement on the project’s objectives. The participants hoped that the 4-Ps project will provide good opportunity for people to addresstheir concerns and work together for alleviating poverty and developing their communities.They also made important recommendations to the team as followings:

1. The strategy formulation for the 4-Ps basin management should be based on theneeds and real natural resources available.

2. A study on natural resources in the 4-Ps basin needs to be conducted.3. It is important to conduct an impacts study of private investments on the basin.4. The BCCD should be established as a permanent committee with representatives

from all involved communities, and its function should be based on integrated andholistic approach.

5. The participants requested to: develop a hydropower scheme with multi-purpose benefits: energy

generation, flood control, water storage for irrigation, water supply, tourism,and aquaculture; and develop capacity of the committee members and the communities of the 4-

Ps basin in IWRM based basin management.6. ADB should be a primary sponsor of the project.

2.1.5 Preparation of the Mid-term Progress Repor t Nov 2007-Mar 2008

The team with the assistance of the expert prepared the Mid-term Report November 2007-March 2008, and it was submitted to ADB on 25 March 2008.

2.1.6 Organizational structure of the 4-Ps BCCD

The Team with assistance of expert developed the organizational structure of the 4-PsBCCD based on the outcomes of the first Consultation Workshop on 15 February 2008 inKratie province. This organizational structure will be consulted again with the seniormanagement of CNMC, and all 4-Ps Basin key stakeholders for feedbacks. It is foreseenthat the organizational might be modified according to the real result ofapplication/demonstration in case necessary.

At present, it has been agreed that the 4-Ps BCCD should have the Kratie ProvinceGovernor as Honor Chair, and it should be led by a Chair and his/her assistance, the Vice-Chair. The Chair and Vice-Chair are provincial level persons which will be selecteddemocratically by the members of 4-Ps BCCD who are appointed by their institutions.

The River Basin Coordination Team (RBCT) from the national level will be established toassist the 4-Ps BCCD and to provide any necessary advice. The RBCT is composed ofProject Coordinator, Representatives from MAFF, MOWRAM, MOP, CNMC, ADB, and aSecretary. At the stage of the PDA, the RBCT conducts the technical study to achieve theobjectives of the project (TA6325).

The 4-Ps BCCD also will compose of 4-Ps Coordination Unit at the provincial level

comprising representative of Provincial Department of Water Resources and Meteorologywhich will take leading role, and other members who represent the Kratie ProvincialDepartment of Planning, Industry, Mines and Energy, and Agriculture. The 4-Ps BasinCoordination Unit Team members are also members of 4-Ps BCCD.

The permanent members of 4-Ps BCCD are members of 4-Ps BFWP from each Prek ( PrekO Krieng, Prek O Preah, Prek Te and Prek Kampi) and those members who represent theProvincial Departments of Tourism, Environment, Rural Department, Women Affairs,Public Work and Transport, Fisheries Administration, Forestry Administration. The local

NGOs, local communities (civil society organizations), and the private sector are othermembers (ad-hoc).

The 4-Ps BCCD shall be proposed to the Cambodia Government on its establishment as a pilot with a Terms of Reference as attached in appendix D.

2.1.7 Other activities

Mr. Watt Botkosal, 4-Ps Basin Project Coordinator attended the 3rd General Meeting of NARBO in Solo-Indonesia, 20-22 February 2008, under ADB sponsorship. The Meetingwas organized by NARBO Committee and attended by the Members of NARBO and otherstakeholder interesting and invited. The 4-Ps Basin Project, TA6325 was addressed by Mr.Wouter T. Lincklaen Arriëns, Water Specialist Lead, ADB.. Mr. Watt Botkosal expressed his sincere thanks to ADB and Japanese Government for kind support andcooperation, by informing that the Government of Cambodia encouraging the IWRMimplementation through the River Basin Management as recently established the Tonle

Sap Basin Authority and pilot 4-Ps Basin in Kratie province. Mr. Wouter T. LincklaenArriëns expressed his thanks to the Government of Cambodia for good cooperation withADB and ADB able to help Cambodia for RBO development and in case of 4-Ps Basin

project, is one of 5 projects where ADB is seeking to supplement the budget by theequivalent of approximately USD 200,000.00 for development of IWRM and InvestmentRoadmap of 4-Ps Basin Development. Regarding the membership of NARBO, it is

possible for Cambodia to propose 4- Ps Basin representative to be the member, when 4-PsBCCD has been established, Mr. Watt added. The Meeting gave very good experiencesand knowledge on river basin management concept and best practices.

