I. INTRODUCTION

1. This annual work program presents the program of priorities and activities for the Water Financing Partnership Facility (WFPF or "Facility"), as administered by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) on behalf of its financing partners contributing to the Facility, covering the period January to December 2016. Activities are to be financed from the balance of contributions to the Facility’s three trust funds: (i) the Multi-Donor Trust Fund, with contributions from the governments of Australia, Austria, Norway, Spain, and Switzerland; (ii) the Netherlands Trust Fund; and (iii) the Sanitation Financing Partnership Trust Fund. 2. The operation of WFPF in 2016 will continue to be guided by the Water Operational Plan 2011-2020, and the Facility’s Design and Monitoring Framework (DMF) as revised following the 2015 external evaluation.

II. 2016 PROJECTED DEMAND FOR RESOURCES

A. Direct Project Support 3. About 70% of the Facility’s resources is intended for direct project support to allow WFPF to support the development of investment projects as well as implementation of on-going ones. There are two ways by which direct project support is provided:

Support to investment projects through grant component of loans and technical assistance (TA) attached to loans.

Support to project preparation and implementation through cofinancing of project preparation technical assistance (PPTAs) or financing of other project development and implementation activities through the direct charge modality.

4. The Water Financing Program is well on track towards meeting the investment targets for Phase 2 (2011-2020) at $2.0-$2.5 billion annually or a total of $20-$25 billion by 2020, building on the achievement under Phase 1 (2006-2010). Table 1 presents the summary of approved investments for the period 2011-2015.

7. The approval ratio in 2015 went down to 57% from 68% in 2014. Assuming an approval ratio of 60% in 2016, the projected approvals for the year would be around $2.341 billion, thus meeting the $2.0 billion annual target. 8. The 2016 programmed investments provide an indication of the likely demand for grant component of loans and TA attached to loans. In terms of grant component of loans, the Facility will continue to take a cautious approach because of slow implementation associated with this modality. However, support to TAs attached to loans can continue to be considered. Already as of this writing, an application for TA attached to one of the loans included in the 2016 programmed investments is under evaluation for the 31 January 2016 submission deadline. The proposed TA addresses management and reuse of sludge in Mongolia1 and is targeted for Board approval in April 2016. Support to Project Preparation 9. A total of $ 13.595 million in PPTAs is programmed for 2016 which is a significant drop from $18.0 million in 2015. The breakdown is summarized by sub-sector and by region in Tables 4 and 5 below and the list of projects is provided in Appendix 2.

10. The programmed PPTAs provide an indication of likely demand for additional funding to top-up PPTA budget and direct charges to support other project preparation activities. Included in the applications for the 31 January 2016 submission deadline currently being processed is a request for topping up the PPTA budget for a $300 million multitranche financing for an urban development project in Bangladesh to address sanitation, sewerage, drainage and flood management. Program Quality Support Window 11. About 30% of the Facility’s resources are intended for program quality support. WFPF will continue to support reforms and capacity development through policy advisory TAs (PATA), and capacity development TAs (CDTA). Tables 6 and 7 below summarize the 2016 programmed PATAs and CDTAs by sub-sector and by region and detailed in Appendix 3.

12. The programmed PATAs and CDTAs provide an indication of likely demand for additional resources from the Facility to continue supporting policy reforms and capacity development. The applications for 31 January 2016 submission deadline include a request to top-up an on-going CDTA on water supply and sanitation strategy in Uzbekistan which seeks to improve delivery of rural water supply and sanitation services. Demand for Funding from User Departments 13. As in previous years, the user departments provided the Facility Secretariat with their expected demand for WFPF resources in 2016 guided by the knowledge that available resources are extremely limited. Table 8 below summarizes the expected demand and Appendix 4 provides the details.

14. This year’s level of expected demand is only about 60% of the 2015 level which reflects the user departments recognition of the need to scale down the resources they expect to obtain from WFPF considering the limited balance left. 15. The detailed information on expected demand provided in Appendix 4 includes the proposed source of fund to allow a quick assessment of demand versus available resources from each of the trust funds. The result is summarized in Table 9 below.

17. The $2.139 million available under the Netherlands Trust Fund are earmarked for specific countries2, while the $5.832 million under the Sanitation Financing Partnership Trust Fund are only intended for supporting non-sewered sanitation and septage management. For all other proposals not eligible under those two trust funds, only the $0.820 million balance under the multidonor trust fund may be accessed.

IV. PROJECT SELECTION AND PRIORITIZATION

18. The target allocation ratio of about 70% for project support and about 30% for program quality will continue to serve as the overarching guide in allocating resources in 2016 although it has been made clear to user departments that direct project support will be given priority to allow the Facility to continue to help sustain, and further increase where possible, the investment level, as well as support project implementation to help improve portfolio performance and accelerate delivery of results on the ground. The Facility has been able to stay well within this target ratio with cumulative allocations to date translating to a ratio of 73%-27%.

2 Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Viet Nam

19. The selection and prioritization of projects will also continue to be guided by the Facility’s newly revised DMF, along with geographic and thematic priorities of financing partners, and the specific priority thrusts set out in the Water Operational Plan 2011-2020.

20. Furthermore, the Facility will have to continue playing a key role in disseminating key messages and sharing good practices to keep water high on the development and political agenda of DMCs. The Asian Water Development Outlook which has been supported by the Facility has helped raise awareness on the urgency of addressing the region’s water security.

