I. Project Context A. Country Context 1. The Senegal River Basin covers a surface area of about 300,000 km2. The high plateau in northern Guinea represents 31,000 km2 (11 percent of the basin), 155,000 km2 is situated in western Mali (53 percent of the basin), 75,500 km2 is in southern Mauritania (26 percent of the basin) and 27,500 km2 is in northern Senegal (10 percent of the basin). The basin has three distinct parts: the upper basin, which is mountainous, the valley (itself divided into high, middle and lower) and the delta, which is a source of biological diversity and wetlands. Topographical, hydrographic and climatic conditions are very different in these three regions and seasonal temperature variations are extensive. The upper valley receives 700 – 2,000 mm of rainfall annually and provides most of the flow in the river. The middle valley and delta only receive 150 – 300 mm of rainfall annually. The total annual discharge of the Senegal River is estimated at 24 billion m3 per year but this annual flow is highly irregular. 2. The four riparian countries of the Senegal River Basin rank among the poorest countries in the world with 42-53% of the population living below the poverty line and a GNI per capita as low as $430 in Guinea. All have some of the lowest Human Development Indices, with rankings within the bottom 32 countries in the world. The total riparian population is estimated at 35 million inhabitants, of which 12 million live in the basin. These are mostly subsistence or smallholder farmers so are among the most vulnerable groups in the region. The population growth rate is estimated at 2.7 percent and the population is expected to double every 25 years. All the riparian countries are facing energy shortages and growing demand, which is hampering their economic performance. Food security is another critical need across the basin. Yet, the basin’s hydropower and irrigation potential are significantly underexploited, as described in the next section. Increased water storage and infrastructure, coupled with multi-purpose water resources development and management, are therefore crucial to addressing the growing demand for water and food, and to ensure sustainable growth and the welfare of the people living in the Basin. Furthermore, unilateral planning and development of water infrastructure could have far reaching consequences for socio-political stability and sustainable development in the region. 3. Coordinated river basin planning and coordinated investment is therefore essential in such a vulnerable area to ensure that the risks of large scale water investment are mitigated and the benefits of investments are shared. The Organisation pour la mise en valeur du fleuve Sénégal (Organization for the Development of the Senegal River - OMVS) has the mandate of securing countries’ economies and reducing the vulnerability of peoples’ livelihoods through coordinated water resources and energy development. OMVS was established in 1972 in the context of severe droughts, famine and degradation of the natural resource base. The current OMVS structure includes four countries: Guinea, Mali, Mauritania and Senegal. Guinea is a recent entrant since 2006. Following the Nouakchott Declaration of May 2003, which sets the strategic orientation for development of the Senegal River Basin, the OMVS vision for regional integration includes accelerating the development of multi-purpose water resources infrastructure to augment the availability of water and generate low cost hydroelectricity. OMVS is a strong, stable regional organization and critically important for regional integration in West Africa. B. Sectoral and Institutional Context 4. In the Senegal River Basin sustainable development requires development in the energy and agriculture sectors while protecting local health and livelihoods. In addition, planning for future development needs to be done factoring in the increased climate risks and uncertainty. As one of the most advanced basin organizations in the region, and the only one to have jointly owned and managed water infrastructure, OMVS ensures an environment conducive to investments and is well-positioned to undertake multi-purpose and multi-sectoral investments as those proposed in the Senegal River Basin Multi-Purpose Water Resources Development (MWRD) program. 5. The overall sectoral and institutional context is outlined below. The Senegal River Basin Multi-Purpose Water Resources Development (MWRD2) Project is the second phase of a 10-year Program. Phase 1 of the program (MWRD1) has positively impacted the Basin across the agriculture, health and fisheries sectors. There have also been important contributions at the regional level for improved water resources management. The impacts of MWRD1 on the sectorial and institutional context are discussed below. The remaining sector and institutional needs are outlined at the end of this Section. Sector Context 6. Within the Senegal River Basin and beyond in the region, energy costs and food insecurity are increasing; in parallel with very slow development of the large potential for hydropower and irrigation development. The Basin has seen considerable migration of people due to worsening droughts and desertification since the early 1970s. Annual rainfall has a high variability between wet and dry seasons and also from year to year. Generally, decreasing mean annual rainfall levels have been the trend in West Africa over the last two decades illustrating the effects of climate change. A time series analysis of the Senegal River’s annual low volumes strongly suggests that water resources availability has been substantially curtailed since 1960. During the coming century, climate change will contribute to increasing the population at risk of increased water stress in Africa to 75-250 million and 350-600 million people by 2020 and 2050, respectively. Furthermore, the region is struggling under the burden of soaring energy costs. Currently, irrigated farming remains limited to the middle and lower river valley between Mauritania and Senegal. Less than half of the irrigation potential for the basin, estimated at 375,000 ha, is currently developed. Of the 130,000 ha to 140,000 ha that are developed, only 90,000 ha are really usable. Hydropower potential is estimated at 1,200 MW of which less than 30 percent is currently exploited. Recent work led by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to prioritize the pipeline of proposed dams and develop supporting guidelines indicates increased regional support for water resources development. The Felou Hydropower Project will add another 60MW to the energy supply for Mauritania, Mali and Senegal but there are several other viable hydropower projects to be developed in the Senegal River Basin. 