About IIED's publications

The Global Water Initiative (GWI) aims to support the sustainable and equitable delivery of potable water to vulnerable communities in dry and semiarid areas in 13 countries in Central America, East Africa and West Africa. In West Africa, GWI is working in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Niger and Senegal with a small~group of organisations that constitute the core-partners of the initiative. This strategy summarises our current thinking and provides a strategic framework for our decision-making and work in West Africa over the next 10 years.

GWI West Africa: project background

One billion people lack access to improved water sources, and more than 2.6 billion people lack adequate sanitation. We coordinate the Global Water Initiative in five countries in West Africa to address the challenges of providing long-term access to clean water and sanitation and the protection of ecosystem services and watersheds.
