Basic Project Data

		Official Project Title:	1528 - Formulation of an Action Programme for the Integrated Management of the Shared Nubian Aquifer

		New Project Title:



		Project Summary:	Project Summary (as in PIMS and Project Document) The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System (NSAS) is one of the largest aquifers in the world covering approximately 2,000,000 km² of Northeast Africa in Chad, Egypt, Libya, and Sudan. With growing populations and decreasing water availability from other sources, there is increasing pressure to enhance the abstraction of this tremendously valuable resource that, under current climatic conditions and based on current knowledge, appears to be only marginally rechargeable. This increased pressure to use the shared groundwater resources, despite unclear knowledge of the transboundary impacts, represents a potential threat to a precious resource that if not properly assessed and monitored, could lead to deterioration of water quality and/or irrational water use with the potential to harm biodiversity and enhance land degradation. It is expected that the project will lead to a clear understanding of transboundary issues, problems and potential solutions, a process for and significant progress in achieving a jointly developed and agreed strategic approach and action programme to address real and potential problems, as well as a framework for developing an appropriate legal mechanism.

SADA Stakeholders Analysis Report competed. Causal Chain Analysis Report completed. Draft Governance Report completed. Planning and preparation for modeling is on- going	The understanding of transboundary issues in the NSAS was re-defined throuh an inclusive and transparent process for groundwater modeling that was completed in the reportin g period. The results - agreed to by country representatives - indicate minimum transboundary concerns under senarios of existing and future groundwater use. Based upon these results, national and regional SADA reports are being prepared and will be completed in the next reporting period.
		2. Agreed regional SAP to tackle the issues raised in the SADA	No SAP due to lack of SADA	SAP prepared and agreed on.	No activities planned in this reporting period	No activities planned in this reporting period.
		3. Legal and institutional framework document	“Joint Authority for the Study and Development of the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer Waters” has been set up (in 1992).	An institutional mechanism ready for operations, to be identified during the next PSC meeting and after revision by the PSC of the SADA/SAP	Discussions with the PSC and JA have been initiated at the PSC Meeting in Dec 2007. The Libyan delegation strongly comments on the title and the approach of component three of the project. The PSC agreed to hold more discussions on that component through their next JA meeting (March 2008) and inform the Project Management by the meeting outcomes related to the component three of the project. The Board of the Nubian Joint Authority agreed during their last meeting last March on: (1) changing the title of the component three by replacement of the word “Establishment” by “Enhancement” (2) The outcome of this component will be a draft document of an enhanced framework for the established of four- partite arrangement in the frame (3) No changes in the component approach The project management did not receive any official reply from the chairman of the JA as agreed in the last PSC.	No official reply from the Chairman of the JA in this reportin gperiod. A regional meeting scheduled for April 2009 was cancelled due to the unavailability of some participants/consultants. National reports on legal/institutional issues and frameworks have been drafted in Chad and udan with the halp of national consultants. Contracting underway for national legal experts in Egypt and Libya. Planning is underway for regional legal workshop in late-2009. Libya has indicated that they will host the meeting, but an official reply has not been received.
Outcome 1:	Shared Aquifer Diagnostic Analysis and Capacity And Data gaps addressed	4. Continued effort by national institutions to fill in capacity and data gaps	No SADA for the Nubian, capacity and data gaps inadequately mapped	• Data gaps identified and addressed (No shared monitoring activities between the four countries were recognized, No regular isotopes sampling campaigns. • Capacity in groundwater issues enhanced specially in Chad where the Scarcity of qualified staff is prevailing.	• Countries have begun to work together through the joint activities executed so far (meetings and training courses). • New sampling campaigns undertaken in Libya and Sudan. • Fellowships provided for Chad participants. • Preparation for isotopes hydrology training course is going to be held in Egypt next October. • Preparation for Groundwater Modeling is going to be in Vienna next November	Data gaps have been identified and addressed to the extent possible in previous sampling campaigns and training. Gaps related to aquifer data and characteristics were partially addressed in the modeling work and the related database was made up to date with infomrmation provided by the countries. Regional capacity for the use of the aquifer model was increased by the full-time participation of a professional from Egypt and by the frequent participation of project coordinators in building the model. However, a formal gap analysis was not intended for the project.
		5. Incorporation of the findings from SADA for developing the SAP.	No SADA. Groundwater studies done in part of the region but not consolidated into a single project before	Findings from SADA incorporated in SAP	Data is under the process of compilation for each country.	Achievement in this period has been successful completion of four-country cooperative effort in regional groundwater modeling. Outlines of the nature of SAP resulting from the SADA were discussed and will focus heavily on joint monitoring and data sharing. Since this process was completed in August 2009, incorporation into SAP will occur in the next reporting period.
		6. The SADA/SAP training planned and prepared. Training course conducted. 7. Establishment of National SADA teams 8. Stakeholder analysis conducted. 9. National SADA reports prepared, reviewed and finalized with relevant stakeholders. 10. Regional SADA report drafted, reviewed in consultations with countries and finalized.