7. The development of navigation in the basin would contribute significantly to unlocking this latent potential. Commercial navigation on the Senegal River was practiced for about three centuries until the 1970s. During this period, river ports were constructed and river navigation was subject to official regulations. However, the construction of the port of Dakar, the Dakar-Bamako railway line, and the development of the road network, combined to cause the decline in Inland Water Transport (IWT) on the Senegal River. Despite this historical decline the Diama Dam and Manantali Dam were designed and constructed to also cater for the requirements of river transport and navigation is a key priority for upstream riparian states. 8. Water-related diseases associated with large water infrastructure are still prevalent, negatively affecting the Basin population’s health and economic productivity. According to a recent malaria indicator survey, malaria prevalence rates in the Senegal River Basin are estimated at 14.3% among children under 5 and 9.0% among pregnant women, the most vulnerable groups. Epidemiological mapping shows that Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) affect almost all districts along the Senegal River Basin. Studies have shown that integrated disease control measures, coupled with sound water management, are essential to mitigate the burden of malaria and NTDs in locations near irrigation or dam sites. 9. Reduced productivity of the fishing sector and environmental degradation has also negatively impacted the basin population. Fishing is the largest economic activity in the basin after agriculture. However fish catches have declined across the basin, in part due to changes in hydrology and also from unsustainable fishing practices. 10. Under MWRD1, support was provided to improve sector planning and advance water resources development, while mitigating the negative impacts of such development. Important achievements across several sectors (agriculture, energy, health, environment, fisheries) were realized through regional cooperation. Although steps have been taken under the previous project, significant needs still remain to be addressed under MWRD2. 11. Due to the high public health vulnerability of the population in the basin, it is critical that development of irrigation and other infrastructure is completed in parallel with programs to protect local communities from the associated public health risks. With a growing basin population of more than 12 million people and new water infrastructure planned or under construction, further steps are needed to continue the support for mass coverage of long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) and effective treatment of schistosomiasis and geohelminthiasis. In addition, member states of OMVS have demanded support to expand the control of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) to include other water-related diseases that are co-endemic in the river basin. These NTDs are Lymphatic Filariasis, Onchocerciasis and Trachoma. Integrated treatment of these diseases will be a more efficient intervention and will reduce overall costs for treatment of NTDs. As the riverine population is mobile across the four riparian countries any public health strategy has to address treatment at a regional level and across the four countries simultaneously in order to be most effective. 12. The impacts of climate change in the future will necessitate adaptation on the part of water resource management institutions and water users. Adaptation may involve trade-offs among the needs of different sectors, for example, maximizing power production or maintaining in-stream flows for fish. Climate change predictions will also have a significant impact on the management of the dams in the Senegal River Basin. Examples of adaptations to climate change in the water sector in developing countries are not well documented. Studied adaptation options for arid and semi-arid regions include; rainwater harvesting, water storage in underground reservoirs, the development of salt tolerant crops to make use of brackish water and options that reduce the demand for water such as improved irrigation efficiency and water recycling. Where water resource management decisions are taken without proper information on possible future climate change impacts, sub-optimal adaptation may result in exacerbating vulnerabilities to future climate change. 13. Water Resources planning has been advanced; however there are further steps to be taken to ensure that this translates into investments in sustainable water infrastructure. Despite the needs for power and food security, a pipeline of transformative investment projects has not been well developed. In addition, studies are needed to integrate Guinea into the West Africa power pool, and to unlock the huge hydropower potential there. The activities proposed under MWRD2 will therefore ensure that OMVS continues to contribute effectively to addressing regional and national priorities and has a viable portfolio of investments for future financing. 