Acknowledgements

The authors of this guide, Catarina Fonseca, Ewcn Le Borgne] Cor Dietvorst, Ingeborg Krukkert fromIRC International Water and Sanitation Centre and Diego Mejía-Vélez from WaterLearn have preparedthis report in January 2006. The Water Resource Coordination Unit of the Economic Community ofWest African States (ECOWAS) requested the compilation of this guide, with support from the DanishInternational Development Agency (DANIDA).

This guide does not claim to be comprehensive and is certainly worth further investigation and upkeepin order to become and remain a financial directory pertinent to and used by water sector stakeholders.In spite of its limitations, the present document provides a wealth of information which would not havebeen possible without similar work carried out in earlier years. The authors would like to express theirgratitude and extensive consideration for the work carried out first and foremost by the FinanceWorking Group of the European Union Water Initiative. Rachel Cardone of ERM - Environment andResource Management, in particular, has provided adequate and well-received support and has greatlyenhanced the focus of this directory.

All persons mentioned in the overview sheets in this guide have been contacted so as to ensure thequality of information. We virçntld like to extend our thanks to all those that have indeed respondedpositively and reviewed the overview sheets.

Finally, the authors would like to express their gratitude to the forthcoming team that will improve andupdate information contained in this guide, in the most useful way to bring support to populations inneed of sustained access to water and sanitation services.

Part I -Introduction to the Financing Guide

1. Who is this guide for?

This guide is aimed at West African-based organisations looking for grants and/or soft loans to financeprojects and programmes focusing on domestic water and sanitation, Integrated Water ResourceManagement (IWRM), wastewater management and/or irrigation.

This Financing Guide does not constitute a recipe for funding nor does it guarantee that a givenapplicant - organisation or individual - will receive the funds required. We hope, however, that thereader will find the overview sheets with key information on funding sources available useful and thats/he will be able to make informed decisions as to the best financing options for his/her programme orproject.

1.1 West African-based organisations

This guide hopes to provide meaningful context-specific information. Therefore, this particular guideputs emphasis on financing mechanisms that organisations based in West-Africa can apply for. Wehope that our focus narrows down the selection to adequate funding sources for people andorganisations in West Africa working in the water sector, whether of public or private nature, or actorsfrom the civil society.

2. What is the focus of this guide?

2.1 Water supply and sanitation, Integrated Water Resource Management, wastewatermanagement, irrigation

Some level of distinction had to be made within the broad water sector to consider the needs ofECOWAS. The guide provides information for:1 Domestic water supply and sanitation;2 Integrated Water Resource Management;

Within these, we have also considered separately the following sub-sectors:3 Wastewater management;4 Irrigation.

This typology, while not necessarily mentioned as such in the funding sources, reflects key sub-fields inwhich water sector stakeholders are working. The different financing mechanisms have subsequentlybeen examined also in light of their relevance for any of these specific sub-sectors.

2.2 Focus on grants (and soft loans)

Grants are sums of money that do not need to be repaid. In the water sector, grants can be provided bybilateral agencies (donors) for use at a project level, or for other, specific purposes, in the form of cash,goods, or services. Grants and concessional loans are the key categories of finance provided as"development aid" which qualify as Overseas Development Assistance (ODA), or Official Aid. Grantscan also be provided by foundations and non-governmental organisations for projects.

The focus of the Guide is on grants and other aid-based funds. We have also included some sources offunds that might provide a combination of grants and soft loans. However, some of the grants requireco-financing by the applicant, which can be has high as 50%.

Financing Guide-March 2006-ECOWAS S

2.3 Finance sources

We hope that the reader will find this guide easy to read and easy enough to tailor to his/her needs. T >facilitate reading, we have proposed the following typology of finance sources:

1. Local and regional African funds:Financing mechanisms managed by national or regional African organisations.

2 European Union Aid:Financing mechanisms and instruments provided by the European Union and its various officialbodies.

3 Bilateral Aid:Financing mechanisms provided by national Development Cooperation Agencies fromEuropean countries and other bilateral donors (such as Canada, Japan and the United States).

4 Development Banks and Bank programmes:Financing mechanisms made available by the World Bank, regional development Banks (inparticular the African Development Bank) and programmes, as well as other developmentbanks with activities in West Africa.