Data gaps in relation to priority needs (NASA management, flow model, spatial sub-basin and aquifer coverage) identified. 17. NARIS data base adjusted and new data entered. 18. Actions for SAP to adders’ data gaps prepared. 19. Other data gaps filled, compiled. 20. New data integrated with the NASA model	Data is not in one single database, nor consistent in content and measurement units	Complete, comprehensive and reliable database compiled and integrated into the NSAS Model.	Compilation of data has begun, as well as identification of gaps. An in-depth analysis of isotopic data and data work-out for Egypt has been completed and a similar analysis for Libya and Sudan data is initiated. Preparation for activation and update of NARIS has been started. The Chadian partner has no data to be analyzed. According to the un-stability of the security conditions in the Nubian Region (East Chad), no sampling campaigns were conducted.	NARIS database has been the definitive data source for the regional NSAS model. Extensive discussions were pursued with the countries on the need and scope of work to re-operationalize NARIS. The cost estimates for this werk were prohibitive within the project funding. An updated aquifer database was prepared as a part of the modeling work and will be made available to the countries in this project. An updated and integrated isotope database has been prepared and is available.
		21. Sampling and data analysis plan prepared 22. Routine sampling completed 23. Estimation of fraction of groundwater 24. Delineation of the recharge/discharge zones	Sampling done in the countries before, but data has not been properly shared and made use of in a cooperative manner.	Sampling campaigns executed, samples analyzed and results integrated in the corresponding database.	First Sampling campaigns have been completed in Libya and Sudan. Further sampling has been carried out in Libya and Sudan; laboratory analysis is under way for various samples. It is planned to conduct the sampling campaign in Egypt next October. Just the security conditions are getting better, the sampling campaign will take place in Eastern Chad	No additional sampling has been conducted during this period. Isotope dating campaign in Libya is planned for next reporting period. Results of the work conducted in the last reportin gperiod formd a basis for calibrating the groundwater model. As an additional calibration tool, a new sampling campaign for isotope age dating is tentatively planned for Libya in next reporting period.
		25. Training courses, fellowships etc in isotope hydrology, groundwater assessment and management	Countries have limited and varied capabilities and capacities in groundwater management.

Rating of Project Progress towards Meeting Objective


		Overall 2008 Rating (from 08 PIR)	2009 Rating	Comments[6]
	National Project Manager/Coordinator:	MU	S – Satisfactory	In this reporting period, the most important element of progress was the development of a groundwater model to analyze transboundary issues and an acceptance of model results by the countries. The modeling effort was conducted with the fullest transparency needed for acceptance by all four countries. Usina and international consultant and a national consultant (from Egypt), the model was developed and three meetings of country representatives were held over a 4 month period. This process led to a successful final meeting of all four countries in August 2009 where the model results and their implications for SADA and SAP were accepted - in principle - by all countries. The National and Regional SADAs can now be completed using these results. The countries agreed to conduct National SADA meetings where the modeling results will be disseminated in detail in order to build greater awareness and to build consensus for accepting the results. The findings of the model redefine the understanding of transboundary issues and will shape the approach to strategic action planning. Significant progress was made toward completion of the national and regional SADA reports (Component 1) and on drafting the legal/institutional report (Component 3). With regard to Component 3, in spite of setbacks in scheduling legal meetings due to delays associated both with member countries and the legal consultant, two draft national legal reports have been prepared and will be reviewed prior to the planned regional legal meeting in late-2009. Excellent progress has been made in meeting objectives in recent months, although at a more protracted timeframe than originally planned.
	Government GEF OFP[7] (optional):	MU
	Executing Agency (optional):	MU	S – Satisfactory	In this reporting period significant progress was made towards streamling management processes ensuring smooth and easy communication links with the Member States and counterparts.

