Integrerad vattenresursförvaltning Integrated Water Resources Management - IWRM DNH new strategy 2021-2025 Prgm består av: 1) stöd och utveckling av befintliga lokala vattenresurskommittéer (CLEs) för att underlätta gemensamma           välinformerade beslut om tilldelning vatten och därigenom bidra till  ökad livsmedelstrygghet och högre inkomster på landsbygden, 2)        Stärkande av det nationella vatteninformationssystemet och 3)uppdatera den nationella vattenresursförvaltningsplanen (PAGIRE) 1) support and development of existing Local Water Resources User Committees (CLEs) for common well-informed decisions on water         allocation and contribute to increased food security and higher incomes in rural area,  2) strengthening of national water information system to measure, store and analyze water data for informed decision making, 3) update the national IWRM plan (PAGIRE) The joint programme on IWRM (PCA-GIRE) has been financed by the Netherlands and Sweden and implemented by the National Water Directorate (Direction Nationale de l’Hydraulique, DNH) under the Ministry of Water and Energy as well as Wetlands International Mali. Sweden contributed with about 20 M SEK (11 % of the total budget) for the period 2014–2019.
 
The Swedish support included a technical assistance component implemented by COWI amounting to 6,5 M SEK. The remaining budget allocated to the DNH has among other things contributed to improving access to reliable data. The Netherlands finances activities implemented by the DNH and Wetlands while also having a specific focus on activities within the transboundary water management component, including activities that are implemented in Guinea and on in the border areas with Burkina Faso (the Sourou). The Dutch support continues until 2020 and has been extended to 2021.
 
The total budget is about 130 M SEK to which Mali contributes 15 %. The PCA-GIRE is built around five main pillars; improving policy, legal and financial frameworks, increasing transboundary water management and cooperation, increasing access and use of hydrological data, support to the decentralization of the water sector according to sub-basins and promoting cross-cutting aspects such as climate change and gender. Since the PCA-GIRE was initiated, the new national programme for IWRM (PN-GIRE) has been developed and approved by a technical committee (not politically).
The PN-GIRE sets out a new direction with new priority results areas
