PrefaCe

the phrase “water is life” is an understatement in the republic of the marshall islands (rmi), where there is a chronic shortage of water and the population is at high risk of disease due to poor sanitation. the strong connections between water and sanitation and the health and quality life, combined with the risks associated with climate change, make effective water resource management one of the highest priorities in rmi. all of rmi’s 26 coral atolls and 5 islands are low lying, with extremely limited freshwater resources, difficult sanitation challenges, and vulnerability to extreme weather events and natural disasters. at least 74% of the population now lives in the two urban centers of majuro and ebeye, and this brings with it additional challenges.

improved water supply coverage is high, at least 97%, yet limited water availability, contamination, and drought all present high risks to the people of the marshall islands. the primary source of freshwater is rain, which is mostly harvested via rainwater catchments, and which also acts to recharge several groundwater lenses which are found in some favorable locations. on majuro atoll, the water system is more than 75% rainwater collection with the remainder coming from the laura groundwater lens. on ebeye, the water supply system is based solely on desalinization through expensive reverse osmosis filters. Water quality testing conducted by the rmi ePa show that the majority of household catchments, in both urban and rural settings, are contaminated.

at least seven severe droughts were recorded in the last half century, with majuro receiving less than 35 inches of rainfall over 7 months during these droughts. it is anticipated that should current climate predictions play out, gradual sea level rise and more frequent and severe droughts will exacerbate the high natural variability in freshwater availability in rmi. Progressively more urban households are installing private rainwater catchments, with more than 64% on majuro and 37% on ebeye. it is estimated that 49% of all households in the rmi have less than 4 days of freshwater storage.

Sanitation severely lags behind water with only 70% improved coverage, 82% in urban areas and 53% in rural areas. despite a law mandating the use of toilets many households are still without improved toilets, with 35% of the population in rural areas and 3.6% in urban still defecating in the open. additionally both urban sewer systems on majuro and ebeye dispose raw sewage directly into open water adjacent to populated areas severely impacting the environment and health. this trend is especially concerning in dense urban areas and in areas above freshwater groundwater lenses where there is contamination of critical resources and high potential for disease outbreaks.

on 22 and 23 march 2011, a national Water Summit convened in majuro highlighted the key sector issues and confirmed the urgency of water and sanitation improvements. in particular it was agreed that while there are a number of official policies, laws, regulations, plans and agreements that articulate rmi’s intentions and standards with respect water and sanitation, they have been developed over several decades in a relatively uncoordinated fashion. in march of 2014 a national Water and Sanitation Policy was endorsed that brings together and addresses these concerns.

the national and Water and Sanitation Policy articulates the rmi’s overarching vision for water and sanitation which is: “to provide all marshallese citizens access to clean and adequate water supplies and a level of hygiene and sanitation comparable to world standards”.

1. Water and sanitation Issues in the Development of the rMI Gef Pacific IWrM national Demonstration Project

in 2007 the rmi completed a diagnostic iWrm analysis. the diagnosis provided a detailed assessment of important water and sanitation issues in the country and aimed to: help the rmi develop a sustainable integrated water resource management system; help ensure that water resources used effectively for wellbeing and development; and help safeguard water resources for future generations.

the ten key findings of the diagnosis are as follows:

1. overall, water resource management in the rmi is more non-integrated than it is integrated;

2. While there is some cooperation among water related agencies, overall collective management remains weak;

3. all organisations with direct and indirect responsibilities for water and sanitation management and the network that connects them need capacity development and strengthening;

4. the absence of a formally established and authorized national water apex body and lack of a clear and credible water and sanitation policy result in a relatively unclear future for the water and sanitation sector;

5. majuro, ebeye and the outer islands face both water quantity and quality challenges;

6. the two main water utilities continue to face severe financial and operational challenges which affect the effectiveness and quality of their services;

7. conservation and demand management remain weak;

8. Water resources assessment and monitoring remains limited, although this is improving;

9. the rmi faces increasing vulnerability from floods and other natural and man-made disasters and yet its disaster preparedness capacity remains fundamentally weak;

10. iWrm is common sense, but it is not commonly practiced in the rmi and there is much room for improvement across the board.

as part of the 2007 diagnosis, the rmi also conducted a hot Spot analysis (hSa) exercise to identify and evaluate areas of national, regional or global significance and where conditions adversely affect human health, threaten ecosystem functioning, reduce biodiversity and/or compromise resources and amenities of economic importance in a manner that would appear to warrant priority management attention. in addition to hot spots, a number of sensitive areas were also identified and evaluated. these sensitive areas are areas of national regional and/or global significance which, although not degraded at present, are threatened with future degradation.

5

the hSa considered nine hot spots and sensitive areas. these were of different types: thematic, geographic, institutional, and policy/legislation. after conducting its evaluation and rating of each of these, using the prescribed hSa methodology, laura village’s fresh water lens was selected as the most suitable hot spot for a Global environment facility supported national iWrm demonstration Project. located on the western tip of majuro atoll, laura village is the third largest population center in the rmi the groundwater lens at laura is increasingly relied upon by the greater population of majuro and yet it faces mounting threats, and it offers an ideal microcosm and laboratory for an iWrm demonstration project in that it integrates a number of water and wastewater issues, socio-economic factors, and other considerations. laura was also selected based on the fact that success in this endeavour is directly applicable for replication in other areas in the rmi. a case study on the laura area and factors influencing the management of the laura water lens has been prepared and is available in hard copy and electronic format at the office of rmiePa.

the laura water lens is a critical resource in that it supplies a significant portion of fresh water for the majuro population, and yet it faces multiple threats and has not been managed very effectively or sustainably over the years. it is therefore imperative and critical that steps be taken to introduce more sustainable use of water lens – this is the main objective of rmi’s Gef supported iWrm national demonstration Project.

