  1. MINISTRY OF WATER, SANITATION AND IRRIGATION SDG6 IWRM ACTION PLAN April 2021 KENYA 1. Background Introduction Kenya’s development agenda as expounded in the vision 2030 is for the country to transform itself into a newly industrialised middle-income economy providing a high quality of life to its citizen and providing clean and safe water while simultaneously meeting the SDGs by 2030. The SDG Goal 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. Target 6.5; by 2030 implement, Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) at all levels, including through transboundary cooperation as appropriate. Indicator 6.5.1; Degree of Integrated Water Resources Management implementation. Indicator 6.5.2; Proportion of Transboundary Basin Area with an operational arrangement for water cooperation. Kenya however, is facing a number of water resources challenges aggravated by global climate change. At the regional levels; challenges that in its transboundary water resources, Kenya is both an upstream & downstream country sharing approximately 65% with its neighbours. Some of the national challenges identified are; rapid population growth rate, unplanned settlements in both urban and water towers, high poverty levels among many others that are specific to the water sector. Various efforts have been made to address these challenges but these have mostly been done in silos, with the result that Kenya still lags behind in terms of implementation as we enter the last decade of the SDGs. Hence, the SDG6 IWRM Support Programme is a timely intervention and an opportunity for the country to advance IWRM as a means of fostering the water resources management improvements necessary to address clearly defined priority issues identified across other SDG targets through strengthened water governance. The SDG 6 IWRM support programme is an initiative designed to assist countries in achieving a focused and coordinated approach to the monitoring and implementation of SDG target 6.5: In Kenya, Kenya Water Partnership (KWP) is supporting the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation to implement the SDG 6 support programme action plan development. KWP and its partners promote IWRM as a holistic approach to findings solutions to water insecurity as a contribution to broader sustainable development. Alongside the IWRM plans are the climate change strategies that seek to address climate change catastrophes related to the water sector. Kenya Water Partnership (KWP) is an accredited country partnership of the Global Water Partnership (GWP). General Overview This report borrows from the medium-term priorities and corresponding resources in line with the “Big Four” Agenda and programmes included in the Third Medium Term Plan (MTP III, 2018-2022) of the Vision 2030. It further captures the broad development policies, plans and programmes for the financial year (FY) 2020/21 - 2022/23 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) budget. It further captures the broad development policies plans for the financial years 2020/21 -2022/23. In terms of institutions, there was involvement of key stakeholders consisting of a blend of partners representing national and county government agencies, civil society, academic institutions and the private sector. The stakeholders represented sectors involved in implementation of policies, programmes and strategies towards achievement of various SDGs, some of which though not directly related to IWRM, are affected by SDG6 implementation. Strategic Context The Sustainable Development Goals activities are spread out in mainly the Environmental Protection, Water and Natural Resources (EPWNR) Sector which consists of four (4) Sub-sectors of; Environment and Forestry; Water & Sanitation and Irrigation; Wildlife; and Mining in addition to the Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries sector. Findings from the SDG 6.5.1 baseline As part of the process towards the preparation of the IWRM Action Plan, in 2017-18 the Ministry of Water Sanitation and Irrigation was supported in the preparation of the degree of implementation of the Integrated Water Resources Management. This took the form of answering to the set of questions that focussed on four thematic areas of; Enabling Environment, Institutions and Participation, Management Instruments and Financing. The responses were scored on a percentage basis. The findings on the degree of implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management’, was determined through a questionnaire and calculated as 51.8% on a scale of 0 to 100, with 51.8% thus signifying medium implementation of IWRM in Kenya. The indicator 6.5.1 score is the average of each of the section scores as per the Completed Summary tabulation from the questionnaire is given in below. Table 1. Section Average Score Section 1 Enabling Environment 63.3 Section 2 Institutions and Participation 59.1 Section 3 Management Instruments 44.8 Section 4 Financing 40 Indicator 6.5.1 score = Degree of IWRM implementation (0-100) 51.8 Key lessons learnt in SDG 6 integrated monitoring and reporting The key lessons learned from the stage 1 SDG integrated monitoring and reporting were that; 1. Intersectoral monitoring team and establishment of National Steering committee improves ownership and coordination. 2. There is need for resource mobilization and linkages within the existing budgetary process. 3. Continual capacity building for both the national and county level is necessary. 4. Monitoring and reporting process ought to be aligned with the national/county processes and structures. 