2.2 Progress by outputs and activities

This section reviews progress against the outputs, activities and indicators described in theInception Report.

Output 1. A set of river basin institutional arrangements agreed upon bystakeholders early on and piloted in the river basin, including operatingguidelines

Activity 1.1. River Basin Management Options

This activity consisted of developing options for coordinated river basin managementacross the two provinces and various districts in the 4-Ps Basin.

So far, ideas on IWRM based river basin management were introduced, and discussionshave been made on existing coordinating bodies for river basin management. The guiding

principles for the river basin management was proposed. Final agreement on the guiding

principles has not been made.

Activity 1.2 Options for project management

This activity consists of debating options with line agencies and provincial/district administrationsto determine an agreed institutional option to manage the project.

In reality, the importance of the Basin Coordination Committee for Development (BCCD)of the 4Ps, and its roles were raised to the participants, and so did the principles for theestablishment of the BCCD. The structure of the BCCD was proposed for discussion.Based on group discussion, the participants agreed in principle on the structure of theBCCD, it will be proposed to ADB for comment.

The formulation of the modality for project management is in process. However, duringthe First Workshop, some aspects for river basin management were introduced by Mr.Watt Botkosal and participants expressed their support. The proposed aspects of model

project for 4-Ps Basin including research and development and monitoring system ofnatural resources, data and information management system, setting up of 4-Ps Basinorganization what was agreed 4-Ps BCCD that provides a platform or forum forstakeholders, development of 4-Ps Basin shared vision and 4-Ps Basin management plan ina participatory approach, preparation of short and medium action plan or program fordevelopment of water related resources and human resources development, pilot activitiesimplementation on the ground, establishment of a water-use fund to financeimplementation activities, establishment and strengthening public and corporate awareness

and capacity building activities for stakeholders concerned.

Output 2. Awareness raised as to the key IWRM issues facing these stakeholdersand public participation modalities demonstrated

Activity 2.1 Pilot community awareness program

This activity is to determine and implement (on a pilot and demonstration basis) a communityawareness program for IWRM issues.



Page 12

Again, the participants were introduced to the IWRM, it elements and the importance ofIWRM based river basin management (with more emphasis compared to introduction inPhase 1 Study). The training needs were also assessed for building the capacity of thestakeholders. The possible training program with list of topics to be learnt was also

proposed to the participants.

It was noted that due to no demonstration activities taking place yet, at this stage there isstill limited understanding on IWRM. It is expected that the intensive participatoryactivities to be conducted in the next three months will improve the understanding of the

participants and produce useful outputs.

Activity 2.2 Public participation model

This activity is to establish and implement a model for public participation in the project at alllevels of stakeholders. The following points related to the public participation were proposed to the participants:

The stakeholders of 4-Ps have been proposed to the participants for discussion. They aregrouped into two: The permanent members who are directly involved in the river basinmanagement; and the consultative stakeholders who are involved in ad hoc basis. Finalagreement on 4-Ps stakeholders will be made in the next meeting (M2). The permanentstakeholders proposed were all key provincial water related departments.

The stakeholders will be involved from the onset of the project: from understanding the basin situation and prioritizing development potentials, to implementing the project: datacollection, developing models for river basin management and IWRM Road Map. Alongthe project implementation, the stakeholders will be facilitated to express their voices,

provide comments and suggestions for contributing to the river basin management.

The approach and modality of the public participation (PP) was developed and proposed tothe participants for discussion (Figure 2). The approach and modality are initial ideas,which will be explored during demonstration activities in the next three months. The studyteam with assistance of the experts group is getting prepared to take actions.

Please refer to Appendix A for additional thoughts on public participation.

Figure 2. Public participation modality

Output 3. A preliminary assessment of relevant issues, opportunities, constraintsand scenarios for development possibilities

Activity 3.1 Data review, opportunities and threats

This activity consisted of reviewing existing water resource, socio-economic andenvironmental data and information for the sub-basins, determine gaps in information forIWRM requirements and assess the emerging water, social and environmental problemsand the opportunities and threats relating to possible water development.

The IWRM elements and at the same time list of data required were presented to the participants for understanding. Review for gaps of both IWRM elements and datarequirement still need to be done, so do the identification of opportunities and threats.