14. Following the studies completed on Diama dam it has been established that emergency maintenance is required to ensure that the life of the structure is extended. Diama dam, built in 1986, both protects and facilitates the majority of investments in irrigation and fisheries in both Mauritania and Senegal, with upstream impacts reaching as far as Mali. However following almost 30 years of operation in a highly corrosive environment some elements, including control systems and gates, are in a critical condition. Institutional Context 15. OMVS was established in 1972 with the mandate of securing countries’ economies and reducing the vulnerability of peoples’ livelihoods through coordinated water resources and energy development. Since 1978, OMVS has formally adopted the principles of equality and equity, with the allocation of benefits and costs based on the needs of the member states, their capacity to put to use the benefits provided by the river, and the actual uses derived from the river (Nguyen, 1982). The current OMVS structure includes four countries: Guinea, Mali, Mauritania and Senegal. The river basin integrated development program has three pillars: (i) water resources management; (ii) hydropower development; and (iii) inland water transport as a “dorsal spine� of an intermodal/multimodal transport system. The program is the product of a long process of cooperation among Mauritania, Mali and Senegal which commenced during the colonial era to jointly develop shared resources. Over this period OMVS has become a key river basin authority in the region, with influence beyond the basin boundaries; for example it has hosted the African Network of Basin Organizations since its formation in 2002. As one of the most advanced basin organizations in the region, OMVS ensures an environment conducive to investments, particularly large water-related infrastructure. With a long-standing, established track record spanning more than 40 years, OMVS is well-positioned to undertake the multi-purpose and multi-sectoral investments proposed in this program. 16. With the support of MWRD1, OMVS completed the Inclusive Framework to integrate the fourth riparian country - Guinea - into the Senegal River Basin Development Program. In March 2006, the treaty was signed to integrate Guinea as the fourth riparian country and the four Heads of State approved the implementation of the joint Senegal River Basin Development Program. The inclusion of Guinea provided an opportunity for OMVS to embark on a comprehensive program of legal and institutional reforms, incorporating environmental and social issues, among other aspects which were not fully considered at the initial establishment of the organization. 17. The Bank’s investment program and support to OMVS is extremely critical for reasons that go beyond the immediate energy and water sector needs in the Senegal River Basin, and incorporate regional socio-political stability, environmental sustainability and protection of highly vulnerable communities. The MWRD program represents the first major test of OMVS’ Inclusive Frame work by including Guinea as a full member in the joint ownership, financing and management of water infrastructure in the Senegal River Basin. 18. Although major steps were taken in MWRD1 there are still a number of key issues which need to be resolved to support the continued implementation of the Inclusive Framework. The main issues are renegotiation of the partition of benefits and costs among the four member states and updating the national legislation for water resources management in Guinea, now that the country has adopted OMVS legislation as the overarching framework. 19. The sharing of benefits among Mali, Mauritania and Senegal was formally agreed by the Council of Ministers in 1981; and although some aspects have been adjusted and updated in line with basin developments they have never been formally adopted. Differences between the new and old sharing of benefits were too large to be politically acceptable and finally no revisions were ever made to the 1981 partition. With the recent inclusion of Guinea, the member states of OMVS want to re-evaluate the sharing of benefits and costs and formerly adopt a new "key� i.e. a new matrix for the partition of costs and benefits. Recent studies by the World Bank on OMVS have also highlighted inequalities in how the benefits and costs of development are shared with the population at large. Some segments of the population have benefited from the developments facilitated by OMVS (for example urban populations) while others have not – and in some cases, have been negatively impacted (for example traditional recessional farmers). This issue of sharing of benefits, both internationally and within the basin populations illustrates why it is crucial that the relationship between OMVS and the riparian countries, especially Guinea, be supported through sustained regional investments. II. Project Development Objective(s)/Global Environmental Objective(s) A. Project Development Objective(s) 20. The Program Development Objective of MWRD2 will remain the same as of MWRD1: to enhance regional integration among the riparian countries of the Senegal River Basin through OMVS for multi-purpose water resources development to improve community livelihoods. 21. The MWRD2 Project Objective will be to improve coordinated management of water resources for socially, environmentally and economically sustainable development in the Senegal River Basin. 22. Responding to the needs of OMVS and the riparian states, MWRD2 will have broadly similar components to MWRD1 as follows: (i) consolidating and further strengthening the institutional, legal and technical framework of the Senegal River Basin to better serve all four riparian countries, (ii) expanding the scope and coverage of concrete water resources development activities at the local level that generate significant income to reduce poverty, and (iii) supporting water resources development and planning, both by developing and maintaining water infrastructure, and in supporting future planning within the basin. MWRD2 activities will primarily be located in the priority zones defined by studies in MWRD1. Each component will scale-up activities started under MWRD1, incorporating lessons learnt and taking forward successful elements for further development. Climate resilience will also be strengthened through the activities supported by GEF funding. B. Global Environmental Objective(s) 23. Strengthen trans-boundary water resources management in the Senegal River Basin including climate change adaptation and implementation of priority actions of the Strategic Action Plan. . III.

