Abstract:
Water management remains the critical factor in the sustenance of economic activities and livelihoods in the Mara River Basin. So far, there has been no framework developed to ensure that provision of water services is in harmony with the ecological requirements of the basin. In order to develop water resources in the Mara Basin, Water Partners International (now Water.Org) has been sub-contracted to conduct up-front testing for viability of a water credit initiative in the Mara Basin. The aim is to lay the groundwork for expansion of the Mara Basin water projects into credit initiatives. The scope of work: 1. Analyzes the MFI Situation in the Mara River Basin. 2. Conducts a viability assessment of Water Credit initiative within the Mara Basin 3. Assesses the institutional capacity of the Water Supply Schemes that will potentially participate in the Water Credit initiative. 4. Proposes possible initiatives that will lead to laying the groundwork for expansion of the Mara Basin project into credit initiatives