the project is entitled “integrated Water and land management for the Sustainable use of the laura Water lens” and is commonly referred to nationally as the “laura lens Project”. in summary, the key demonstration

project components of are:

1: Strengthened coordination for integrated land and Water management at laura

2: identification of key threats and management issues for the Water lens

3: development of a laura integrated Water and land resources management Plan

4: targeted Stress reduction demonstrations for the Water lens, including:

4.1: reducing Stress from overloaded and leaking Septic Systems

4.2: reducing Stress from domestic Solid Waste leachate Pollution

4.3: building capacity of Pig farmers to reduce Stress on the Water lens

5: enhancing awareness and understanding of the Water lens, including:

5.1: Public awareness

5.2: training and education

6: iWrm Policy and Plan development

Overview of the Lead Agency, IWRM Focal Point, and Project Management Unit

the rmi environmental Protection authority (rmiePa) is the lead agency for both the Pacific iWrm Program in the marshall islands. the authority’s executive function is headed by the General manager, mr. lowell alik who provides overall leadership in administering the affairs of the authority. the General manager facilitates cooperative efforts with other ministries/agencies and supplies the board with policy advice and assistance with cabinet-level concerns. the General manager is assisted by a deputy General manager in directing the areas of Policy and Planning, in order to improve the delivery of services nationally and within communities. the authority strives to be innovative in strengthening its capacity to provide more effective leadership. the organizational chart is provided below in figure 1, and illustrates how the Pacific iWrm project has been embedded in the core work of rmiePa.

ePa’s strategic direction is guided by the 3-year rolling Strategic Plan which serves as the foundation for the development of the annual Portfolio budget Statement. the ePa Strategic Plan follows the direction as detailed in the environment Protection authority act.

Alignment with the National Vision 2018

in working into the future, the authority takes into account the national Goals and objectives as stated in the vision 2018 Strategic development Plan framework, 2003-2018 with a firm commitment to ensuring that the preservation of the culture and heritage of the rmi is aligned with these overall national goals.

the specific functions and duties of the ePa, are mandated under the following acts and legislation:

○ an act to provide for the establishment of a national environmental Protection authority for the protection and management of the environment national environment Protection act 1984 [P.l. 1984-31][P.l. 1987-2]

○ the ePa is responsible for the administration, control, custody and management of the coastal Zone, and for the implementation of the provisions of the coastal conservation act (1988), with respect to the obligations and mandates described above in the environment Protection act (1984)[P.l. 1988-13].

○ Public health, Safety and Welfare act, chapter 1 Public health and Sanitation, ePa and the ministry of health work together to perform food inspections to improve safety of foods sold by grocery stores, restaurants and cooked food, and continues to do public awareness on the importance of having sanitary toilet facilities and septic systems.

○ ePa is also mandated to administer and enforce the following regulations: ozone layer Protection regulations (2004) and the Pesticides and Persistent organic; Pollutants (PoPs) regulations (2004); Public Water Supply regulation; marine Water Quality regulations; toilet facilities and Sewage disposal regulations; rmi Sustainable development regulations; Solid Waste regulations.

Signing of the Memorandum of Agreement and Establishment of the Project Management Unit

the memorandum of agreement between rmi and the Pacific islands applied Geoscience commission (now the applied Geoscience and technology division of the Secretariat of the Pacific community) was signed on 29th may 2009 by the then General manager of rmiePa, mr. john bungitak. mr. bungitak and mr. Glann lewis attended the inception Workshop for the Gef Pacific iWrm Project convened in nadi, fiji in September 2009. Shortly thereafter, mr. bungitak’s employment with rmiePa was discontinued and he was replaced by ms. barker-manase in late 2009. at that time, ms. barker-manase formally assumed the role of rmi’s national iWrm focal Point for the regional Pacific iWrm Programme. See table 1 and 2 for summary information and contacts.

there followed the recruitment of a national Project manager for rmi’s national iWrm demonstration Project. ms. moriana Phillip was appointed national Project manager on 20th december 2009. the Project management unit (Pmu) was formally established at rmiePa in january 2010, including the appointment of mr. Glann lewis as demonstration Project assistant. both ms. barker-manase and ms. Phillip attended the

Second and third Pacific iWrm regional Steering committee meetings convened in the republic of Palau (july 2010) and the cook islands (july 2011)

as at 30 September 2011, the Pmu for the rmi Gef national iWrm demonstration Project had been operational for 21 of the 60 months initially identified as being required to successfully deliver the project. rmi worked during 2010, to strengthen the implementation of the european union supported iWrm Policy and Planning component of the Pacific iWrm Programme. this culminated in the development of a detailed national costed work plan aimed at stimulating this much needed area of work during 2011. ms. tamera heine was subsequently appointed national Water Policy Support officer and joined the Project management unit in december 2010.

the project management unit for the rmi have changed recently replacing the project manager, the focal point and appointing a new project assistant. the new Pmu consists of mr.julius lucky, the new project manager, mr.lowell alik the new ePa general manager and the new iWrm focal point, and mr.roderick kabua the new project assistant.

a start-up committee for the iWrm demonstration Project was first established in 2009 with members limited to traditional leaders, major landowners, and council officials from the local Government. following establishment of the Project management unit in 2010, effort was made to revitalise and expand the membership of this group. initially, traditional leaders and laura residents were invited to consultations to re-introduce project goals, objectives, and to ensure all key traditional leaders were adequately represented in these discussions.

