The project in brief
The project aims to support the implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) in the Bandama pilot basin through the elaboration of a Development and Management Plan in a concerted and legally robust manner.
Four fundamental "pillars" of IWRM will be the subject of work, at the pilot scale of the Bandama upstream and at the national scale:
- The improvement of governance and consultation processes between stakeholders,
- The consolidation of planning mechanisms and tools,
- Sustainable IWRM financing mechanisms,
- Management and organisation of water data.
OiEau's missions

- Analysis of the legal and institutional framework,
- Mapping of stakeholders in the basin,
- Elaboration of a SAGE type document,
- Preparation for the creation of a Basin Committee at the upstream Bandama level, as a prelude to the setting up of a Bandama Water Agency.