V. Implementation Institutional and Implementation Arrangements 4. The Project will be anchored at the regional level and implemented by OMVS. The Bank will enter into financing agreements with each of the four member countries and into a project agreement with OMVS. The proceeds of the IDA financing will be made available to OMVS under subsidiary agreements between each of the countries and OMVS. A brief summary of the implementation arrangement is provided here. 5. The High Commission is the executive branch of OMVS, reporting to the Council of Ministers, which has the mandate to regulate and monitor water-related development in the Senegal River Basin on behalf of the riparian states. At the national level, the OMVS constituency is based on the national cellules. Each national cellule assists in the implementation and monitoring of OMVS projects and the national cellule coordinator is a permanent member of the advisory body of OMVS. 6. OMVS will ensure the overall coordination and supervision of the project on behalf of the four riparian countries. A Regional Steering Committee, established by the Council of Ministers, will maintain oversight of all initiatives supported by the MWRD program. National cellules will coordinate and supervise activities implemented at a national level. OMVS will continue to have full autonomy and responsibility to conduct the review of the quality of all procurement processes for works, goods and consulting services irrespective of the cost estimate. OMVS will also continue to coordinate with executing agencies and will be responsible for overall fiduciary management. OMVS will be supported by the regional technical agencies SGEM, SOGED and SOGENAV. 7. The PCU established under MWRD1 will continue to support procurement, financial management, administrative arrangements and convening implementing partners for meetings, evaluations and exchange of ideas and lessons learned. This team will be strengthened with additional expertise, including a civil engineer, hydrologist, agroforestry specialist and climate change expert. Furthermore, the team previously responsible for the implementation of Dutch and GEF Trust funds will be merged with the PCU to ensure coherence of all the projects and to reduce overhead costs. 8. At the national level, in addition to maintaining the staffing levels of MWRD1, a technical focal point will be appointed at each national cellule to improve accountability of monitoring of project implementation at the national level. The national cellules will also provide key input to the review process of activities undertaken at the regional level to ensure that national interests are being adequately taken into consideration. 9. Hydro-agricultural, agroforestry and water resources protection activities under MWRD2 will be implemented by the same executing agencies used in MWRD1, namely ADRS, DNGR, SAED, SONADER. OMVS will sign annual performance management contracts with these executing agencies to ensure satisfactory implementation of the concerned activities. The performance management contracts will be strengthened for MWRD2 based on the lessons learnt from MWRD1. 10. The health component will be implemented through national authorities with assistance from Community Implementing Agencies (CIAs) and OMVS technical experts. National and sub national steering committees, based around existing health structures where possible, will be reactivated or established to provide support and guidance to CIAs and NGOs. The PCU will coordinate with the national NTD programs to submit joint requests for the supply of donated drugs for NTDs. Results Monitoring and Evaluation 11. The scope and reach of this multi-sectoral regional project requires a monitoring and evaluation system which is robust and decentralized to facilitate systematic data collection in each of the four countries. Data will be tracked for each of the indicators identified in the Results Framework which will be aggregated at the national and regional level by OMVS. The Environmental Observatory of OMVS will have overall responsibility for M&E. All data collected under the project will be supplied to the Observatory in a form suitable for integration into the database of the Environmental Observatory and relevant data provided by the Environmental Observatory will be used to inform the Project M&E. 12. As under MWRD1, each of the executing agencies will have a key role in collecting data at the community level. For the health component data collection analysis and local utilization will be ensured at district and country level through the existing Health Ministries Information Systems. A range of monitoring techniques will be used, including sentinel surveillance sites and lot quality assurance sampling (LQAS) surveys, to assess intervention coverage. 13. An evaluation of MWRD1 will be financed to provide a detailed baseline for MWRD2. At the end of MWRD2 a full evaluation of the program will also be completed to provide a detailed final analysis and try to quantify to the extent possible the impacts of the program. Sustainability 14. The program is designed with features to build ownership, opportunities for scaling up and reliability to ensure long term sustainability for water resources development in the Senegal River Basin. 