the idea of establishing a formal body for the coordination of the Gef iWrm demonstration was first raised amongst key stakeholders in march 2010, and shortly thereafter the “laura integrated Water and land management advisory committee” was formed. this is informally referred to as the “laura lens committee” or “committee in kejparok aiboj lal eo ilo laura” in marshallese. discussions with stakeholders resulted in the following suggested actions to further strengthen membership and participation within the committee:

○ revitalization of participation through face-to-face consultations with key traditional leaders of laura. these consultations resulted in an expanded membership list to include representation of community leaders not in original membership list;

○ establishment of an advisory Sub-committee to act as Working Group of the committee;

○ elaboration of committee terms of reference to guide the work of the committee.

the (1) membership list and (2) terms of reference for the laura integrated Water and land management advisory committee and the

advisory Sub-committee/Working Group are included in this report as annex 1 and annex 2, respectively.the following diagram illustrating how the committee links to national decision making bodies.

Overview of National Coordination Mechanisms and Linkages with RMI’s GEF IWRM Demonstration Project

in october 2008, a cabinet resolution established a national iWrm Water task force (nWtf) and appointed ePa as the chair of this. the resolution however, contained no clear no clear specifications for membership. and at the time of establishment of the rmi iWrm Project management unit in 2010, there was no evidence of the nWtf ever having met. as such it was identified that the Gef iWrm demonstration project would work to make the nWtf operational in order to strengthen national coordination in the water and sanitation and to work towards the development of a national Water and Sanitation Policy and iWrm Plan.

accordingly, rmi ePa assembled a national taskforce team. this taskforce is comprised of officials from Governmental, non-Governmental organizations, and executive members of the laura integrated Water and land management advisory committee. letters were dispatched to all relevant water stakeholders, both in Government and non-Governmental organizations, inviting participation in the work of the taskforce. Whilst broad representation of all stakeholders was encouraged, high level representation from each Government ministry was encouraged with the assistance of the office of the chief Secretary. the full list of nWtf members is included in this report as annex 3.

once established, a key initiative of the national iWrm task force was the organisation and conduct of a national Water Summit from 22nd-23rd

3. establishment of a Coordinating Body for the operation of the Gef Pacific IWrM Demonstration Project in rMI

march 2011. this Summit was used inter alia to: launch the task force; identify its priority areas of work; and to agree on the steps needed to strengthen national coordination of water and sanitation initiatives (e.g. establishment of a formal Water commission) and to develop the national Water and Sanitation Policy and iWrm Plan. a Policy Sub-committee of the national task force force was formed in support of water policy development.

Development of a National Water and Sanitation Policy and the Establishment of the “RMI Water and Sanitation Commission”

the rmi Water and Sanitation Policy calls for the formal establishment of the “rmi national Water and Sanitation commission” to strengthen and formalise the functions and roles of the national iWrm task force. Since its establishment in october 2008, the task force has served a useful purpose in terms of coordinating water and sanitation policy and planning. however, the constitution, functions, and roles of the task force require further elaboration to better support the implementation of a national Water and Sanitation Policy and iWrm Plan. the body will also benefit greatly from strengthened institutional authority as a “commission”.

there is strong support among key stakeholders in the rmi on the need to establish this more formal, fully-functional and authoritative institution to serve as the rmi’s WatSan needs. the concept of a new Water and Sanitation commission has received support by the members of the task force, through consultations with policy makers, and during the march 2011 national Water Summit. the adoption of the new policy and the establishment of the commission are two key components in the larger effort to institutionalize and strengthen iWrm in the rmi. the draft national Water and Sanitation Policy can be obtained by contacting ms. barker-manase at rmi ePa.

Basic Functions and Roles of the Commission

the primary purpose of the commission will be to govern overall water and sanitation policy, planning, decision making and resource allocation in the rmi.

it has been identified that the commission shall:

○ be established at the highest level of authority and through well-designed enabling instruments. initially this would be via a detailed resolution to be jointly adopted by the cabinet and the nitijela. later on, this institution should be formally established and authorized via a new comprehensive iWrm Plan and law (proposed for late 2012);

○ have oversight and responsibility for the effective implementation of the Water and Sanitation Policy;

○ institutionalize its internal working relations through a multi-party ‘compact’ that clearly articulates each member’s roles and responsibilities and that commits the members to active participation in the nWab and its activities and endeavors;

○ have a very clearly articulated mandate, constitution (membership), structure, functions, roles, powers, procedures and protocols;

○ be inclusive, with representation from all key stakeholder groups in the country;

○ be comprised of geographic and thematic sub-bodies or sub-committees, structured along the main priorities and action areas for iWrm in the rmi (e.g. laura committee, Sanitation and health committee, ebeye committee, utilities committee, landowners, etc.);

○ include a ‘core’ working group (which meets more frequently) and a larger working group.

○ be well organized and coordinated, primarily through the services of a Secretariat, in the form of a iWrm coordination office (also to be established in 2012);

○ be active and proactive, meeting regularly (e.g. bi-monthly) and looking ‘beyond the horizon’ to anticipate emerging challenges and opportunities;

○ focus on effective coordination, both domestically (intergovernmental, national-local-community), regionally, and internationally (e.g. with donor and development partners);

○ utilize efficient resource allocation principles, including cost-benefit analysis and other objective criteria to inform decision making; and

○ be responsible for coordinating annual national Water day activities.

an active and effective national-level water institution that follows these main principles would constitute ‘key ingredient’ for more integrated and sustainable water resources management in the rmi.

10

a stakeholder analysis was undertaken in early 2010 to identify key stakeholders and brainstorm strategies for engaging these key groups and individuals. as part of the analysis an action Plan for Stakeholder engagement was developed (see annex 4). the following table summarizes the key stakeholders identified and strategies to engage them.

