Participatory and Climate-Informed Decision Support Systems: Enhancing Water Resource Planning and Climate Action in Peru

-- Water balance assessments using the HydroBID modeling tools have been completed in five basins: Tumbes, Zarumilla, Ilave, Ramis, and Nanay. In addition, a glacier module integrated into HydroBID Water Alloc was developed to enable the modeling of glacier-fed basins. -- Technical field visits were conducted in 16 of the 27 prioritised basins to complete the data required for modeling. Data collection and processing were carried out for the calculation of more than 50 indicators included in the climate risk assessment methodology. -- In 11/2025, the results of the national-level Blue Spot Analysis were formally presented to the Ministry of Transport and Communications. -- The Gender and Intersectionality in Water Analysis for Climate Action (GIAH) Methodology was finalised and formally validated by the Ministry of the Environment (MINAM) within the framework of the Group of Thematic Experts (GET) on Climate Change and Cross-Cutting Approaches. -- Between 11/2025 and 12/2025, the methodology for social studies in glacier-fed basins was implemented in three basins (Santa, Camaná, and Vilcanota-Urubamba), resulting in methodological adjustments based on field implementation. -- A total of 88% of participants rated the training activities above 8 on a scale from 1 to 10, indicating a high level of satisfaction. -- Thus far, 31% of workshop participants have completed the required number of training sessions and obtained certification in the use of the HydroBID Flood, HydroBID Water Alloc, and Blue Spot Analysis modeling tools. -- Six Water Utilities (EPS) were pre-selected for the implementation of pilot measures in the water and energy sectors: SEDAM Huancayo, UE 002 Agua Tumbes, EPS Tacna, EMAPICA, Aguas del Altiplano, and SEDALORETO. -- Six cities were selected for the sustainable urban mobility pilot: Pucallpa, Tarapoto, Iquitos, Ica, Huancayo, and Tacna. In addition, a study defining sustainable urban mobility indicators and a portfolio of potential projects was developed for the National Sustainable Urban Transport Program (PROMOVILIDAD). -- Moreover, draft versions of the stakeholder engagement strategy and the communications strategy and action plan have been developed, GETs on glaciers and cross-cutting approaches formally established and Terms of Reference for the procurement of a feasibility study on innovative financial solutions were prepared. -- The Project Steering Committee, installed in 06/2024, held its second meeting in 01/2026. Participants were eleven representatives from the following organisations: BMUKN, IKI Office at ZUG gGmbH, MINAM, SENAMHI, ANA, MTC, MVCS, IDB, OAS and RTI.
