1. Demonstration Projects
Work Package 5 –
Water and Climate Programme
28 August 2013, Regional Days
1

2. Demonstration Projects (DemPro) Overview
• This package will deliver innovative ‘green ‘solutions for
addressing critical water security challenges
• Primary target: local communities and partners,
beneficiaries of the proposed activities
• Secondary target: local governments, regional and
national stakeholders, river basin organisations (RBOs),
development banks, non-governmental organisations
(NGOs), development partners and other multipliers.

3. Overall Objective (DemPro)
• Stakeholders develop and implement innovative pro-
poor and gender sensitive ‘green ‘solutions for
addressing critical water security challenges such as
water, food, and energy, to enhance climate resilience of
countries and communities

4. Key Outputs and Activities (DemPro)
4
• Innovative green (i.e. sustainable) solutions in place that
address critical water security challenges that enhance
climate resilience of countries and communities
• Projects to be delivered under this component are aimed
at driving innovation – and they can range from soft
interventions to hard technical solutions that make a
real impact on livelihoods ensuring building local
adaptive capacity and improving climate resilience.

5. Some Guidance on Activities (DemPro)
5
• The projects should aim to address the water, food, and
energy nexus and provide solutions on the linkages between
these sectors
• Focus should be on dealing with climate hazards like droughts
or floods which have a huge impact on livelihoods
• The projects proposed should have potential to influence
national and transboundary basin policy
• If possible, involvement of private sector engagement through
public-private partnerships (PPPs) is important
• The projects should have a potential for up scaling and to be
replicated.
