HJKYB’s Water Challenges • Hydrological: • spatial and temporal variability • recurring and prolonged droughts • increasing desertification • Socio-economic: • high and rapid growing population • increasing urbanisation • increasing poverty • inefficient agricultural/irrigation practices • Environmental: • degraded water courses leading to flooding • water pollution & infestation of destructive aquatic weeds • excessive and uncontrolled groundwater exploitation • poor environmental sanitation and hygiene practices D. Bashir & S. Abdulmumin: Roles of Major Stakeholders in the IWRM Process in HJKYB

4. HJKYB’s Water Challenges (Cont’d) • Institutional: • poor & fragmented watershed management (role definition) • inadequate coordination (horizontally/vertically) • policy inconsistency • inadequate stakeholder participation • insufficient hydro-meteorological information • Financial: • irrational pricing policies for raw/treated water • Lack of transparency and accountability • inadequate financing for watershed protection • inadequate financing for data management • Transboundary Waters: • Intra states river systems • downstream of Lake Chad • growing concern: LCBC, NNJC • Regional efforts weak D.

14. Framework for Appropriate Institutional Arrangements Institutional requirements Stakeholders involved in decision making; Water resources management based on hydrological boundaries; Organizational structures at basin and sub-basin levels to enable decision making at the lowest appropriate level; Government to co-ordinate the national management of water resources across water use sectors. D. Bashir & S. Abdulmumin: Roles of Major Stakeholders in the IWRM Process in HJKYB

15. Framework for Appropriate Institutional Arrangements (Cont’d) River Basin Organization • The river basin is the logical bio-physical unit for the management of natural resources; • A river basin organization (RBO) is the appropriate institution to translate IWRM concept into action; • River basin organizations should be managed through interdisciplinary approaches; • The entire drainage basin of a river should be taken into account in developing IWRM plans; • The RBO should be responsible for coordinating development and allocation of water resources as well as regulating utilization according to the developed IWRM plans; • Relationship between the river basin organization and political and administrative units should be recognized as RBO cannot work in isolation. D. Bashir & S. Abdulmumin: Roles of Major Stakeholders in the IWRM Process in HJKYB

16. Framework for Appropriate Institutional Arrangements (Cont’d) • Achievement of effective participation and cooperation of all organisations and agencies at all levels and across sectors would be by: • anchoring the coordination at the highest apex level • creating coordination bodies at the river basin level • devolving responsibility to the lowest appropriate level • developing human and institutional capacity D.