Some strategies have been successful to date in terms of engaging high ranking traditional leaders at the outset to encourage more community participation and support in the planning stages. other strategies will be undertaken starting end of 2011 such as the establishment of a “laura lens learning center” located in laura, to be accessible to schools and members of the general public. this center will exhibit educational materials, demonstration activities, models and other media. the table on the following page highlights key stakeholders and engagement strategies.

in the community, the traditional leaders and the landowners are the most influential; engaging them in decision making processes for the iWrm demonstration project has encouraged community ownership of the project. their participation has also been effective in encouraging interest from other community members. because community ownership of the project is essential for the sustainability of the initiative, it is crucial that these key groups are involved in the process

of the development of the key output, i.e., the laura Water and land management Plan.

Similarly, the involvement of high level government stakeholders in the national iWrm task force has been equally beneficial for the long term water and sanitation policy and planning initiatives of the project. this has stimulated high level government buy-in. the project was effective in facilitating the appointment of first lady hannah Zedkaia as rmi’s national Water and Sanitation champion in lead-up to the first national Water Summit convened on World Water day 2011. the first lady has provided high level, instrumental support to all key project initiatives which has proven very effective in terms of raising the awareness of the initiative and water and sanitation issues generally in the rmi.

to improve stakeholder participation, particularly with respect to the national Water and Sanitation Policy and iWrm Plan development, the Pmu plans to work closely and focus on the most influential stakeholders, including traditional leaders, the first lady, Politicians and active and influential community members to lobby support from groups that are against or are indifferent to the project.

Stakeholder Key Interests & Why Engage? Strategies for Engagement

traditional leaders (chiefs and landowners)

○ highest ranking in traditional system

○ landowner and community leader.

○ advice, especially on traditional land issues

need to be engaged during the planning stages at each stage of the project. need to be fully informed and have clear understanding of project objectives to avoid high expectations.

risk of opposition from high ranking community members is reduced if this group has clear understanding of project objectives. this will facilitate community support during implementation on the ground.

community leaders (active community members, may have some land title rights)

landowner and community leader. community advisor and participation

Policy-Planning and implementation. community leaders may range from those with traditional land title and those without. both are key to implementation. engagement through committee meetings and advice and input on decision making for project activities, assign as points of contact in the community.

5.1 logframe development

the national Gef supported iWrm demonstration project in the rmi focuses on integrated Water and land management for the Sustainable use of the laura Water lens, majuro atoll. the overall aim of the demonstration Project is to achieve sustainable use of the majuro groundwater supply, namely the laura lens, focusing on practical demonstration of best practices to address national priority water issues and raise political will to act in the interests of iWrm. in 2010, the original scope of work was re-evaluated and the Pmu and laura lens committee worked to adjust planned activities to meet local needs, priorities, and available resources. a detailed project logical framework matrix (logframe) incorporating Smart indicators was developed during the first half of 2010 for final review and endorsement by the Second regional Steering committee for the Gef Pacific iWrm Project.

to assist with improving stakeholder awareness and understanding of the key areas of work and anticipated results of the project, the completed project logframe was translated into marshallese language for public comment. using inputs from several landowners and community representatives, the logframe was subsequently finalised in june 2010. the english and marshallese versions of the logframe are included in this report as annex 5.

contamination of the criticial laura lens from domestic and animal wastes

reduced stress on the laura Water lens by development and operation of septic remediation programme, pilot ecoSan, and conversion of piggeries from wash down waste disposal systems to dry litter systems

the following table provides a summary of key results linked to the projects goal and objectives. a comprehensive review of national results notes linked to performance indications can be found in annex 6.

5.2.4 key awareness materials

the rmi Gef Pacific iWrm demonstration project has adopted a storyline approach to documenting project progress and its impact on the social and natural environment. the marshall islands journal (mij) is the rmi’s regular newspaper and features weekly cartoons known by all marshallese. the demonstration project has established a partnership with the mij to regularly update the community on project progress and activities via cartoon sketches.

5.3 catalytic impacts

the dry-litter piggery systems were identified as the most effective methods of reducing the amount of pig waste issues. through piloting dry-litter systems, it has been brought into considerations by community members including local government council members to be the right solution in dealing with the pig waste management issues on laura. currently the only form of governance for pig waste management is the local government ordinance on pig waste management stating all pig farms are required to use septic systems for pig farming. With the good outcomes of the pilot project, suggestions have been made to revise the current ordinance to using dry-litter systems for pig waste management.

5.4 Participatory Planning, monitoring, and evaluation

during the inception period, the project focused on engaging traditional leaders in the planning stages to ensure overall agreement on and understanding of the project objectives. to date, the project has expanded its stakeholder focus to include high level officials in Government. table 3 above provides a summary overview of which stakeholders where particularly important and influential during the planning, monitoring, and reporting aspects of the project. the following summarises how different stakeholders are engaged in iWrm demonstration project planning, monitoring, and reporting. the Participatory Planning, monitoring, and reporting Plan is provided in annex 6.

the laura integrated Water and land management advisory committee’s (or laura lens committee) main role is to provide direction and strategic guidance to the Pmu and the environment Protection authority as the lead agency regarding the design and implementation of the national demonstration project. these include, but are not limited to: review and endorsement of quarterly work plans; evaluation of project progress; and assessment and oversight of stakeholder participation in the project.

in 2010 the Project management unit reviewed the status of the laura integrated Water and land management advisory committee’s (or laura lens committee) with a view to further elaborating the role of the committee in both the demonstration Site as well as in national planning processes relating to water and sanitation issues. consultations were undertaken in early 2010 with members of the committee to identify ways to improve participation at the community level. as a result of the consultations the following suggested actions were undertaken:

○ representation of traditional leaders, landowners, church groups, women’s groups, and residents of demonstration site expanded to include leaders not in original membership list

○ tor updated

○ advisory Group established to act as working group of the committee Pmu meets quarterly with the main committee (laura lens Protection committee) to provide updates on overall project progress.

the Pmu organises the meetings of the laura integrated Water and land management advisory committee to provide updates on overall project progress and ensure full participation in the planning of project activities, expenditures, and communications.

the advisory Sub-committee meets more frequently than the committee and acts as a small working group of the committee to: monitor progress of planned activities; work closely with the Pmu in facilitating communications between the Pmu and the community in laura; draft quarterly work plans and reports for review and endorsement by the full advisory committee. copies of Quarterly Work plans and budgets are provided to the advisory committee to inform members on upcoming project activities and get feedback and approval of quarterly plans.

regular meetings of the advisory Sub-committee also allow discussion on lessons learned from the perspective of the community and other stakeholders. members were selected by the main committee to allow more frequent input into planning, decision making and implementation. during these consultations, the Pmu provides updates on activities and results achieved. lessons learnt are then shared with the group and feedback and suggestions for alternative approaches are agreed on.

the detailed plan guiding the Participatory Planning, monitoring and reporting of the project is included in this report as annex 6.

6. strengthening national Coordination and IWrM Policy and Planning in rMI

6.1 linkages of demonstration activities with iWrm Planning

the iWrm demonstration project has demonstrated effective stress reduction pilot projects that have been part of the process for developing the water and sanitation policy. from the demonstration activities, the laura community recognizes the need for scaling up these demonstration pilot projects and the need to develop something that will help sustain the projects. through series of consultations and meetings, the iWrm national task force and the laura lens committee recognized that there was develop a formal national Water and Sanitation Policy.

the development process included a national water summit that convened on march 2011 capturing the community needs in terms of water and sanitation. these needs were then developed into the key elements of the policy document. this national Water and Sanitation Policy was endorsed by government in march 2014.

6.2 national iWrm Planning

the rmi national Water task force, established by cabinet in 2008 (see cabinet resolution in annex 2), currently serves as the tentative nWab for the rmi and has adopted a five-step approach for institutionalizing

iWrm in the rmi over the next two years.

in summary, the major steps to institutionalizing iWrm are as follows (with target dates indicated):

1. develop and adopt a new comprehensive, iWrm-based national Water and Sanitation Policy

2. formally establish and authorize a permanent and fully-functional rmi Water and Sanitation commission to serve as the overarching nWab and governance body for iWrm (target date: early 2012)

3. formally establish a permanent national iWrm coordination office to serve as the primary coordinating unit for water and sanitation policy and to serve as the Secretariat for the commission (target date: early 2012)

4. develop and adopt an iWrm medium-term action and investment Plan (target date: late 2011)

5. develop and enact a new iWrm law to further solidify rmi’s commitment to integrated and sustainable management in the water and sanitation sector (target date: late 2012)

7. Capturing Lessons Learned for replication and scaling-up of IWrM Best Practice in rMI

7.1 lessons learned

Committee Involvement in Planning and Decision Making

one of the lessons documented by the project involved postponement of a particular capacity building activity. the activity had been prescheduled prior to final agreement from all members of the committee. as a result the committee members suggested that alternative activities be prioritized. this issue may have been avoided if members were involved earlier in the planning of quarterly activities. it is very important that the committee adds insight can help improve the project; however, it is also very important to be careful as to be able to manage the inputs of the group as to not hinder progress.

Transparency and Honesty

a key lesson learned to date from the demonstration project is the importance of transparency when dealing with community groups, it is important to be clear that your efforts are dedicated to assisting them and that their ideas and time are valuable too. you do this carefully by allowing everyone (landowners or not) space to think, time to contribute, by doing this you give them a sense of ownership and responsibility to their decisions (for example, by agreeing on where the laura lens learning center should be, they are likely to make sure that it is safe all the time)

High Level Support

the iWrm Gef Pmu was heavily involved in the pre-planning and conducting the national Water and Sanitation Summit held in march

2010. one of the successes of this event was the very high level of participation even though the summit was a 2 day event. nominating a national Water and Sanitation champion – the first lady, was key to turning the event into a very high level and participatory event. this same approach has been recently used for the area of climate change.

Community

key lesson learned during the implementation of the project was the appointment of the former first lady hannah Zedkeia to be the national water champion for the rmi with the role of incorporating more women and local community members into the iWrm policy and planning. her role demonstrated to be effective by leading the national water summit heavily involving major community land owners, women’s groups, and other potential members that contributed inputs that lead to the development of the key elements of the water and sanitation policy.

7.2 replication and Scaling-up

the draft replication and scaling up plan for the demonstration project is included in this report as annex 7. it is envisaged that this replication and scaling up plan will be further elaborated as the project moves into activities to pilot water and land use management practices aimed at reducing stress on the laura lens. the capture of lessons learned from the activitieshave been used to inform the drafting of the rmi Water and Sanitation Policy that was endorsed in 2014, iWrm investment Plan, and iWrm law.