15. Institutional Sustainability: The project will build institutional sustainability through capacity building, provision of hardware and development of systems at the regional, national and local levels. Particular attention will be afforded at the local level and a decentralized and participatory approach to implementation inclusive of all relevant stakeholders will be used to build trust, empowerment and ownership. Regular consultations with affected communities have taken place throughout the preparation of the project. National Project Planning Committees (NPPCs) were established in each riparian country and these committees participated actively in project preparation. Thus, stakeholders at both the national and regional levels have combined ownership of the project, so as to promote uniformity of purpose. The institutional arrangements for MWRD2 will utilize to the extent possible the institutions in place and capitalize on those whose capabilities were previously developed under MWRD1. In addition, through MWRD1, a model to involve civil society in project preparation was introduced in the Senegal Basin. OMVS and the riparian countries supported this time-consuming but vital and important process at the technical and political levels. The commitment to a broad participatory process is maintained for MWRD2. Community level organizations will be supported to implement and manage the local water resources development. For example, irrigation cooperatives and fisheries councils will be trained. Support will also be continued to those organizations formed or supported under MWRD1 in order to support the sustainability of the project and to build a wider base of capacity. In this aspect the project will link to the work under the Dutch Trust Fund which will train and support Water User Associations to maintain the channels supplying irrigation areas. 16. Economic and Financial Sustainability: At the regional level the project will support the finalization of the agreement for sharing of costs and benefits which will support equitable long term development among the member states. This work will support the financial and economic sustainability of the project outcomes as well as supporting shared decision making and sustained cooperation among the member states. The economic sustainability of the small-scale infrastructure will be promoted through the development of user associations which mobilize community contributions for operation and maintenance. The water user associations and other cooperative groups which will be supported under the project, are governed by internal regulations that require users to take responsibility for: the full operation of the facilities, the payment of fees to maintain infrastructure and purchase the inputs and services necessary for the development of agricultural land, and other measures to ensure the sustainability of the facilities. Pricing levels are set taking into account the specificity and complexity of infrastructure, operation and maintenance requirements, as well as beneficiaries’ ability to pay. 17. The project will generate a wide range of direct benefits including: a. Economic benefits: Regional economic benefits through effective cooperation in support of hydropower development; and community level economic benefits within and beyond project intervention sites; through increased agricultural productivity and enhanced fishing activities. Sustainable fisheries management and support will translate to reduction in post capture losses, increased processing quality and protected stocks leading to increased revenues. b. Health benefits: The proposed project will address water related diseases, in particular the reduction of the most common neglected tropical diseases and the vector-control aspects of malaria. The positive health impact of the project is expected to be considerable; the use of long-lasting insecticidal bed nets (LLINs) during MWRD1 has demonstrated a reduction of parasitaemia in target populations from 5.7 percent in 2008–09 to 2.9 percent in 2010–11. This has associated economic impacts. Malaria has a significant impact on the economic well-being of individual households and communities as well as aggregate economic output and growth. Leading economists have estimated that malaria is responsible for an ‘economic growth penalty’ of up to 1.3% per year in malaria endemic African countries 1 . A 2013 study by WHO on insecticide-treated nets in Sub Saharan Africa has revealed that use of LLINs is one of the most cost-effective interventions against malaria. It has been estimated that the annual rates of return on investment in control of neglected tropical diseases are about 14 to 30%2. . c. Nutritional benefits: The project will support fisheries, which are a main source of protein for the local area. In addition, the rehabilitation of irrigation schemes in the area will induce increased levels of crops production, in particular rice production, which is a major staple food for communities living along the Senegal River, and diversified nutrition from market gardens. d. Environmental benefits: including improved water resources management, and reduced erosion and siltation due to slope protection and reforestation. 18. Environmental and Social Sustainability: Poverty reduction in the rural development context will be addressed through public health improvements, the protection and enhancement of sustainable community livelihoods in traditional recession and irrigated agriculture and through small scale fisheries. Women, often the most vulnerable group, are supported through targeted interventions for fish processing and small fields/gardens. Additional measures are taken, such as development of laundry areas and increased access to enhance the social impact of the project. Environmental protection or sustainability is built into the project through water resources protection, including reforestation and river basin restoration as well as support to institutions to improve resource management, for example, enforcing controls to fishing during reproductive periods. Finally the implementation of the Bank’s safeguards policies will further help to ensure environmental and social sustainability. . VI.
