Cooperation between IWRM and NWRA for accelerating capacity development to achieve good governance

The gtz-IWRM in close cooperation with NWRA management has launched a teamwork discussions about NWRA internal and external issues in a way that NWRA staff is comprehensively involved through thematic teams representing all NWRA tasks.
Four NWRA staff teams have been selected to deal with legal and institutional, technical, cooperation, administrative and financial issues that cover all relevant NWRA tasks. Each team organizes a separate weekly meeting while a joint meeting for all teams is organized on Wednesday of each week.

IWRM provides moderation assistance to NWRA staff- teams to enable free exchange of ideas, define issues and develop methodologies of discussions. Such approach encourages self-expression and self-initiatives of solutions to reflect actual needs of NWRA to improve its image and its future impacts.

The objectives of the teamwork discussions and workshop are preliminary to enhance a commonly shared ownership of NWRA staff with regard to NWRA mandate and responsibility through self assessment of strengths and weaknesses and current and visible opportunities and threats (SWOT) on a transparent and participatory manner that may lead to inside-out strengthening of NWRA capacities. This work will end with an internal workshop that defines challenges, hence abstracts possible strategic reorientation options that enable improvement of NWRA performance.
