Oxfam Transboundary Water Governance TROSA 2016-2022

Oxfam Novib has applied for support from Sida amounting to 105 234 986 SEK for the implementation of the regional program "Improving regional cross-border water resource management" in South Asia (India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Myanmar) during the period 2016-2022. The program will help vulnerable people in the three river basins in South Asia to gain better access to and control of trans-boundary water resources. The planned results are: - Improved policies and practices of governments that protect the rights of river basin communities to water resources. - Improved policies and practice of private sector and other actors that respect the right to river basin communities to water resources. - Strengthened capacity of river basin communities and civil society to influence trans-boundary water resource management. A fourth result is mainstreamed in the program and intends to strengthen women's profile and influence in the dialogue and decision-making related to water resource management and infrastructure. Sweden is the sole financier of the program, but additional funding is possible and will be further looked into during the inception phase. Approximately 55% of the budget will be paid to a number of international/regional organizations, and through Oxfam's country offices in the four countries which will forward funds to local organizations. The program will help vulnerable people in the three river basins in South Asia to gain better access to and better control of transboundary vattenreurser. The planned results are: - Improved policies and practices for agencies that help to protect the rights to water for vulnerable communities in the riverine areas. - Improved policies and practices for companies and other actors which respect the rights to water for vulnerable communities in the riverine areas.