Activity 3.2 Inventory of structures and water uses

This activity was performed by preparing an inventory of existing water control structures and their

current effectiveness, and of water use practices, in the sub-basins/catchments

The inventory of structures (about 133 operational and non-operational infrastructures) has been done. They will be mapped in GIS layers. The inventory of water uses practices stillneeds to be done.

Appendix A: Notes on public participation

Background

Public participation on a small scale was initiated during the 2007 pilot study. One clearimpression was that several attractive benefits can be achieved in terms of ground truthingand validity of the development planning, as well as the related prospects for timely andsuccessful implementation.

According to the Letter of Agreement, 'once the provincial/district institutional options are

discussed and agreed, the initial task will be to develop a clear project plan and an early

priority will be to develop a community/ stakeholder participation plan, take this to various

representative levels of stakeholders and obtain endorsement of the approach.

Participation activities will be reported regularly to the peak level institutional

arrangements'.

The Phase 1 Study (CamboWP and CNMC June 07) observed that 'the stakeholder

involvement can conveniently lock into the commune planning process and the (new and

existing) water user groups. Both are in an early state of consolidation and would highly

benefit from support via capacity-building and in other ways'.

Approach

The Inception Report for the present study suggests that... a stakeholder dialogue can build on the dialogue meetings about the communedevelopment plans. These meetings involve the communes and the relevant

province departments. For practical reasons, they are normally held district by

district. This would be a two-way process and, hopefully, to the benefit of both thecommune and the province level of planning:

• The communes have good links to the villages and to individualstakeholders, to an extent that cannot practically be achieved by the

province administration

• The province departments of the different ministries are informed aboutnational policies and programmes, and have sector expertise (in-house, orvia access to the ministries) covering for example alternative livelihoods,supportive regulation and new technology

In short, the communes have a particular understanding of the development needs

while the province departments have a particular understanding of opportunitiesand context.

The commune development planning is facilitated by the Province Department ofPlanning and the Province Department of Local Administration (under MoI). It islinked with the provincial strategic development planning process, and in turn withthe national development planning.

Advantages of this approach include (i) a realistic level of effort, involving amoderate workload and without any need of new administrative procedures or



Page 16

bodies; (ii) the public participation being mainstreamed directly into the decision process; and (iii) a provision for routing concerns and ideas into the right pipeline(in terms of sector and planning level): Ideas suited for commune levelimplementation feed into the commune planning, ideas suited for province levelimplementation feed into the province planning, and so forth.

Another attractive platform for dialogue is the water user groups /farmers wateruser communities. This dialogue is mainly maintained within MOWRAM.

A gap that needs to be filled is the dialogue with the private sector, including businesses, processing and manufacturing, and investment. The private sector provides a supplementary (and often strongly development-oriented) perspective,as well as a source of funding that is complementary to the government budget anddonor funds.

A particular challenge in the present study area is the large areas and the small populationdensities of administrative units. It can probably not in all cases be safely assumed that the

commune chiefs maintain a close liaison with the villages (as it is the case in many other provinces).

Another challenge is minorities and re-settled households which are not yet fully integratedin the administrative system, but which may well be in a particular need of development

support.

Regardless of these challenges, it is believed that a functional public participation can beachieved by linking into the commune development planning, supplying increasedawareness of development opportunities (including opportunities that may otherwise have

been overlooked), and extracting ideas that qualify for promotion not only at the communelevel but at the river basin level.

Water-related development needs1

Current water-related development needs include:

• Improved access to safe water and sanitation

• Support in many ways to water-dependent rural livelihoods, such as for example:

• Improved water efficiency: A variety of measures to improve the waterefficiency (output per m3), reduce losses, and improve the added value ofwater utilization or the 'economic efficiency' ($ per m3)

• Coordinated development of water and agriculture, as indicated by the newnational Joint Strategy for Agriculture and Water 2006-2010, which

provides guidance on measures that can improve agricultural productivityand added value

• Infrastructure and trade: Response to the opportunities (and challenges)offered by better road and railway links, lowered trade barriers, andincreased regional and international competition

• Tourism: Response to the opportunities (and challenges) offered byescalating tourism

• Flood and drought management (possibly coordinated with pest management withits partly similar remedies);

• Climate change: Response to greater climatic variability, expectedly includingincreased rainfall irregularities (which will affect the flood and drought risk);

• Support to consolidation and expansion of management capacity at the province

level, the commune level, and the FWUC level• Support to the upcoming RBOs

These opportunities are basically independent but closely related. They can amplify eachother if pursued in a coordinated way. For example, rural livelihoods and incomegeneration can highly benefit from simultaneous improvements of water availability, landmanagement (aimed at a supportive land ownership structure), agricultural technology,agro-processing capacity, transport infrastructure, and trade. This will require coordinationacross sectors and sector line agencies, but the combined benefits of these relateddevelopments will highly exceed the sum of individual benefits that can be achieved byone measure at a time.

