• What does INRM mean?

17
The basics of integration

• More coordinated decision-making across sectors
  and scales

18
Misconceptions

• INRM demands wholesale integration.

• Sectoral decision-making should be abandoned
  entirely.

19
Risks of fully sectoral approach

• Overlooking negative impacts on environment and
  other sectors
• Inefficient use of resourcesnatural and
  financial

Integrated approach
Sectoral approach

Risks of fully integrated approach

• Getting mired in complexity.
• Not making good use of specialist expertise.

Finding a Balance
Each country needs to decide where integration
makes sense based on its social, political and
hydrological situation

• What is the role of a strategy?

24
Catalyst for Change

• An INRM strategy and policy can be a catalyst for
  action and ultimately, positive change.

25
A coherent approach to change

• A strategy should effect actionproviding a
  coherent and measured approach to governance
  change.

Strategy
Enabling environment
Management instruments
26
Not just another NRM Plan

• Differences between an INRM strategy and a
  traditional NRM plan
• Dynamic rather than staticlays down a framework
  for a continuing and adaptive process of
  strategic and coordinated action
• Involvement from multiple sectorsfor example,
  health, energy, finance, tourism, industry,
  agriculture, and environment.

27
Not just another NRM Plan

• Differences between an IWRM strategy and a
  traditional water plan
• Broader focus that looks at water in relation to
  other ingredients needed to achieve larger
  development goals or meet water challenges.
• More extensive stakeholder participation

28
Taking the first steps

• A strategy is an important first step, not an end
  in itself.

• INRM Progress Global and Pakistan?

30
Progress of INRM

• Some countries have made good progress towards
  meeting the target.
• But many more need including Pakistan to
  accelerate their efforts.

Good progress
Some progress
Just beginning Including Pakistan .
31
Why slow progress?
?

• Uncertainty over
• What INRM means and how it contributes to
  sustainable social and economic development
• What an INRM strategy is and its role in NRM
  reform
• How to go about developing a policy and strategy

Subsidy on Electric Tariff

• Subsidy for the current Year around Rs. 7.0
  billion
• Number of electric tubewells 14363 (2001-02)
• Estimated farms using electric tubewells 7000
• Total farms in Balochistan 2,43,000
• Percent farmers benefited from subsidy 3

36
Subsidy and Poverty Reduction

• Monthly electricity bill of electric tubewell
  Rs. 40,000
• Monthly cost of diesel for diesel tubewells Rs.
  28,000
• Why diesel tubewell farmer is surviving without
  subsidy?
• How he is performing in terms of water use and
  productivity?
• How he is maintaining profitability?
• Are we addressing these questions?