5 Financing facilities:Financing facilities are a new modality for providing funds to the water sector. The purpose ofa (financing) facility is to dedicate funds to particular types of projects or sectors and to do soby various means, including support in project preparation.

6 Foundations and other funds:This final category includes all other types of financing mechanisms, i.e. foundations, variousphilanthropic funds and private sector associations.

Financial intermediaries (International NGO's that channel funds for instance) have not been addressedin this Guide.

For a list of organisations and networks in the water supply and sanitation sector, organised per regionand country one may consult lnterWATER Organisations htto://www.irc.nl/page/126.InterWATER offers information about metre than 650 organisations and networks in the water supplyand sanitation sector, related to developing countries. Each organisation has a short description, contactdetails, e-mail and website address, and related sites where applicable.

3. What is not included in this guide?

The water sector is vast and varied. Its boundaries with other sectors tend to fluctuate. As much asIntegrated Water Resource Management is becoming increasingly popular, with a broader perspectiveon water management issues, the water sector itself is steadily exploring its edges with other sectors orsub-sectors such as agriculture or health and hygiene. While blurring boundaries may be seen as a tokenof enrichment and integration, for the water (and adjacent) sectors, they make the census of availablefinancing mechanisms wider and more difficult. In this light, some choices had to be made around ourexpected prime audience's preferences.

This guide has a primary focus on the water sector. The sanitation sector is also addressed in thesepages, though to a lesser extent. To this date, sanitation is still not as visible and recognized as a basicnecessity as water. Political interest in sanitation seems also more limited. As a result, fewer financingmechanisms featured in this guide specifically address sanitation. These sanitation-oriented

Financing Guide - March 2006 - ECOWAS 9

mechanisms will hopefully be strengthened and further promoted, as interest and commitment towardssan'tation grow, in West Africa and in the rest of the world.

In terms of geographic scope, this guide does not cover financing mechanisms that are open exclusivelyto organisations based outside West Africa. For instance funds aimed at South African organisations arenot covered here, neither are European Union calls for proposals aimed at (only) Asian countries, evenif they are about water and sanitation. However, a financial mechanism applicable for Asian countriesmay be featured in this guide as long as it is also applicable for West-African organisations. The EUWater Facility is a good example of this as it is applicable to many organisations worldwide but it isstill a major financing instrument for West Africa based sector stakeholders.

To the extent possible, the overview sheets presented in this guide have been reviewed by theorganisations which provide the financing mechanisms. However, this guide does not provide feedbackfrom users of the financing mechanisms. Furthermore, the guide does not provide a judgement on thequality of the support provided by the donors on the process.

In the process of compiling overview sheets, a number of financing mechanisms were explored andproved irrelevant for the focus of this guide. Yet, results of this investigation may be of interest to thereader. As such we have included these in Annex 2: 'Other financing mechanisms - not applicable tothe water sector' We hope that these additional references will provide a helpful starting point to seekfunds for other types of projects and sectors if necessary.


4. Background to the Financing Guide

4.1 The context

West African governments are aware that water-related problems hamper their economic and socialdevelopment and they know that moving to new water management models, as suggested in Rio, hasbecome a priority. Therefore, they very well received the initiative to organise a regional conference inOuagadougou on Integrated Water Resource Management for West Africa.

The conference was held in March 1998 and it is considered a major turning point as regards watermanagement approaches in the region. Among other results, the "Ouagadougou statement" was adoptedand a Ministerial committee was founded to supervise monitoring and implementation of therecommendations made during the Conference.

The monitoring process led to the following results:

March 2000

December 2001

Adoption of a regional IWRM action plan for West Africa by the MinisterialMonitoring' Committee and in December 2000 by Heads of State and Governmentfrom ECOWAS gathered in Bamako.Creation by ECOWAS Heads of State and Government, of a permanent coordinationand monitoring framework (PFCM) for IWRM and for the regional action plan withinECOWAS, comprising four bodies:1. A Ministerial Monitoring Committee formalizing the monitoring committeefounded during the 1998 Conference.2. A Regional Collaborative Council on Water Resources (RCCWR), a consultativebody related to the Ministerial Monitoring Committee - involving representatives ofall regional water sector stakeholders.3. A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) institutionalizing the gathering ofnational focal points created in the monitoring process and strengthened byrepresentatives of all regional basin organisations.4. A regional Water Resources Coordination Unit (WRCU) acting as onedepartment of ECOWAS's executive secretariat. This unit is running since- 12March 2004.

