1. | Watershed rehabilitation should not be done in isolation. Watershed rehabilitation works done in isolation are not sustainable due to the risks of the lack of protection upstream and downstream of the works. For example, the works to protect the school and church in Bujumbura do not protect the upstream areas of the watershed. The risk of the river changing its course isolating the church and school from road infrastructure, is significant A well prepared PRF is essential effectively guide implementation of a project. An economy of words to describe the outcomes, indicators, baseline and targets would have been more desirable to clarify the intentions of the CDRM Project. In addition, indicators should reflect the intended outcomes such as Outcome 3’s investments into watershed protection, landslide prevention, and adaptive technologies, not early warning systems.

1 |
|
2 | Improve the technical capacities of institutions (i.e. IGEBU, provincial governments, communal services and local communities) to manage the mapping of climate-induced flood and erosion risks along the Ntahangwa watershed. |
3 | Establish an investment program that carries on the work of CDRM Project on the Ntahangwa watershed |
4 | Continue with investment programs to promote livelihood resilience and green entrepreneurship. |
5 | For subsequent projects to CDRM, step up safeguard-related requirements as per UNDP’s latest guidance to ensure that sufficient resources are allocated to conduct this work |
6 | Engage with the GoB to enforce co-financing commitments |
7 | For subsequent projects to CDRM, prepare a PRF with SMART indicators with an economy of words. |
Key Action Update History
- Complete EWS training on the next project by:
- providing flood forecast training after the multimodal software (ACMAD and MyDEWETRA: weather and hydrological forecasting tools) is operational after its design phase. This is a follow-up to CIMA-trained IGEBU experts responsible for analyzing and producing weather reports;
- ensuring the maintenance of the hydrological stations by purchasing sensors as some of them have been worn out;
- putting into place a contingency plan for the EWS by conducting simulation exercises; and
- training EWS focal points on the effectives use of the EWS communication tools at IGEBU. This would mean that EWS communication tools should be distributed to the EWS focal points and the emergency management and decision-making team in the field.
