TDA/SAP Methodology

There is no ‘standard’ approach to the TDA/SAP process: each water system and each IW Project is unique and the resultant TDA and SAP will also be unique. However, this manual provides a 'non-prescriptive', simple and stepwise approach for the TDA/SAP process that many projects have followed over the last 26 years. It includes references and links to best practices and experiences from a wealth of completed and on-going projects.

TDA/SAP Online Course- New!
The overall goal of the TDA/SAP online course is to provide a very brief summary of the key steps recommended in the Manual to enable all those involved in the development of the TDA/SAP (project staff, consultants, national experts, civil society, private sector, government representatives, etc.) to have an awareness of the process.
TDA/SAP Face to Face Training Course
Supporting the TDA/SAP Manual is an instructor-led TDA/SAP training course. It has been designed to be delivered at GEF IW project sites and can be customised according to how advanced a GEF project is on the TDA/SAP process and the water system type (e.g. LME, River basin, Lake, Aquifer).
The course consists of 4 modules that cover the entire TDA/SAP process. These are:
Module 1: Introduction to the TDA/SAP ProcessModule 2: Developing the TDA
Module 3: Formulating the SAP
Module 4: Managing the TDA/SAP process
