Nile Basin Initiative International Individual Consultant Jobs in Kenya

Introduction

The Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) is a partnership of the 10 Nile Basin riparian states with a shared vision objective to promote sustainable socio-economic development through the equitable utilization of and benefit from the shared Nile Basin water resources. NBI has three programs, namely, the Basin-Wide Program implemented by the NBI Secretariat located in Entebbe, Uganda, the Eastern Nile Subsidiary Action Program (ENSAP) implemented by the Eastern Nile Technical Regional Office (ENTRO) located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and the Nile Equatorial Lakes Subsidiary Action Program (NELSAP) implemented by NELSAP Coordination Unit located in Kigali, Rwanda.

Background

The NBI Secretariat (Nile-Sec) launched its strategic water resources analysis in 2015 and completed the first phase in 2016. The strategic water resources analysis is aimed at developing options of measures (water resources infrastructure and management options) for meeting the growing water demand in the Nile Basin sustainably reducing the stress on the river system and minimizing water allocation related tensions among the riparian countries.

Objective

The overall objective of the Assignment is to contribute towards generation of strategic options for meeting the growing water demands in the Nile Basin more efficiently and sustainably.

The specific objectives of the assignment are:

To develop refined baseline water demand and actual M and I water use for 2016

To develop projection of water demands and water use estimates for Municipal and Industrial uses for the Nile Basin in the 2050 time horizon

Develop viable scope for water saving from the municipal and industrial water use sectors through employment of various measures, such as demand side management, adoption of water efficient technologies and reduction of losses.

Approach

The projection of population and water demand shall be based on credible data and methodology commensurate with the intended use of the projections. The following are key elements of the approach that the Consultant is required to follow in developing the projections:

The projection methodology must be valid and widely acceptable, both by users of the results and demographic forecasting practitioners.

The projection approach must be transparent and understandable to the extent possible.

The projections must be replicate.

In keeping with state-of-the-art

practice employed internationally and by NBI countries, the projections must be economically based and then linked to demographic factors in an integrated manner.

Scope of Work

Collect and review available population and economic projection literature, data and methodology prepared by NBI countries (including national census), RECs, UN agencies, the private sector in the Nile Basin countries, the World Bank and other relevant national, sub-regional and regional entities;

Systematically compile and process collected data on key water uses/users for preparing the projections. Where data obtained from national sources are not sufficient, use appropriate methodology to fill in the data gaps, including use of data from credible regional and international sources;

Avail the systematically compiled data on key water uses to the client. The client intends to use its staff resources to prepare a database of key water uses/users in the Nile Basin for future studies and regular updating. The consultant shall supervise the preparation of database of key water uses/users;

Develop methodology for population and water demand projections based on review of available methodologies and the consultant’s own expert judgment; the methodology will be discussed with the client and, as needed, with a group of stakeholders from NBI countries;

Prepare refined estimates of baseline water demand and actual water use for 2016; this refined estimate shall be based on the estimates made by Nile-Sec for 2014 but further enhanced through new data collected under the Assignment.

Develop population projections for the Nile Basin countries with specific focus on the parts of the countries within the Nile Basin;
