Bangladesh: Southwest Areas Integrated Water Resources Management
The objective of the TA is to prepare an investment project to support the Government's efforts to promote integrated water resources management (IWRM) through integrated planning at sub-regional levels, implementation of priority schemes, and operation of IWRM and sustainable service delivery institutions in the Southwest area, including South West and South Central regions.
The TA will be implemented in two phases. Phase I will strengthen regional strategy and priorities building on the regional framework of the National Water Management Plan, and prepare elaborate IWRM plans in the selected sub-regions with intensive stakeholder consultation. Phase II will prepare a comprehensive investment package through design of institutional strengthening measures for improved IWRM and service delivery, and feasibility studies of the identified priority schemes (such as rehabilitation of flood control, drainage, irrigation schemes and pilot testing of arsenic mitigation interventions).
