The Tanzania Water Resources Assistance
Strategy (TWRAS) illustrates that food security, energy
security, environmental security, health security,
industrial security, and social and economic security all
hinge directly or indirectly on water security. The
cooperative management and development of rivers, lakes, and
aquifers shared with other nations also have significant
implications for national security. The TWRAS has guided the
preparation of the second generation of the Bank's
programmatic and sector wide investments, emphasizing
improved linkages between programmatic elements. It argues
for an integrated investment program supported by a more
empowered, better resourced, and accountable governance
regime. The strategy establishes that equitable and
sustainable management and development of water resources is
a fundamental prerequisite for achieving the outcomes of the
national strategy for growth and reduction of poverty, which
identifies the following intended poverty reduction
outcomes: growth and reduction of income poverty; improved
quality of life and social well-being; and good governance
and accountability.
