This consultancy aims to reduce the risk of communities exposed to flooding and enhance the resilience of community to drought through strategic infrastructure investments

Initially the consultancy services targeted in seventeen (17) multipurpose water harvesting structures spread across ten districts within the project area, which in general is the Shire River Basin. Following the kickoff meeting, it was proposed by the Client a new list of sites to be considered, separating the list in two categories, as some of them are priority for the Ministry and de-signs have to be completed the soonest possible.

The sites to be assessed through this consultancy are separated into two categories of sites, priority and non priority, following respective request from the client.
Priority sites: Sombani, Phalombe minor, Zomba south, Nsuwa, Mtonda, Namalowa, Chete, Nantipwiri/Bandanga, Tsanjalale (Dedja), Kasangadzi, Nthondo
Non Priority sites: Kamwaza, Livulezi, Namitembo, Naliswe, Kabawi.

The main objective is to create a connection between the results produced by the Shire River Operation Decision Support System (ODSS) software and the KABOM (Kamuzu Barrage Operation and Management Model) manage-ment tool so that the hydrological information produced and data collected by the ODSS can be directly ingested into KABOM to improve and facilitate decision support. It is specified that in the initial phase of implementation, the tool's functionalities will be kept the same as those of the currently implemented system, thus upgrading the software used and connecting it to the ODSS. Subsequently, the need and possibility of adding new features to the tool will be evaluated. Another improvement resulting from the connection with the ODSS software is the more precise definition of the amount of resource coming from the tributaries, which in this case can be directly calcu-lated by the hydrological model instead of being limited to the choice of low or high parameters.

The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia has received financing from the International Development Association (IDA) for the implementation of Second Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Project (SUWSSP). The Ministry of Water and Energy applied a por-tion of the proceeds of the fund to SNNP Regional State Water, Mines and Energy Development Bureau. The SNNP Region is in the southern part of Ethiopia, its area covers 112,343 km2 and its population is over 15 million. The capital city is Hawassa. The Project focuses on the cities of Hawassa, Wolaita Sodo and Arba Minch and includes two main assignments, each with its own specific objectives and scope of services:
- Develop a Non-Revenue Water (NRW) Reduction Strategic Plan.
- Develop a Business Plan.
As the two assignments feed into each other, the Consultant is executing the two assignments concurrently for each of the three Water Enterprises.
Main City Population (urban and rural) for the three cities are :

Hawassa 492,579

River Benue is an international river flowing into Nigeria, originating from the highlands of northern Cameroon. The river runs for about 900 km from the border to the confluence with River Niger at Lokoja, Kogi State. River Benue has two major hydrological water provinces in Nigeria - the Upper Benue and the Lower Benue.
The Benue River Basin between the International border with Cameroon and Lokoja is classified as hydrological area III and IV in the Nigerian drainage system classification, covering 98.0 x 103 sq km at the International border of Cameroun and drainage area of 338.2x103 sq km at Lokoja and gross surface water potential of 108.10x109m3/year. The groundwater potential is estimated at 37.9x109m3 /year (JICA MP, 2013).

 The Scope of the Consultancy services are:

I. Update the essential parts of the water resources management data by evaluating available resources spa-tially and temporally for the Benue River Basin “Hydrological Area (HA) 3 and 4” considering the available Water in the Water Resources Master Plans of 1995 and 2013 and their related studies in the past.
II. Draw out the Benue Basin Water Management Plan using most up-to-date state of the art tools, through forecast demand projection of various sub-sectors of water uses, evaluate demand projection for the Benue Basin sub-sectors according to their order of priority: as Municipal and Rural domestic water supply, Irrigation, Hydropower generation schemes, environmental flows, Flood and Drought Control, Inland Navigation and River training, Aquacul-ture and Livestock schemes taking into consideration the socio-environmental risks and needs for downstream.
III. Prepare a Development Plan including a set of possible irrigation and water resources development schemes, including some of which may already be in various stages of implementation.
IV. Project Prioritization and Detailed Designs.