1 Like other parts of this appendix, this section is comprehensively based on CamboWP and CNMC (Sep 07):IWRM in Cambodia - where are we, and where do we want to go?

The national planning process

The national planning proceeds within a matrix as illustrated below. The highest (nationalstrategic planning) and the lowermost (commune) level cover multiple sectors in anintegrated perspective, while the intermediate levels, the provincial and national sector

development plans and ministrial PIPs are prepared and implemented sector by sector.

The national planning framework

In consequence, cross-sector development initiatives (suggested for example at thecommune or province level) may well be split into sector components to ease their waythrough the planning cycle, because it is difficult for one ministry to promote suggestionsthat extend beyond its mandate. For example, the promotion of a proposed road combinedwith a flood embankment may be much more complex than the separate promotion of aroad and a flood embankment. This is because the involved agencies may have different

priorities: Perhaps the Provincial Department of Rural Development considers the road as ahigh priority, while the Provincial Department for Water Resources and Meteorology findsthat the embankment must be given a lower priority than some other water-relatedinvestment needs elsewhere in the province. Multi-sector initiatives require collaboration

between the involved ministries, and the decision process becomes more long-winded thanfor single-sector initiatives.

Similarly, the procedures become more complex for development initiatives that involvemore than one province. Once again, this is because the priorities may differ: What isregarded as a high priority by one province may (for good reasons) be regarded as a low

priority by the neighbouring province, and the other way around. What is optimal at theriver basin level needs not always to be optimal at the province level (just like what isoptimal at the province level needs not always to be optimal at the commune level).

successively). For example, a road, a canal and an embankment may be upgraded in parallel over several years, by a short section each year

• Most development projects covered by the plans are small and local. It is assumedthat larger development initiatives are better identified and implemented at the

province level

• For the same reason, the plans have some tendency to become fragmented, and toappear as annual operation and maintenance budgets and damage control measuresas much as pro-active planning with a wider perspective, a longer time horizon, anda higher development impact

• On the other hand, the projects included in the plans have a clear social and socio-economic orientation and (apparently) a high relevance (while, in some cases, thefeasibility and the risks are less evident)

• A scope may exist for a strengthened interaction with the private sector

Links between the national planning processes and the road map

A river basin plan cannot stand alone. If it did, it would have few chances of providinguseful results. In order to achieve its desired goals, it must have close interfaces withrelated plans, policies, strategies and preferences.

This does not mean that the plan must in all ways passively adjust to existing plans. On thecontrary, a positive interaction should be aimed at, in support of a mutually beneficialconvergence. National planning can learn important lessons from the commune and

province level planning, and the other way around.

As an important example, a functional interaction with national (and regional) investment pipelines will highly facilitate the promotion of major development projects that require

funding from national budgets and/or international development banks. In other cases, projects can be funded by bilateral donor support even if these projects are not fullyintegrated in national development plans, provided that they are in harmony with policiesand preferences shared by the government and the donor.

In general, the road from a good idea to its implementation is more direct, and herebymuch shorter, if the idea is in harmony with some established strategies and developmentgoals.

A distinction can be made between vertical and horizontal links in the planning process.

Vertical links exist between the basin-level planning and

• the 5-years National Strategic Development Plans;

• national sector plans and inter-sector plans; and

• the commune development plans.

Many of these plans contain elements that depend on water availability for off-stream orin-stream uses. If so, a resource allocation must be made, preferably IWRM-based and atthe basin level of management.Horizontal links exist between the basin-level planning and



Page 21

• de-central sector plans and development initiatives, at province level;

• corresponding sector plans for adjacent provinces;

• any related development initiatives that affect in-stream and off-stream waterutilization or water allocation within the study area;

• relations with stakeholders, including affected households, the private sector andthe general public.

