CIWA 2.0: A Decade of Cooperation on Climate-Resilient Development






              4     Scaling up influence and leveraging regional projects

                    One  of  CIWA’s  major  advantages  is  that  it  is  nimble  and  flexible  in  its  partnerships;  however,
                    scaling up CIWA’s results depends on additional IDA financing and lending. In line with change #1,
                    CIWA is committed to ramping up results and having its investments mobilized such as through
                    World  Bank  lending  or  other  funding  streams.  However,  until  recently,  the  IDA  has  not  directed
                    much financing for regional integration to water projects. The World Bank is now funding (through
                    national  and  regional  integration  funds)  two  large  CIWA-influenced  Multiphase  Programmatic
                    Approaches  (MPAs)—  the  HoA  Groundwater  for  Resilience  (GW4R)  and  the  Regional  Climate
                    Resilience Program (RCRP). There is pipeline scaling up of regional integration financing for two
                    more programs (the Development Resilience and Valorization of Transboundary Water for West
                    Africa [DREVE] and Lake Victoria Basin Sanitation programs) that were heavily influenced by CIWA.

                    CIWA 2.0 will prioritize work that can be readily scaled up through pipeline lending.

              5      Enhanced bottom-up approach.

                    CIWA will double down on its approach to subsidiarity, further expanding its work to elevate the
                    role  of  communities  and  civil  society  in  peace  building,  water  management,  and  security  and
                    democratizing  information  about  climate  resilience  and  regional  public  goods.  CIWA  has  an
                    excellent  track  record  of  partner  diversification  and  stakeholder  vertical  integration.  CIWA  has
                    supported the NBD through both Bank-executed and recipient-executed grants for over a decade,
                    and in 2022 began taking steps to expand the work with civil society to West and Central Africa.
                    Recent support to the large MPAs brings activities on community engagement for groundwater
                    management to the Horn of Africa Borderlands and to a new program in Southern Africa under the
                    RCRP involving a regional community cooperation platform on flood preparedness.