Rating of Project Progress towards Meeting Objective


		Rating of Project Implementation	2009 Rating	Comments[6]
	National Project Manager/Coordinator:	MU	S – Satisfactory	In this reporting period, significant progress was made in advancing several project elements. National meetings with IAEA participation were held for all four countries and key components of the national and regional SADA reports were developed by consensus among the four countries. Momentum in implementation was interrupted in early 2009 with the resignation of the project manager on short notice. As of the end of this reporting period, the national coordinators reached a consensus that the new NSAS model provides a representation of regional conditions in the aquifer; and that the model, linked with monitoring and information sharing, provides a robust framework for SADA and SAP and future regional cooperation.Challenges continue to exist, but most of the objectives have so far been met satisfactorily.
	Government GEF OFP[7] (optional):	MU
	Executing Agency (optional):	MU
	UNDP Country Office:	MU	MS – Marginally Satisfactory	The disbursements for 2009 will not meet its planned targets for the year that will lead to a low delivery rate for this year. More attention needs to be given to timely submission of budget revisions.

Please summarize in 200 words the progress made this reporting period. This may be used for publication purposes.

	The most important element of progress in this project has been the development of a groundwater model to analyze potential transboundary issues. Through an inclusive and transparent process, a regional groundwater model was constructed that all countries agree accurately represents aquifer conditions. The calibrated model yielded several key findings for SADA and SAP: • Natural groundwater flow in the Nubian Aquifer is mostly contained within each country and very minor areas where flow lines cross national boundaries. • The aquifer is finite, but can yield a massive quantity of high quality, fresh water for many generations in all countries. • Under future development scenarios for the next 100 years, groundwater pumping is likely to have only local/national effects with limited transboundary concerns. Groundwater use may have significant impacts on local ecosystems, land management, and other environmental concerns. These findings redefine the understanding of transboundary issues and will shape the approach to strategic action planning. It is now recognized that responding to immediate issues of water ownership and cross-border contamination may be less important than minimizing local environmental impacts and building cooperative frameworks for monitoring and modeling aquifer conditions at national and regional levels to prevent transboundary problems in the long term.

Good Practice in this reporting period
Were any problems encountered? If so, how were they addressed?

	Problem	Solution
	PROGRAM MANAGEMENT and OVERSIGHT: Project Officer resignations provides, gaps in project leadership, delays in the hiring of a new project officer.	ERIC JONATHAN COLE an IAEA STAFF, is assigned to provide overall managerial project oversight pending hiring of a new project officer. Hiring of a project officer being considered and probably finalised within the coming month.
	TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP: SADA; SAP; LEGAL COMPONENTS: The project has lacked leadership for the development of national SADA's eversince the resignation of the project officer. However, these delays are now being curtailed, as experienced IAEA staff assume responsibility for the management of specific components of the project outcomes. One impact of this has been delays coordination of national activities and a primary recruitment of national SADA experts.	Mr PRADEEP AGGRAWAL Section Head of the Isotope Division, provides technical leadership in guaranteeing and maintaing the technical integrity of the project outcomes as spelt out in the three primary project components and intended outputs (SADA, SAP, Enhanced Legal Frameworks). PAUL GREMILLION: is a consultant at the IAEA Isotope Hydrology Section, he will be a central point of contact for national coordinators and technical staff in completing the SADA/SAP process.
	LEGAL COMPONENT: Delays in progress of legal component due to postponement of meetings.	KLEITSAS, Spyridon a staff of the IAEA Isotope division, has a central role to backstop all legal work connected to the project and support the management of technical components of the project. .IAEA is working closely with national coordinators to maintain schedules for legal component activities and is in process of recruiting an international consultant to conduct reviews of national legal reports, draft a regional legal framework, and assist in conducting the regional legal workshop.