Institutional aspects3

A supportive institutional framework is a precondition for consolidation and expansion ofIWRM. Recommendations to this regard will depend on the lessons to be learnt during thePDA.

A distinction can be made between 'the high road' and 'the low road', with complementary benefits and risks, as follows:

• 'The high road': Aiming directly at a formal River Basin Authority, like the recentlyestablished one for the Tonle Sap Basin. This can be a powerful platform, particularly ifentrusted with water supplies and service delivery, but implementation can be time-consuming, and operation can be impeded by barriers between the involved institutions

• 'The low road': Strengthening the existing sector coordination mechanisms at province level,and providing a (new) link between the two provinces that share the 4-P area. This would notrequire any formal approval above province level, nor any re-allocation of duties andresponsibilities among the involved line agencies. The benefits could match those of aformal authority, but would depend on adequate institutional support

The former may be taken as a long-term aim and the latter as a short-term aim. Many ofthe potential benefits are related to knowledge-sharing, as much as to the availability of anauthority with a formal mandate. If so desired, a stepwise development can be selected,where the initial operation aims at informal guidance and networking, to be consolidatedlater on with formal responsibilities and authority. In the course of time, the mandate can

be strengthened to any desired level, as exemplified in other countries. It could be counter- productive (and unnecessary) to proceed too fast.

It is worth noting that in 2003-05, CNMC operated a well functioning 'sub-area study

group' covering largely the same area. The study group brought together representativesfrom relevant agencies, who jointly carried out baseline and scenario analyses and agreedon recommendations on priority development initiatives (CNMC Nov 05). The workinggroup had no formal mandate whatsoever, and could not undertake implementation of itsrecommendations, but suitable implementing agencies would (in most cases) be readily

available among the agencies represented in the working group.

Box 4.4: Institutional requirements

The benefits of IWRM can be supported by for example

• networking between institutional actors in the basin,

• formulation of priorities, and regular updating of these priorities, in response to new challenges,new opportunities, and new knowledge. The priorities might be described in an updated roadmap,

• promotion of related development activities, and institutional support to such activities,• a focal point for donor- and NGO-supported development activities in the basin, as well as related

liaison with the private sector, supporting exchange of knowledge and lessons learnt, and initiatingcoordination and interfacing where needed, and

• a focal point for exchange of knowledge and lessons learnt at the national level and with other riverbasins and provinces.

It is likely that such services could add significantly to the desired development at a small extra cost. Forexample, there could be clear advantages (and small costs) of bringing two parties together that areinvolved in related work but without knowing it.

Promotion of development initiatives

Promotion of development initiatives are facilitated• if the initiative complies with national (or regional) policies and strategies, and a

clear reference can be provided;

• if the initiative is supported by all involved agencies (responsible for sectordevelopment and for public planning and investment);

• if the justification is attractive and well described (in terms of local support,number of households to benefit, small and/or manageable negative side effects);

• if the initiative is attractive to private investors; and

• if inter-sector and intra-basin implications (for example regarding water allocationand water sharing) have been sorted out in an acceptable way.

Approach to road map preparation4

The work will build on previous IWRM-based studies in the same area (CNMC Jan 05 andCamboWP and CNMC June 06), as well as on the proceedings of the present PDA,expectedly including site-specific institutional networking, dialogue with the privatesector, and public participation modalities.

IWRM-based planning exercises have been made on a pilot basis in Kg Cham province(MOWRAM, Nov 05) and Kampot province (MOE, Nov 07).

Comprehensive guidance is available from previous work, such as:

• The original national water sector roadmap (MOWRAM April 03), prepared withsupport from prof. Paul Mosley, funded by ADB. This (not widely circulated)document has been carried forward to

• MOWRAM (Feb 06): Strategic development plan 2006-2010; and

• MOWRAM (2006): IWRM strategy and roadmap in Cambodia.

Appendix C: Structure of an IWRM road map

Notes

The following outline is provided as a reference for dialogue. It may be changed entirely in

the process.

The framework is minimalistic. It highlights IWRM at the basin level. A suitable extent ofharmony with the national, provincial and commune levels of planning (and theirgoverning development policies) should be aimed at 'up front', and a steady convergenceshould be pursued in the course of time.

Many details are missing at this stage of preparation.

Time horizons for planned achievements are not included but may be added at a later stageof preparation, if so desired. They are not necessary, though - a clear sense of direction isuseful even if the time of arrival at the destination is uncertain.