Implementing Sustainable Water Resource and Wastewater Management in Pacific Island Countries

============================================================================= 1. PROJECT OBJECTIVE The objective of the “Integrated Water and Land Management for the Sustainable Use of the Laura Water Lens” Project (Laura Lens Project) is to strengthen national and local coordination for water resource management with a focus on reducing stress on the Laura Water Lens and planning the longer-term sustainable use of the Laura Water Lens. ============================================================================= 2. RESULTS: PROCESS A start-up committee for the IWRM Demonstration Project was first established in 2009 with members limited to traditional leaders, major landowners, and Council officials from the Local Government. Following establishment of the Project Management Unit In 2010, effort was made to revitalise and expand the membership of this group. Initially, traditional leaders and Laura residents were invited to consultations to re-introduce project goals, objectives, and to ensure all key traditional leaders were adequately represented in these discussions. Establishment of this locally based committee has been effective in: (a) building relationships of government with traditional landowners and leaders and (b) has also been catalytic in terms of influencing decision makers at the national level to provide support for the revitalisation of the “National IWRM Task Force” to lead national IWRM policy and planning. The National IWRM Task Force then proceeded to organize a national consultative process, including a large National Water and Sanitation Summit convened in March 2011 involving ~300 participants, to agree targets and priorities for the development of national policy and an IWRM Plan. This has facilitated the development of a National Water and Sanitation Policy and draft IWRM Plan for endorsement 2013. 2(a) INDICATOR#1: BEST IWRM AND WUE APPROACHES DEFINED Prior to project inception a consultant had been engaged to identify IWRM and WUE needs for the Marshall Islands. Although these had not been considered by communities or relevant agencies of government. The target was to have the approach defined and endorsed by national APEX body. Via the operation of a national consultation process, involving communities and women’s groups, priorities for and steps towards institutionalizing IWRM approaches in the RMI have been developed and endorsed by the National IWRM Task Force.

Figure 2: Members of the National IWRM Task Force working to incorporate agreed approaches for IWRM into

the National Water and Sanitation Policy 2(b) INDICATOR#2: INCREASE IN COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WITH NATIONAL GOVERNMENT ON WATER ISSUES At the time of project inception, the relationship with the Laura community and national government was tenuous due to a history of dispute over water resource access and allocation. Prior to project commencement, only 2 community group representatives occasionally took part in government workshops. Regular engagement of traditional leaders, landowners, and Laura residents with government through the operation of the community-based Laura Lens Committee has assisted with developing a common understanding and trust between the community, with on average 12 community leaders meeting on a quarterly basis with government.

Figure 3: Community representatives participating in a National Water Summit in 2011 2(c) INDICATOR#3: MULTI-SECTORAL APEX BODY IN PLACE At the time of project inception, there was no APEX body for water in the RMI. The target of the project was to have such a body established and operational by July 2010. RMI’s National IWRM Task Force was established by Executive Order and includes membership off all relevant community

and traditional leaders, national government departments, local governments, private sector and NGOs. The Task Force is actively leading coordination, policy development, and planning.

Figure 4: National IWRM Task Force making a presentation to RMI Parliament on IWRM Policy 2(d) INDICATOR#4: SECTORAL ENGAGEMENT IN FORMAL MULTILATERAL COMMUNICATION ON WATER ISSUES Prior to commencement of IWRM there was limited cross sectoral engagement or communication on water issues. The project aimed to increase engagement, with a particular emphasis on strengthening communication between national government and traditional community-based governance arrangements. The National IWRM Task Force established the forum for this and, with Secretariat support for this group provided through the IWRM, up to 30 different agencies from national and local government, representatives of NGOs, and community leaders have met on a quarterly basis to discuss national water and sanitation policy and IWRM planning, review the status of various water related investment in the Marshall Islands, and to share information on the results of various stress reduction technologies being trialed as part of the IWRM demonstration project. Minutes of the meetings of National IWRM Task Force indicate a high level of continuity of participation by senior representatives of the participating agencies in these meetings.

2(e) INDICATOR#5: LAURA LENS INTEGRATED WATER AND LAND MANAGEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE At project inception there existed no mechanism for local community stakeholders, including landowners and traditional leaders to contribute to planning and management of water resource use and sanitation in the area of the Laura groundwater lens. The target of the project was to establish a local coordinating committee to enable community input to planning at both local and national levels and to establish a formal linkage between local stakeholders and the National IWRM Task Force. Terms of Reference and membership for a Laura Lens Integrated Water and Land Management Advisory Committee (or Laura Lens Committee) were developed, considered by the 2011 National Water and Sanitation Summit, and subsequently endorsed by the Chair of the National IWRM Task Force. The Committee has been in operation since 2011 and acts to guide planning of local stress reduction initiatives and provides inputs to national policy and planning.

This project aimed to achieve a 30 percent increase in community participation in both water and sanitation related awareness and engagement activities. This has been achieved by development and operation of a targeted water resource protection awareness program which has been mainstreamed into the routine operations of RMI EPA. Supporting initiatives include the active participation of 33 households in testing dry litter pig pens and ecosanitation toilets in the Laura community.

The project aimed to define targets and priority actions for IWRM aimed at strengthening national coordination and reducing stress on vulnerable water resources for mainstreaming into national and regional planning frameworks. An intensive consultative process, involving broad cross-sectoral and community participation, enabled the definition of best approaches for water and sanitation management which were subsequently incorporated in the draft National Water and Sanitation Policy and IWRM Plan. National priorities have also been used in broader regional efforts during 2012-2013 to revise the Regional Action Plan for Water and Sanitation.

2(h) INDICATOR#8: LESSONS LEARNED INCORPORATED INTO OTHER PROJECT(S) AND/OR REGULATIONS The Majuro Atoll Local Government (MALGOV) ordinances human and pig waste management and the RMIEPA regulations for household toilets require the use of septic systems at each household in the Laura community. Limited resources for septic pump-out and disposal had led to overloaded septic systems contaminating the Laura water lens. The project demonstrated alternative, locally appropriate technologies for the management of pig-waste (dry-litter pig pens) and human waste (ecosanitation composting toilets) in the Laura community. The Laura lens committee for the project has initiated efforts with MALGOV and RMIEPA to amend local government ordinances and national regulations to encourage the use of dry litter pig pens and ecosanitation toilets in place of septic systems.

