Relationship between the Water
Department and the RBDA are clarified at
high level.
Continue to inform the high level through Director of the water department and direct contact

Plan to response
Application of methodologies not possible because of inadequate equipment in WD
Model and GIS tools can be run by the
WD staff
New equipment is ordered
Practice of the methodology has to be developed
Time consuming Production of manuals, On-the-job in small groups including application of methodologies in practical case
For the use of sophisticated tools, a long practice is needed before the tools can be used properly.
The technical background of the
staff is sufficient for the use of the tools
Prepare ToR for sub-contracting when needed, work to be done using modellingFollow up missions
Absorption capacity is not high ( little number of persons among partners organisation)
Recruitment of qualified new civil servants

MANAGEMENT ISSUES - CONCLUSIONS
• mid-term review of the project with the partners provide opportunities to propose step to increase project impact : sustainability plan proposed to be developed (October 09)
• KE3 replaced, ground water aspects will progress
• Demand from the partner to practice more the methodologies and tools developed through on the job training in small groups with project experts
• First study tour was very much appreciated other study tours are planned on institutional aspects, hydrology
• New pilot exercises for summer 2009 – flooding risks mapping, – ground water acquisition, – biological analyses, – acquisition of data for modelling
