Global Water Partnership, Central Africa

About us

The extent to which GWP has successfully fostered governance change is most explicitly captured through the monitoring of water governance outcomes, such as a new water policy, revised legislation, institutional reform or a transboundary agreement. All water governance outcomes to which GWP has contributed are assumed to lead to sustainable socio-economic benefits among the target populations through, for example, increased investment in appropriate infrastructure, empowerment of vulnerable groups and more sustainable use of resources.

We are increasingly able to document such impact, particularly with regards to investments. This is most directly done through the value of investment that GWP has helped to leverage, i.e. support provided to mandated institutions to access funding for project implementation, but also applies to the attribution of downstream investments through national budgets and donor funding for the implementation of the various plans, strategies and initiatives supported by GWP.