============================================================================= 3. RESULTS: STRESS REDUCTION The Laura Lens Project aims to reduce stress on the Laura Water Lens via targeted actions addressing pollution from septic systems, piggeries, and domestic solid waste. These will be supported via introduction of a zoning scheme based on an assessment of Laura water lens vulnerability to land and water uses. Key achievements to date include conduct of a survey of solid and septic waste management practices and needs for all Laura households, and development of septic monitoring and pump-out programme; community led design and conduct of household water use and sanitation audit; construction of 3 pilot ECOSAN systems at prominent locations in Laura community; preliminary works to remediate a large broken pig waste septic at a commercial piggery and conversion of its operation to a dry litter system; and conversion of 30 household pig pens to dry litter system from typical water intensive wash down pens. 3(a) INDICATOR#1: REDUCTION IN SEWAGE POLLUTION IN LAURA COMMUNITY At the time of project inception, there was no system in place for reducing sewage pollution in Laura. Many household septic systems were overloaded and broken. The target of the project was to have 35 percent reduction in sewage pollution of the lens from households. The survey of septic waste identified 117 broken and overloaded septics requiring immediate pump-out. To date around 40% of these septics have been remediated.

The target of the project is to achieve 30% reduction in sources discharging into Laura groundwater. To date the number of households and pollutant sources have been identified and characterized. Pollution from pig waste has been identified as a major source. Preliminary work has been done to remediate a large broken pig waste septic at a commercial piggery and conversion of its operation to a dry litter system, and conversion of 30 household pig pens to dry litter system from typical water intensive wash down pens. An ECOSAN pilot activity is also underway in the Laura community, with 3 pilot systems constructed at prominent locations in Laura community. The national IWRM Plan for RMI is being developed and contains targeted costed actions for pig waste management and ECOSAN replication and scaling-up.

Routine monitoring of well water quality and resultant e-coli data had indicated significant risk of waterborne disease. Priority targets of the project were to conduct an assessment of the state of sanitation at the project site and to initiate a monitoring programme to identify septic system remediation and sludge disposal needs. Based on the results of this assessment, the project initiated a partnership with the Majuro Water and Sewer Company for the the routine pump-out of septic systems. To date this has resulted in almost 40 percent of overloaded septic systems having been remediated. Recent surveys of well water quality indicate significant reduction of e-coli in the Laura lens groundwater. This has been augmented with efforts to promote ecosanitation approaches within the community.

Figure 15: The Majuro Water and Sewer Company septic pump-out operations 3(d) INDICATOR#4: REDUCTION IN USE OF FRESHWATER FOR SANITATION PURPOSES DUE TO COMPOSTING TOILET INSTALLATION Prior to project commencement there was limited understanding of the volumes of water used for sanitation at the household level. The project aimed to provide practical demonstrations to

46

11

householders in the Laura community of how to reduce household water use by 30 percent through the use of ecosanitation composting toilets. Technical exchange with the Tuvalu IWRM project enabled the construction of 3 demonstration toilets at key locations within the Laura community. It has been estimated that these households have reduced water use by 40 percent through the use of composting toilets instead of flush systems. These reductions in water use have been augmented by the conversion of wash-down pig pens to waterless dry litter pig waste management systems at 30 households in the community.

Figure 16 Comparison of the commonly used flush toilet in Laura with the waterless composting toilet demonstrated in the Laura community 4. RESULTS: WATER RESOURCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS IWRM in the Marshall Islands aims to contribute to improved water resource status by increasing population with access to safe drinking water supply and with access to sanitation. Drinking water safety has been addressed via the development of a drinking water safety planning and IWRM planning underway for RMI incorporates the replication of this work on Ebeye. 4(a) INDICATOR#1: POPULATION WITH ACCESS TO SAFE WATER At the time of project implementation, there had been no water safety planning conducted for Majuro Atoll. The target of the project is to have the Majuro Water Safety Plan implemented. To date water safety issues have been investigated and discussed with key water providers and businesses. A Water Safety Plan has been drafted and reviewed by the IWRM Task Force and is awaiting formal adoption.

Participatory Planning, Monitoring, and Reporting Planfor the GEF Pacific IWRM Demonstration Project in the RMI

1. INTRODUCTION

There are multiple and varied planning, monitoring and reporting requirements as part of the GEF Pacific IWRM Project. These were discussed and agreed during the project’s Inception Workshop in September 2009 and were adopted as part of the operation of the Republic of the Marshall Island’s national IWRM demonstration project entitled: “Laura Demonstration Project”.

Participation and engagement of key project stakeholders including community groups and Non-Governmental Organisations. The project coordinating committee Laura Water and Land Management Advisory Group, The Environmental Protection Authority, Cabinet, national development partners, and global donors in project planning, monitoring, and reporting was considered important in guiding the successful implementation of the project in Marshall Islands.

2. GUIDING PRINCIPLES

The key principles used in developing the project planning, monitoring, and reporting approach were that it should:

primarily act to better inform an “IWRM continuum of transition” in the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, results, and sustainability of investment in IWRM;

facilitate good governance of demonstration project activities, including areas of project finances, coordination, planning, capture of lessons learned, and technical quality assurance;

ensure efficient and cost-effective compliance of reporting requirements of the National Government of Marshall Islands SPC/SOPAC, UNDP, UNEP, and the GEF;

ensure relevance of the information and data collected, and that data on project results can be rolled up and down, from “Community to Cabinet” and from “Country to Global Donor”; and

Draw on participatory Most Significant Change (MSC) techniques which act to monitoring and validate reported project impacts on behaviour.

