- Expression of Interest are invited for Horn of Africa Groundwater for Resilience Learning Agenda GENERAL SCOPE OF THE SERVICES The envisaged scope of work is as follows: -) The development of the GW4R Programs core learning agenda around three key thematic areas: o Groundwater and Regional Integration. This learning area is at the core of CIWAs mandate, and addresses the building blocks of regional cooperation around transboundary water resources in the HoA. It will focus on the gradual, long-term process needed to foster increased knowledge sharing, dialogue and trust among stakeholders (across the local, sub-national, national and regional levels), towards future joint management and implementation. o Groundwaters Role in Addressing Fragility and Enhancing Resilience in the Borderlands. This learning area focuses on the linkages between TBAs and fragility in the HoAs borderlands, including the interactions between the different key variables related to sustainable access and management of the resource, water security, and FCV conditions that characterize the regions borderlands. o Sustainable Groundwater Service Delivery. This learning area focuses on key success factors in the achievement of sustainable and inclusive groundwater service delivery in vulnerable communities, particularly in borderland areas. It includes the documentation of best practices around CDD approaches and other models existing in the region, effective outreach, and engagement of communities in groundwater development, operation and maintenance (O&M) to be better equipped to cope with climate shocks, including community-level knowledge. This component will include the implementation of an enhanced data collection system using innovative remote monitoring tools. With the purpose of feeding the learning agenda products, program data will be collected using a combination of remote monitoring tools and ground truth data collected throughout the projects implementation and supervision. State-of-the-art remote monitoring tools (e.g., GEMS) will be tailored to the Program with the support of specialized WB staff and the programs Task Team, and used to capture and analyze data in real-time, enabling adaptive management, as needed - B) Application of the lessons learned in the applied research in A for an (i) enhanced institutional capacity of groundwater institutions participating in the Program, and (ii) enhanced operational quality in similar WB operations (i.e., groundwater management in complex FCV geographical contexts, including borderlands). Component 1 will use the information and knowledge products developed as part of Component 1, to conduct an assessment of institutional and procedural strengths and weaknesses among the different entities involved in the Programs implementation and supervision and support the development institutional capacity of those involved (i.e., IGAD, participating Governments and the WB) by identifying how could their approach to the Programs design and implementation be improved. Key areas of the capacity building component are (i) enhanced M&E, (ii) Enhanced adaptive risk management and stakeholder engagement, including environmental and social management aspects, (iii) Enhanced fiduciary aspects, (iv) Enhanced Regional articulatio and implementation. This assignment should be conducted with a strong presence in the field, in the areas of Program implementation of the Program countries (mostly Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia).
