Asia Director , International Water Management Institute
IWMI
Director Asia
Location: New Delhi, India (Negotiable) Closing date: Remains open until filled Starting date: As soon as possible
Remuneration: A competitive package will be offered Reference: IWMI-Asia
http://missiontalent.com/en/positions/asia-director/ http://mis.tl/ZGSYTh
About the International Water Management Institute (IWMI)
The International Water Management Institute (IWMI) is a non-profit research organization dedicated to improving the management of land and water resources for food, livelihoods and the environment. IWMI is a member of CGIAR, a global research partnership for a food secure future. IWMI targets the land and water management challenges faced by poor communities in developing countries, and contributes towards the achievement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of reducing poverty and hunger, and maintaining a sustainable environment. In 2012, IWMI was awarded the Stockholm Water Prize, the world’s most prestigious award for outstanding achievements in water-related activities.
During the quarter-century of its existence, IWMI has helped governments, water user associations, farmer communities and private sector organizations to manage the impact of water use on livelihoods, food security, health, the environment and gender. IWMI has looked at ways to create positive incentives for farmers and policymakers to manage water more equitably and efficiently.
IWMI’s Asia region is organized into three subregions. These are Central Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia. The location of the regional office for Asia is preferably New Delhi,
but other locations may be considered. Research activities in Asia focus on reducing poverty and improving food security through the efficient management of land and water resources. Some of the critical issues faced by Asian countries are poverty, water scarcity, droughts, floods, land degradation, low productivity, inequitable distribution of water, water pollution and groundwater overdraft.
IWMI’s research in Asia focuses on the following key areas:
1. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM)
2. Improving water productivity and water quality
3. Rehabilitation of degraded lands
4. Livelihood strategies and best practices
5. Sustainable watershed development
6. Drought mitigation
7. Urban and peri-urban agriculture
8. Groundwater
9. Policy recommendations and institutional reform
IWMI Central Asia
In Central Asia, IWMI’s subregional office is located in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Central Asia faces a number of challenges. Land, water and environmental degradation, combined with the near collapse of many of the former Soviet institutions, are major constraints. Yet, a resurgent agriculture sector has the potential to offer livelihood opportunities for rural communities.
IWMI’s work in this subregion is focused on improving the management of degraded land and water resources, and on recreating the necessary institutional arrangements to better manage natural resources.
Major IWMI projects in Central Asia include, “Integrated water resources management
in the Fergana Valley”, “Water productivity improvement at plot level” and “Lift, canal and groundwater irrigation in the Syr Darya and Amu Darya river basins”.
IWMI South Asia
In the South Asia subregion, IWMI has offices in India (Hyderabad and New Delhi), Pakistan (Lahore) and Nepal (Kathmandu), and has ongoing activities in Bangladesh. The economic growth in the region in recent years has presented opportunities for improving the productivity of land and water resources and reducing poverty, yet it also presents challenges to ensure
that the demand for these resources does not negatively impact the poor and the environment.
IWMI’s current research in the region focuses on water resources management in the Eastern Gangetic Plains (including parts of Bangladesh), IWMI-Tata Water Policy Research Program, resource recovery and reuse for urban/peri-urban agriculture, adaptation to climate change, flood-risk mapping, and water management in rainfed areas in central and southern India.
IWMI Southeast Asia
In Southeast Asia (SEA), IWMI’s subregional office is located in Vientiane, Laos.
Significant economic growth in SEA has contributed positively to the alleviation of poverty and improvement in living conditions. However, a large proportion of the population, especially
in rural areas, continues to suffer from poverty and food insecurity. Experience indicates that economic growth alone is neither fast nor inclusive enough to lift the majority of poor farmers out of poverty and more focused interventions are necessary. IWMI’s work in SEA focuses primarily on the Greater Mekong Subregion, on issues related to hydropower, the energy- food-water nexus and small-scale irrigation. This includes work on synergies between hydropower production and irrigation, the opportunities that large reservoirs may provide for local people and the potential of benefit sharing mechanisms. A major project, evaluating opportunities for expanding groundwater irrigation in Laos, commenced this year.
Responsibilities
• Lead the development of IWMI’s program in the Asia region.
• Coordinate the work of IWMI offices in the region, and provide oversight and management to Office Heads and administrative staff within the region.
• Support the implementation of the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE), and integrate inputs and outputs between partners.
• Work with the Deputy Director General – Research, and Theme and Project Leaders to ensure IWMI’s participation in other CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs) that complement WLE.
• Play a leading role in delivering tangible development outcomes arising from IWMI’s research.
• Develop an in-depth knowledge of the region and its political economy, and represent the Director General (DG) to regional stakeholders, donors, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), civil society and regional alliances, acting as the first point of contact.
• Represent IWMI at regional fora, meetings and conferences.
• Work with the Business Development Director/Theme Leaders to ensure the development and maintenance of a strong project pipeline.
• Seek opportunities for funding, and contribute to proposal writing and other scientific knowledge activities as appropriate.
• Be a member of IWMI’s Management Team and support the DG with planned/ad hoc reviews, submissions and other duties as required.
• Liaise, as appropriate, with corporate services at IWMI headquarters, e.g., Finance, Human Resources, and the Information and Knowledge Group.
• Deal with everyday issues of staff located in the region, and provide guidance and mentoring as appropriate.
• Ensure IWMI’s Management Team is kept informed of issues and potential risks as they arise, and mitigate risk in IWMI’s activities within the region
Skills & Required
Qualifications
• A PhD or equivalent experience in an area relevant to the theme
(e.g., hydrology/hydrogeology, irrigation/agricultural science, environmental science, economics, development studies).
• Extensive experience of living and/or working in Asia, and be comfortable interacting with the senior decision makers.
• Experience in senior management positions, ideally with corporate management experience.
• Previous intellectual leadership of key science areas relevant to IWMI’s agenda, having had an impact on development challenges.
• Extensive knowledge of agriculture and natural resource concerns in most/all regions of Asia.