3. PLANNING, MONITORING, AND REPORTING FRAMEWORK

The general planning, monitoring, and reporting framework developed for operation through the Marshall Islands national IWRM demonstration project is summarised in Table 1. The timetable of activities is summarised in Table 1.

Project Planning

Laura Integrated Water and Land Management Advisory CommitteeThe Laura Integrated Water and Land Management Advisory Committee’s main role is to provide direction and strategic guidance to the PMU and the Environment Protection Authority as the Lead Agency regarding the design and implementation of the national demonstration project including amongst other things:

Receive, review and approve reports from the Project Management Unit regarding the outputs and outcomes of project activities

Review stakeholder involvement in project activities and take action where necessary to ensure appropriate levels of government, NGO, community, and private sector engagement

Review and evaluate, at the national level, progress in implementation of the project, and provide guidance for improvement to the PMU and Lead Agency (EPA) when necessary

To establish a Working Committee of the Laura Lens (Groundwater) Protection Plan Periodically consult/inform the community of the status/condition of the lens. Identify potential sources of pollutants/contaminants to the Laura lens.

75

49

Produce awareness and educational materials for the community-schools, residences, and churches.

Involve participation of Laura communities to assist in the campaign of the groundwater protection plan.

In 2010 the Project Management Unit reviewed the status of the Laura Lens Protection Committee with a view to further elaborating the role of the Committee in both the Demonstration Site as well as in national planning processes relating to water and sanitation issues. Consultations were undertaken at the end of 2009 and early 2010 with members of the Committee to identify ways to improve participation at the community level. As a result of the consultations the following suggested actions were undertaken:

Representation of traditional leaders, landowners, church groups, women’s groups, and residents of demonstration site expanded to include leaders not in original membership list

TOR elaborated Advisory Group established to act as working group of the committee PMU meets

quarterly with the main committee (Laura Lens Protection Committee) to provide updates on overall project progress.

The PMU meets quarterly with the Laura Lens Protection Committee to provide updates on overall project progress, review any revisions to the Project Logframe.

Project Monitoring

Advisory Group MeetingsThe Advisory Group meets more frequently than the Committee and acts as a small working group of the Committee to monitor progress of planned activities, work closely with the PMU and facilitate communications between the PMU and the Community in Laura, review and approve quarterly work plans and budgets. Copies of Quarterly Work plans and Budgets are provided to the Advisory Group to inform members on upcoming project activities and get feedback and approval of quarterly plans. Regularly scheduled meetings of the Advisory Group also allow discussion on lessons learned from the perspective of the community and other stakeholders. Members were selected by the main committee to allow more frequent input into planning, decision making and implementation. The group is tasked to review quarterly activities, work plans. During these consultations, PMU presents the work plans for review and endorsement. The PMU also go over previous quarter’s work plan to check off on activities that were successfully implemented as well as activities that were delayed or not undertaken. Lessons learnt are then shared with the group and feedback and suggestions for alternative approaches are agreed on.

Quarterly Work plan and Budgeting

Members of the advisory group reside in Laura and assist the PMU with communicating to community

groups and committee members on project related activities.

Project Reporting

Community MeetingsUse of power point presentations for community meetings have become a popular means of informing communities about a range of issues. However PMU have started to use approaches that are more aligned towards traditional practice of having “conversation” in an informal setting in the community seems to encourage more dialogue with community members.

Laura Advisory CommitteeWhen the demonstration Logframe was revised in 2010 it was provided to the committee members for feedback. Members requested that the logframe be translated into the local language, and has been done and distributed to committee members for approval.

Advisory Group MeetingsCopies of Quarterly Workplans and Budgets are provided to the Advisory Group to inform members on upcoming project activities and get feedback and approval of quarterly plans. Regularly scheduled meetings of the Advisory Group also allow discussion on lessons learned not just from the perspective of the PMU but from the perspective of the community and other stakeholders as well.

Newspaper articles Newspaper article submissions are used to highlight project activities. Once outputs, such as baseline studies or survey reports are finalized news articles on results of these outputs will be submitted to local newspapers.

High Level Briefing In September the PMU in coordination with other partners organized a Luncheon for Parliament members to brief members on Climate Change Policy Framework and overview of recommendations of the National Water and Sanitation Summit held in March 2011 and the status and timeline for the development of the National Water and Sanitation Policy as well as Demo Project activities. The briefing allowed an opportunity to have an open dialogue with Parliament Members, which is not always easy to schedule with all members of parliament.

Interviews with Laura Integrated Water and Land Management Advisory Committee membersThe PMU conducted and recorded interviews with members from both the Laura Lens Protection Committee and the National Water Task Force. Their responses and pictures were published in the local newspaper. This is one of the approaches the PMU will use for monitoring and evaluation of the demonstration project through feedback on certain issues from committee members as well as other community groups and individuals.

Annual National Project Implementation Review

Each year the PMU is responsible for completing a National Project Implementation Review (PIR). The PIR is meant to incorporate a range of input from various stakeholders to determine rate of progress against agreed outputs per the project logframe. It is a useful exercise to go through internally and can highlight areas that require more stakeholder engagement. This PIR ideally should be vetted through the Demonstration Project Committees as well as the National IWRM Task Force for feedback. This year the PIR ending June 2011 was completed based on community and task force members responses to interview questions. The PMU is looking into developing a simple way of getting feedback for the PIR. Often times such documents are seen as cumbersome and not always well received, particularly at the community level.
