The cadres of the two main institutions will participate in a series of integrated water resource management (IWRM) and WASH type modules. The key focus of the modules is to improve evidence-based decision-making capacities in the water sector; institutions will develop ‘evidence-based’ outputs, with the aim to track the status of key IWRM and WASH factors, based on collecting data ranging from performance levels to river water flows & quality; associated monitoring stations and hardware will be procured. A ‘data management task force’ will be established across the sector entities engaged in data collection and, accordingly, a national water dashboard will be developed to share (on a ‘need to know’ basis) and track water sector developments."}, {"bbox": [85, 700, 1133, 814], "category": "Text", "text": "A primary lesson-learned in the water sector is incorporated in the intervention logic: secure matching contributions from the partner country on an annual basis during the entire EU investment to confirm common aims, direction, and future sustainability.