The process furthermore helped raise awareness around IWRM among decision-makers and end usersof the regional water sector. It also contributed to advocacy activities among development partners,with a view to channelling the required funding to implement PFCM and the regional IWRM actionplan in West Africa.

Statutes of the institutional framework in the region are being set in place. The first projects of theregional IWRM action plan for West Africa are now funded. In this respect, it is essential to define afinancing strategy to fund other projects of the IWRM action plan that have been defined but not fundedyet, as well as future IWRM projects that will be designed in the framework of the PFCM.

In this context, the Water Resources Coordination Unit has requested IRC - International Water andSanitation Centre based in The Netherlands to compile a document with "fact-sheets" of possibleprogrammes and funds available to the water sector. This document has the financial support of TheDanish International Development Agency (DANIDA).

Financing Guide - March 2006 -. ECOWAS II

4.2 The Financing Guide of the European Union Water Initiative

ECOWAS agreed to let the Finance Working Group of the European Union Water Initiative (EUWI)feature the information provided in this guide on the Financing Guide website, set to go live in the firstquarter of 2006. The objective of the EUWI financing guide is to provide users of finance in developingcountries with a means to identify different types of finance mechanisms that are available for the watersector, how they work (broadly), and finally to provide linkages to other sites on the Internet, featuringadditional details and information.

This effort is a first step towards creating a comprehensive "one-stop" source of information about therange of finance mechanisms available for the water and sanitation sector, with a view to increaseknowledge and capacity for accessing finance.

It is envisaged that this tool could be developed to provide users with a "walk through" of the differentprocesses relating to the mechanisms including, for instance:

How to obtain a credit rating, how to apply for certain types of financing, guidance on whattypes of financing are possible, given current circumstances;The steps required to access different mechanisms, and the overall process of accessingdifferent finance mechanisms (e.g. hyper-links to application forms, contact information, oreven a "live" expert network, standard guidance and tools for filling out forms, informationabout common stumbling blocks that delay the process and how to overcome these, etc).

5. Recommendations

This Finance Guide provides an extensive, and not complete, list of finance sources. We have narrowedthe scope of the document by focusing primarily on grants, some of which have a component of "selfcontribution". However, there is an increasing number of financing mechanisms for the sector whichinclude microfinance, guarantees, soft loans, project preparation facilities, etc, which might proveinteresting to explore. Much of this information will be available in the EUWI website mentioned inbibliography and other useful web links.

The process of filling in some of the application forms for accessing finance is a complex and timeconsuming exercise. We realise that many financing programmes follow a time frame for call forproposals and that many organisations follow an opportunistic approach to develop projects specificallyfor the calls. However, what usually happens is that the proposals always take much more time andeffort to develop than anticipated and the final proposal is not always at the level of desired quality.

Therefore, in order to make the most out of limited time and resources we recommend the following:

• It is more useful to develop proposals that contribute to the strengthening of the organisation or thathave the desired impact in the sector when there is a clear vision about how we would like the world(or our organisation) to be at some stage in the future. For instance, in a specific district, we wouldlike to achieve 100% coverage for water supply in the next 10 years. Or, we would like that the

[ agricultural production in this province grows 10% in the next 5 years, or that there is a reduction by50% of those leaving below the poverty line.

• Departing from the vision, it becomes possible to devise a strategy. A strategy is a medium to long-term planning framework for moving towards the vision, within which, concrete activities areidentified. Strategies relate to the factors that we can control - for an organisation they include theactivities and services offered. The projects developed should fit within this strategy for achievingthe vision.

• Develop programmes which help to create an enabling environment for further investment andreform. Think about scale and long term impacts. Pilot projects are implemented by large, well

Financing Guide -March 2006 -ECOWAS 12

equipped project teams working intensively with communities. It is not realistic to expect successfulscaling up from such a base if similar resources cannot be deployed more widely or if personnel withsimilar skills are not available in the region or country.