5. Use of the SDG 6 baseline data in policy making i.e draft water policy, Trans-boundary Water Bill is essential to inform future policy decisions. Relevant institutions The key ministries, their agencies and institutions identified as relevant in the implementation of SDG6.5 identified include the following; i. Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation and its state corporations ii. Ministry of Environment & Forestry and its state corporations iii. Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife its state corporations iv. Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Cooperative Development and its state corporations v. The National Treasury (Ministry of Finance). vi. The Kenya Water Towers Agency Other Collaborative institutions and partners identified include the following i. The County Governments are also involved in the respective areas of jurisdiction, through the Council of Governors. ii. Community based organization including Water Resources Users Associations, Forests Associations, Irrigation Water Users Associations iii. Kenya Association of Manufacturers, iv. Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA, v. WRG 2030. vi. National Environment Civil Society Alliance of Kenya (NECSA-K) vii. Kenya Water Partnership 2. Goal and objectives Goal and Objectives The overall ambition of the plan is to identify all the activities pertaining to SDG 6.5 as contained in the agencies that are involved in matters touching on the subject. The programmes covered in this report include: a. Water resources management, b. Water harvesting and storage, c. Water supply in urban and rural areas, d. Sanitation and sewerage, e. Transboundary water, f. Irrigation development, g. Agriculture and food security, h. Fisheries, aquaculture and blue water economy, i. Forestry and wildlife conservation, j. Land reclamation and drainage, k. Weather and climate information, l. Climate change and adaptation, m. Water towers and catchment management. The key result areas targeted are; a. Policy, legal and Institutional Framework. b. Management, Protection and Conservation of Water Resources and Transboundary Waters. c. Water Supply and Sanitation Coverage. d. Food Supply Expansion. e. Data collection and Information Technology. f. Partnership and Resource Mobilization. g. Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building. 3. Process Methodology and Planning Process The overall approach was based on the concept of identifying all initiatives as outlined in all the relevant sectors geared towards meeting the SDG 6.5 processes. This cuts across all that are known as primary delivery models; as shared between Government (National and County), Community Based Organizations and the private sector. Also, the interactions between these agencies in general. This involved the holding of a launch workshop to sensitize all the stakeholders on the project. During the workshop, the report on the stage one was presented and outcomes discussed in plenary. Thereafter participants were given a chance to present the programmes geared towards contributing towards the SDG 6.5 and a report of the same compiled. This was followed by formation of a multi stakeholder working group to develop the Action Plan based on input and data from IWRM related sectors. Follow up visits to the respective stakeholder offices were also done by the working group to formally collect information on policies, institutional strategies, plans and programmes. Coordination The Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation is the organization placed at the apex of the management of water resources. Among its role, bestowed to it is the responsibility to coordinate the sector. Therefore, coordination, implementation and monitoring of the SDG 6 in Kenya directly falls in the domain of this Ministry. The Kenya Water Partnership has been allocated the role to coordinate the multi-stakeholder action activities, while the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation takes government responsibility as the lead agency. Kenya has aligned itself to the global development agenda. It is notable that there are already commitments to sustainable development in Kenya from various stakeholders that make this alignment relatively easier. For success, the country will go beyond the current sectoral approach to development and follow an integrated approach, and further ensure that local-national linkages are harmonized to ensure that the SDGs are operationalized at all levels. Kenya has prepared SDGS transition Roadmap to SDGs - Kenya Transition Strategy 2016- 2018. This strategy is key in the transition agenda and will guide all the actors in the SDGs implementation process. As such, the strategy will be widely disseminated to as many stakeholders as possible. As a nation, Kenya thus reaffirms her commitment to the SDGs and their achievement. 4.

Risks and mitigation The biggest threat to implementation of the SDG 6 IWRM Action Plan is the prevailing Covid-19 pandemic which has weakened the economic outlook and affected budgetary processes at all levels of governance. This can be mitigated by first instituting emergency water and sanitation facilities to contain the pandemic while at the same time strengthening the water harvesting, storage, and distribution framework for sustainability. Another risk is the diversion of funding to concentrate on non-water related Covid-19 interventions like purchasing of masks and emergency health care which are essential services. This should be complimented by implementing IWRM at the lowest possible level while also strengthening strategic infrastructure. Hence, resource mobilization efforts will be stepped up to tap into mostly global water and climate funding mechanisms such as GCF, Adaptation Fund, etc. 9.