V. 2016 ACTIVITIES

21. Completion of the Midterm Review of ADB’s Water Operational Plan 2011-2020. The report on the midterm review of the Water Operational Plan was targeted to be completed in December 2015. However, in view of the emerging findings from the on-going Asia Water Futures and Solutions and Asian Water Development Outlook 3rd edition which have implications on the Water Operational Plan implementation, it was decided that the completion of the report be deferred until the first half of 2016 when the findings and recommendations from the two analytical work are already firmed up. 22. ADB-Financing Partners 9th Annual Consultation Meeting. The 9th Annual Consultation Meeting between ADB and financing partners is scheduled at the ADB Headquarters on 15-16 March 2016.

23. 2nd Asian Irrigation Forum 2015. The 2nd Asian Irrigation Forum was postponed from November 2015 to January 2016. As of this writing, the Forum has already been concluded. The number of participants reached a total of 232. WFPF financing partners - Australia and the Netherlands - participated and played an active role. Australia, through the Australian Water Partnership was one of ADB’s convening partners, along with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the International Water Management Institute (IWMI). 24. Preparation of Asian Water Development Outlook 3rd Edition. The preparation is proceeding on schedule. The launch is scheduled in August at the Stockholm World Water Week as part of the ADB-led Eye on Asia Day. 25. Asia Water Futures and Solutions. The completion of this study which is being undertaken together with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) is being pushed back slightly in view of the need to harmonize the key messages with those of the Asian Water Development Outlook. Both reports recognize that clear and well targeted messaging would be key to securing high level support to addressing water security in the region.

26. Water accounting in pilot basins. Water accounting provides comprehensive information on the quantum and users of water resources. These are based on a coherent and consistent methodology that quantifies hydrological processes, water storage, base flow, distribution of water to various competing sectors, the consumption of water and the benefits and services - that result from consumption and the return flow of non-consumed water. 27. ADB will adopt the Water Accounting Plus (WA+) framework developed by UNESCO-IHE, IWMI and FAO. This provides information on water storage and flows for a variety of land use systems. The framework focuses on the use of publicly accessible remote sensing data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and European Space Agency. These include data for precipitation, water surface areas, land use etc.

28. Initial work has already begun in one pilot basin (the Tu Bon river basin) in Viet Nam in 2015. A similar undertaking is planned to commence in early 2016 in one river basin in Madhya Pradesh in India. The water accounting in Viet Nam will be a supplementary to the draft country water assessment. It will provide a detailed understanding of the overall water resources status, and how much is being used (and returned to the basin) by various users like industry and agriculture. As of this writing, discussions are underway to also include Cambodia in this undertaking. 29. Water productivity measurement and training. Water productivity is generally defined as crop yield per cubic meter of water consumption or more popularly expressed as “more crop per drop”. ADB projects on agricultural water management should lead to increased production. While most ADB financed projects target improved agriculture productivity (how many kilograms of crop produced per hectare), we have little understanding of the volume of water used to produce the crop. This is where water productivity (how many kilograms of crop produced per cubic metre of water) provides a much better measure of improved water use, or how much "crop per drop". It is therefore critical to know the status of water productivity at the start and at the end of each project. There is a large gap in the understanding of the concept of water productivity at various levels, and how to measure and implement it. 30. Water productivity measurement will commence in early 2016 on specific irrigation schemes in India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Uzbekistan and Viet Nam. The assessment forms part of a capacity building program aimed at enhancing the capacity of ADB staff and developing member countries (DMCs) on the concepts of crop water productivity. DMCs will also be trained on the use of remote sensing technologies to compute crop water productivity on a field-to-field basis, followed by a diagnosis of good and poor performing fields, as well as the determination of target values. A water productivity diagnosis of selected irrigation projects in these countries will be provided. This undertaking is expected to be completed by 2017.

31. Resource Mobilization. A more aggressive resource mobilization has been under

discussion within the Secretariat. Scarcity of cash is acknowledged. The 2015 Annual Report

makes mention of ADB’s recent Memorandum of Understanding with the newly established

Australian Water Partnership (AWP). This collaboration will allow ADB to gain access to about

AUD 1.0 million annually that AWP will mobilize to support an agreed set of activities. This

provides an example of how additional resources may be mobilized if replenishment of cash

contributions is far from being realized either from existing or new financing partners. Moreover,

the Secretariat is working closely with the Office of Cofinancing (OCO) in its outreach to private

foundations using as example the success of WFPF in securing contributions from the Gates

Foundation. Roadshow presentations are currently planned between the second and third

quarter of 2016 and participation by Gates Foundation in some of the presentations is being

worked out by the Secretariat.

32. Knowledge Sharing Events. Organization of and participation in several international

events will form part of ADB’s major activities in 2016. The year started with the 2nd Asian

Irrigation Forum in January. Other major events planned for the year include: (i) Asia Water

Council (March), (ii) Asia-Netherlands Water Learning Week (June), (iii) Singapore International

Water Week (July), (iv) Stockholm World Water Week (August), (v) International River

Symposium (September), (vi) World Water Congress (October), (vii) World Irrigation Forum

(November), and (viii) ADB-Australia Water Learning Week (November). The Stockholm World

Water Week which features the ADB-led Eye on Asia Day will include the launch of the Asian

Water Development Outlook 3rd edition.