Researchers, NGOs, donors and other implementers typically come into a community, do theirresearch (participatory or otherwise), produce a report and some academic papers, do a'dissemination workshop' and move on to the next project. Often there is no consolidation of lessonslearned, no true sharing of results and no development of national or district-level ownership.Uptake and scaling-up is left to ill-defined processes of 'dissemination' and 'advocacy'. This type ofresearch programme does not allow for capacity building within the relevant regulatory andimplementing institutions such as local government, the private sector, NGOs and extensionservices. Staff in these agencies is not given the skills to take the innovations to scale.

Learning components need to be done throughout the process of programme implementation, not atthe end. In conventional approaches most programme meetings tend to be about planning andnegotiation, not learning. Failures must be allowed and must be discussed openly. For this tohappen, documentation, reporting and dissemination should be properly planned and budgeted for.When documentation is everyone's business it quickly becomes no-one's!

The water and sanitation sector suffers from fragmentation into a number of sub-sectors, principallythose dealing with a) domestic water supply, b) sewerage and waste-water, c) irrigation, d) waterresources management, and of course e) health. At the same time the sector is linked with manyother sectors such as local government, rural development, social welfare and health. Centralisedplanning from the past has made it difficult to bring these (typically) governmental stakeholderstogether to work effectively at the local level or to obtain synergies between them. Joint planning,financing and implementation of interventions has therefore been difficult. The more recent trends todecentralisation offer the opportunity to bring these actors together for more 'joined up' planning.

Each agency might have their ideas for proposal development but it might be more efficient andeffective, for all the reasons mentioned above, to focus on those activities which arc part of lhe corecompetencies of the organisation and partner with other organisations which will also be doing whatthey are best at.

A practical idea is to organise a 1-2 day workshop with key stakeholders for concept-proposaldevelopment. Concept-proposals are the initial ideas around proposal development. Present a coupleof ideas based on real needs in the area and discuss and develop these concepts in small groups. Theconcepts can then be presented and discussed in plenary. The next phase will include checkingwhich sources of funding are the most indicated to further develop the proposals. The process ofgetting broad feedback and potential partners in one meeting are invaluable to foster furthercooperation.

For the development of the proposals, it is essential to assess actual local needs, specify theobjectives to be achieved, the activities required to reach the objectives, calculate how muchfinance is needed, and how it can best be obtained. Transparency throughout the process isessential, particularly as different partners and stakeholders have different incentives - for example,potential beneficiaries of a project, such as private companies and consultants, may have a vestedinterest to see that the largest possible estimate of investment need is used, rather than what is themost sustainable for the beneficiary community to bear, in terms of financial and technical capacity.

Direct funning for small proposals might not be acceptable for many donors, as the transactioncosts arc too high and the impact minimum. Consider larger, long term integrated programmes withmany sub-components to make it more attractive to larger donors. Contact the direct representativesof financing programmes to make a presentation on different financing possibilities in order to fitdemand with supply at an early stage of proposal development.

Title: Senior-Ranking Term Debt

OBJECTIVESTo address the scarcity of long term debt for significant private sector-basedinfrastructure development through the provision of long term debt finance thatcan be tailored to suit the typically longer term nature of cash flow profiles arisingin infrastructure.To be responsive to market needs by working with all participants (hostgovernments, private sector sponsors and NGOs alike) to create appropriatefinancing solutions to meet the challenges of private sector financing in the region,including where possible and appropriate the facilitation of local capital marketinvolvement.To ensure as far as is possible that all activity receiving support from the Fundconforms to internationally acceptable environmental and social impact standards.To operate on private sector commercial principles and so demonstrate the viabilityof long-term commercial lending into sub-Saharan Africa.To increase the size of the Fund and its effectiveness through using leverage ofadditional donor money to attract new private sector capital that would otherwisebe unlikely to be made available to the repion, ;

SPECIFIC PRIORITIESDevelopment of Infrastructure and the involvement of the private sector are thetwo key points of focus for the Fund: infrastructure development is seen as a pre-requisite for economic growth and the private sector is seen to be best able toidentify and manage risks associated with such development in many sectors so asto ensure assets and services perform over time. Furthermore, infrastructurethroughout sub-Saharan Africa has suffered acute underinvestment with the publicsector being increasingly incapacitated and constrained.
