4 Zanadu is a fictitious country based on real life conditions*.
The training manual provides all relevant information but not every detail. Highlight that even for well known countries, you don’t have all the data at hand. » For discussions on the fictitious case see Trainer Handbook, chapter 3.2. Source: GIZ

5 Our case ‘Zanadu’ – general overview (1)
Sub-tropical developing country 300,000 square km (~Ecuador, Ivory Coast) 60 million population population density ~ 200/square km (~Pakistan, Jamaica) 48% rural; 52% urban (South State more urban) 1.9% growth rate -> urbanisation trend (population growth, migration) Education Literacy rate: 68% (76% male; 60% female) <5% university degree

6 Our case ‘Zanadu’ – general overview (2)
Governance Parliamentary democracy Three states: South State, West State, North State Relative autonomy Limited taxation power Most important ministries: Prime Ministry and Ministries of Planning, Finance, Industry, Water Resources and Agriculture Ministry of Environment understaffed Small environmental lobby

7 Our case ‘Zanadu’ – general overview (3)
Economy Per capita income ~1,800 EUR/year Growth potential: tourism (Eastern part South State) telecommunication Power/energy supply Electricity relies on hydro (15%), coal (75%), gas (10%) All major cities have electricity, but increase in load shedding 50% of rural areas are without electricity and rely on firewood Check training manual

8 Our case ‘Zanadu’ – general overview (4)
Agriculture West State Crops: cotton, cereals Poor soils Precipitation <800mm/year, peak in summer South State Breadbasket of the country Crops: rice, wheat, maize, cotton Agriculture accounts for ~20% of GDP, 40% of labor force Fertile alluvial flood plane Annual precipitation >1000mm/year, peak in summer Extensive irrigation schemes

9 Our case ‘Zanadu’ – general overview (5)
Water Water regime dominated by rivers Alph and Trans Increase in devastating floods in the Alph plain No established system of water rights Renewable water availability per capita: 1,600m3/year. (with population growth, this will fall below 1,000m3/capita (by 2040), even if water use remains constant)

10 Our case ‘Zanadu’ – climate
Wide range of climates: sub-tropical zone in the south with highly seasonal rainfall snow covered mountains in the north semi-arid plateau in the west High seasonal rainfall in summer, dry cool winter season Climate change signals Expected rise in temperature by 2°C by 2050 Unclear signals regarding precipitation Increasing incidence of droughts through shortfall of rain season More variable flows in river, lower late summer flows Reduced groundwater recharge Gradual submergence of Alph delta (sea level rise)
