Resumen
Descripción
The IWMI West and Central Africa Regional Strategic Roadmap (2024–2030) provides a strategic framework for promoting water security, climate resilience, sustainable agriculture and equitable economic development in West and Central Africa. The roadmap is grounded in IWMI’s strong history of work in irrigation development, inclusive landscape management, digital water accounting, circular economy innovations, youth-led aquaculture and water governance, and addresses the growing challenges facing the region, including climate change, water scarcity, environmental degradation, rapid urbanisation and food insecurity.
The roadmap focuses on six strategic priorities: developing resilient agri-food systems; mitigating drought and flood risks; fostering circular water and food economy innovations; utilising water for resilience in fragile and conflict-affected situations; enhancing gender equity in water resource management; and facilitating evidence-based decisions on water infrastructure and allocation. These priorities will be delivered through integrated research, innovation, policy engagement, digital technologies and strategic partnerships.
Implementation will target priority countries and river basins and will involve working with governments, regional institutions, research organisations, development partners and the private sector. The roadmap aims to transform scientific knowledge into practical solutions to improve livelihoods, increase climate resilience and water governance, and promote sustainable and inclusive development in West and Central Africa by 2030.
