Brief description of ToR
The Ecological Infrastructure for Water Security Project (EI4WS) is executed by the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI), in partnership with the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) and with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF). This five-year project, focuses on improving water security by integrating biodiversity and ecosystem services into planning, finance and development in the water sector. The Water Research Commission (WRC) is responsible for implementation of a component of EI4WS aimed at improving the integration of biodiversity and ecosystem services into the water value chain through social learning, credible evidence and knowledge management. The approach taken in component 3 is guided by a Social Learning and Knowledge Management (SLKM) strategy that was developed with stakeholders and partners. The work envisaged in these terms of reference will respond to the recommendations of the strategy and partner with existing initiatives highlighted as important.
