All three components of the project will be conducted through a stake-
holder-driven process, where consultative working groups are established 
to oversee the main project and provide specific technical inputs at the 
national and basin levels for each of the component tasks and subtasks. 
The Project provides programme support for each of the three compo-
nents, support for meetings and facilitation, and capacity building where 
necessary. It also supports the drafting of detailed assessments and technical 
assistance, where it is necessary to develop strategies. The demonstration 
pilots under components 2 and 3 for verifying underlying assumptions of 
strategies to be incorporated into the IWRM and Water Use Efficiency 
Plan for the Zarafshan river basin are also supported by the project.
