Implementation of the Water Framework Directive - Policy Coherence, Managing Trade-Offs, Financing and Capacity
The objective of this research is to support the Forum to develop policy advice on the implementation of the 3rd cycle RBMP and development of the 4th plan. Learnings from the research are expected to inform Forum members about the existing obstacles in implementing the WFD in Ireland and to make recommendations about what can be strengthened going into the 4th cycle. In 2021, the Institute of Public Administration (IPA) assessed water governance in Ireland using the OECD Water Governance Indicator Framework to support the development of the third-cycle RBMP for Ireland 2022–2027. The primary objective of the Water Governance Indicator Framework (OECD, 2018) is to stimulate a transparent, neutral, open, inclusive and forward-looking dialogue across stakeholders on what does and does not work, what should be improved and who can do what. The IPA evaluated how Ireland was doing in relation to the 12 OCED principles of water governance, categorised each principle as “strong progress”, “good progress” or “limited progress”. In preparation for the development of the 4th cycle RBMP, the Water Forum is commissioning research to re-evaluate water governance around four OCED principles: 1. Policy coherence 2. Managing trade offs 3. Financing 4. Capacity Research Questions The Research should include an evaluation of how Ireland is doing in relation to the 4 OECD Principles below, identifying any relevant obstacles to implementation of the WFD in Ireland. Drawing on international case studies, the research should then present policy recommendations on how they could be strengthened going into the 4th cycle. 1. Policy Coherence • Review and evaluate policy coherence and cross-sectoral coordination which influence the implementation of the WFD, especially between policies for water and the environment, health, energy, agriculture, industry, spatial planning and land use. • Identify and evaluate the co-ordination mechanisms to facilitate coherent policies across ministries, public agencies and levels of government, including cross sectoral plans. • Identify and evaluate the barriers to policy coherence from practices, policies and regulations within and beyond the water sector. Develop policy recommendations on how to strengthen policy coherence and cross sectoral coordination to support the implementation of the WFD in Ireland. 2. Managing Trade-offs • Review and evaluate how trade-offs are managed across water users, rural and urban areas and generations. • Review and evaluate how trade-offs are identified and communicated, and if efforts are made to minimise potential negative impacts on water. Develop policy recommendations on how to improve the management of trade-offs to support the implementation of the WFD in Ireland. 3. Financing the WFD • Provide an overview on how the implementation of the WFD is financed in Ireland and evaluate if financial resources are allocated / used in an efficient, transparent and timely manner. • Identify financial / resourcing challenges which are impeding the implementation of the WFD in Ireland. Drawing from international best practice or funding models to finance the WFD, develop policy recommendations on how to improve the financing of the WFD for strengthened implementation of the 4th RBMP. 4. Capacity • Provide an overview of the level of capacity both required and available to meet the complexity of meeting WFD objectives. • Identify capacity gaps which are impeding the implementation of the WFD in Ireland (e.g. policy, planning, project management, funding, scientists, advisory, monitoring, data, administration). Develop recommendations on how to improve capacity to strengthen the implementation of the WFD in Ireland.

7000001904 - Consultancy to implement output 2: The access of refugees and host communities to sustainable energy services has improved (Energy Component)
Services under Output 2 aim to increase electricity access, promote modern cooking solutions, facilitate productive-use of energy (PUE) applications, strengthen private-sector participation, and enhance local technical and institutional capacities. A significant share of the implementation activities will be concentrated in Dadaab. All interventions will be coordinated with DRS, county governments in Garissa and Turkana, relevant energy agencies, local authorities, private enterprises, and development partners. A critical input will be a comprehensive market needs assessment, conducted by a separate contractor prior to Output 2 activities. This assessment will form the evidence base for all interventions, providing detailed understanding of household and enterprise energy demand, supply chain capacities, consumer preferences, affordability, and barriers to private-sector engagement. It will include surveys, focus groups, and key informant interviews across refugee and host communities in Dadaab, Kakuma, and Kalobeyei. The assessment will map electricity, improved cookstoves, alternative fuels, and PUE supply chains, identifying strengths, bottlenecks, and gaps. Affordability, willingness to pay, and regulatory frameworks will be analyzed. Gender and inclusion factors, including barriers faced by women and persons with disabilities, as well as cultural and household dynamics, will inform the design, targeting, and sequencing of all Output 2 interventions. Building on this evidence, Output 2 will support a Results-Based Reimbursement (RBR) mechanism to incentivize private-sector investment, linking payments to results such as household and enterprise connections, cookstove deployment, and PUE installations. The mechanism will involve stakeholder consultations, eligibility criteria emphasizing women- and youth-led enterprises, competitive selection, capacity-building, monitoring, verification, phased disbursement, and risk management strategies. Linkages to commercial financiers will promote long-term sustainability. Services also include enterprise development and technical support for businesses engaged in electricity provision, cookstove production, alternative fuel distribution, and PUE technologies. Support covers installation, operation, and maintenance of solar systems and mini-grids; technical guidance for cookstove production, efficiency testing, and quality assurance; alternative fuel production; and adoption of PUE technologies. Business advisory services include market analysis, supply chain optimization, financial management, strategic planning, formalization support, and access to financing. Result-based and technical support will be provided to scalable energy solutions, including the design, implementation and operation of a pilot 50 kW solar-hybrid mini-grid in Dadaab, solar-powered water pumps, cold storage units, and institutional cooking systems. PUE interventions will support livelihoods through solar-powered milling, refrigeration, welding, irrigation, and ICT services. Clean cooking and alternative fuel services will expand access via local production, distribution networks, and behavior change campaigns, prioritizing women"s participation and reducing exposure to indoor air pollution. Coordination with national and county authorities, DRS, energy agencies, development partners, and private-sector actors will ensure alignment with policy frameworks and complementarity with existing programs. Lessons learned from regional initiatives such as ProSEET, EnDev, WIDU.africa, and EMPOWER will be incorporated. A robust Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) system will track household and enterprise energy access, adoption of clean cooking technologies, use of PUE equipment, and participation of women, youth, and persons with disabilities. Community feedback mechanisms, baseline, midline, and endline evaluations, and adaptive management processes will ensure accountability, evidence-based adjustments, and continuous learning. By 2028, Output 2 is expected to expand energy access to approximately 90,113 refugees and 60,076 host community members, including at least 75,095 women. Enterprises in sustainable energy supply chains are projected to grow from 139 to 151 in Kakuma and 22 to 32 in Dadaab, with at least 30% women-led or owned. Adoption of PUE technologies, improved cooking solutions, and alternative fuels will contribute to income generation, employment creation, and environmental protection. Sustainability is central to Output 2, combining evidence-based market interventions, technical support, infrastructure development, PUE promotion, clean cooking, gender inclusion, and rigorous MEAL processes to ensure long-term, self-sustaining energy markets. The services deliver a neutral, evidence-based, and coordinated set of interventions to transform energy access in Kenya"s refugee-hosting regions. By providing affordable, reliable, and inclusive energy solutions, supporting enterprise development, enabling productive-use applications, promoting clean cooking, and ensuring continuous learning and monitoring, the project will enhance livelihoods, strengthen environmental resilience, foster social inclusion, and support the implementation of the Government of Kenya"s Shirika Plan.
