The importance of establishing an enabling environment and a solid legal and institutional basis for community-based tank management is critical for the success of this project and for the sustainable development of tank systems across the state. The first subcomponent focuses on developing conducive policy, planning and legal environment while the second subcomponent focuses on providing effective project coordination and management. |

Sub-component 1: policy, planning and
legal environment: |
|
| |
GOK has put in place legislation and institutions to support community-based approaches to tank system development and management. The activities in this subcomponent are designed to further deepen these progressive reforms for all tank systems across the state.
The activities to be supported include:
(a) preparation of processed legislation (i.e. community-based integrated tank management act) which would address issues related to inter alia tank based rights (e.g. community-based integrated tank management act) which would address issues related to inter alia tank based rights (e.g. water, fisheries, silt); operation and maintenance responsibilities and water charges; role of PRIs and GoK; treatment of safeguard issues including resettlement and rehabilitation; and would provide amore solid legal basis for tank user groups;
(b) preparation of a long-term institutional strategy and development plan for the implementation of community-based and demand-driven tank management with a specific focus on the future role of JSYS vis-à-vis the water resources department(minor irrigation) for tanks above 40 ha command and on the role of PRIs for tanks under 40 ha command;
(c) the development of a decision support system for planning, operation and management of water resources on a sub-basin/watershed basis that can be applied in the context of tanks; and (d) preparation of a possible follow-on project. This subcomponent would finance technical assistance, studies, consultations and workshops, equipment, et. To undertake the above activities. |

Sub-component 2: project management |
|
| |
The activities under this
subcomponent would help ensure effective project
management through:
(a) A GIS-based information
system for the project area and for the state;
(b) A monitoring and learning system including
an independent M&L support agency to support JSYS throughout the duration of the project;
(c)
Two mid-term reviews (MTRs) in py02 studies on a
wide variety of important topics related to the
development of tank systems (e.g. study on
tank-based fisheries systems; study on linkages
between user groups and PRIs, etc.)
(e)
Fully
functional state and district offices including
investments in fixed assets (e.g. vehicles,
equipment, and furniture) and operating
expenditures (e.g. vehicle rentals, travel
expenses, electricity, printing, etc.); and
(f)
Incremental staff at the state and district
levels and small provisions for procuring
support from line departments, PRIs, and expert
resource groups. |
