Abstract | A workshop was held for the stakeholders in the water sector and related agencies on developing the Roadmap for Integrated Water Resources Management and Water Efficiency (IWRM-WE) Plan for Lesotho in response to the obligation under the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation (JPOI). Lesotho is one of the SADC countries receiving support from the UNEP Collaborating Centre on Water and Environment (UCC) through the SADC Water Division and the Global Water Partnership Southern Africa (GWP-SA) to develop a Roadmap to IWRM-WE Plan. The Water Commission in collaboration with the Lesotho Water Partnership (LWP) hosted the workshop. Presentations were made by the GWP-SA, the Regional Consultant, the UCC-Water representative and the National Consultant. Discussions were held on the presentations to establish how to move forward with the development of the Roadmap according to the present status of IWRM activities in Lesotho. Participants discussed in groups’ sessions the elements under the three change areas of IWRM Planning: Enabling Environment, Institutional Frameworks and Management Instruments. Recommendations were made on various elements under these change areas as they apply in Lesotho. [authors abstract] |
