Problem solved through this practice | Low level of coordination among WUAs – as a rule, each WUA liaises independently with its water management organization (WMO). |

Description of the practice and its results | The AAMC-WUU is an association of legal entities in the form of Union – a voluntary independent non-profit public organization uniting legal entities (i.e. WUAs) based on common interests with the aim of coordinating actions and protecting shared interests and rights. AAMC-WUU operates as per the Charter approved at the general meeting of water user representatives, has its own stamp and bank account. Actions: The creation of AAMC-WUU began with the establishment of the Initiative Group (IG). The IG consisted of active water specialists, representatives of water users and other stakeholders who saw the need to transit to IWRM. Further on, the IG carried out social mobilization, drafted necessary documents (the Union’s Charter, etc.), organized the general meeting of water users that approved the Charter and established the Union’s Council (Board). After that, AAMC-WUU underwent legal registration and officially launched its work. Results:

Мероприятия: Участникам было предложено пройти 2 этапа Олимпиады – письменный и устный. Победители письменного тестирования прошли на участие в устном этапе. Результаты: В результате отбора кандидатов для участия в Региональной Олимпиаде ИУВР и Международной Летней Школе «Методы и средства оценки, моделирования и мониторинг водных и земельных ресурсов Центральной Азии», которая состоится в г.Алматы, выбран наилучший студент. |
Lessons learnt and recommendations made | Lessons learnt: The effectiveness of AAMC-WUU depends on internal and external conditions: capacities (financial, institutional, etc.) of its members (i.e. WUAs) and the level of democracy and market development in a given country. In turn, the growth of capacities of AAMC-WUU members depends on AAMC-WUU performance. Recommendation: Currently, WUAs capacities are rather poor which is reflected in AAMC-WUA own underperformance. Considering that WUA represent the weakest link in water hierarchy and the role of water users in addressing national food, water and environmental security needs, the government should find opportunities to support (first of all, financially) WUAs/AAMC-WUU during transition period (until they become self-sufficient). |
Формально такая соревновательная практика является обычным явлением и при отборе исполнителей в международные и национальные проекты, но фактически добиться объективности удается не всегда. Нередко для участия в проектах берут или по знакомству или по указанию из вышестоящих инстанций. |
