This program aims to reduce the water demand-supply gap in select countries in East Asia, currently focusing on Mongolia and Vietnam, with a third country under scoping. The success of this program will be assessed against: (I) Instruments/Solutions: New instruments catalyzed through Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships (MSPs) and under implementation through third parties (II) Partnerships: MSPs operational with established governance (III) Knowledge Development: Development of robust & scientific info, incorporating hydro-economic cost-, benefit- and risk-based analysis, to guide the development of solutions Instruments/ solutions towards closing the water gap identified by the MSPs under point (I) above will include: (i) Demonstration projects to pilot innovative approaches; (ii) Large-scale programs to unlock investments in infrastructure and technology; (iii) Policy/ regulatory reforms covering incentives as well as institutional, governance and/ or tariff improvements; (iv) Optimization of public and private funding through appropriate financing mechanisms. Impacts will vary by country according to the specific solutions prioritized by the MSPs, but will always fall within the following four physical impact categories: (1) Reduced freshwater usage (cubic meters/ year); (2) Gross agricultural value add per m3 fresh water used ($) (to be normalized for commodity price changes); (3) Increased cost-effective water storage (cubic meters/ year); (4) Reduced discharge of untreated wastewater/ polluted water (cubic meters/year). To measure the impact on improved water resource management policies and governance, a water governance score is included as an additional key impact indicator. Although national governments serve as the ""entry"" client for 2030 WRG's engagement in any country, this program will convene private sector, in addition to government and civil society, as key actors for the development and implementation of solutions, and leverage the strengths of the private sector as a solution provider and innovator. NOTE: The mandate of 2030 WRG is to act as a catalyst, but for priority initiatives to be identified and implemented through the Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships. Hence the choice of which programs/instruments/solutions are developed is influenced by, but outside the direct control of, this program.
