INTRODUCTION
The Global Water Partnership (GWP) is a global action network of partners supporting countries and regions in the sustainable development and management of water and related resources worldwide. GWP was created to foster the implementation of integrated water resources management (IWRM).
GWPs vision is for a water secure world, where all water needs and demands are assured. GWP provides its Partners around the world with a neutral platform to uphold the core values of inclusiveness, openness, transparency, accountability, respect, gender sensitivity, and solidarity, and realize its mission to advance the governance and management of water resources for sustainable and equitable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The GWP network is supported by a global secretariat (Global Water Partnership Organisation (GWPO), an intergovernmental organization based in Sweden) and is composed of more than 65 Country Water Partnerships (CWPs) and 13 Regional Water Partnerships (RWPs), which bring together GWP partners at their level and facilitate the implementation of coordinated actions by governmental and non-governmental actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The Central Africa Regional Water Partnership (GWP-CAf) is a Regional Water Partnership and as such brings together GWP network partners in the region, including governmental, non-governmental, research, and private sector institutions. GWP-CAf supports the implementation of GWP’s strategic objectives in Central Africa, and is currently implementing its three-year work program for the period 2020-2022, based on the GWP Network’s 2020-2025 strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


GWP-CAf works closely with the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS),
Transboundary Basin Organizations and other key regional institutions in Central Africa.
GWP-CAf supports the Country Water Partnerships established in 5 countries of the region,
and more broadly supports all countries and partners in the region in the sustainable
development and management of their water resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


GWP-CAf has a governance structure comprising the following structures:
\uf0b7 General Assembly, the highest decision-making body gathering all GWP partners in the
region and meeting every two years.
\uf0b7 Presidency, official representative of GWP Central Africa.
\uf0b7 Steering Committee, body that gives strategic orientations for the work of the secretariat,
in accordance with the orientations of the General Assembly.
\uf0b7 Scientific and Technical Committee (TEC), an advisory body that deals with prospective
analysis, lessons learned and quality assurance for all key activities (programs and
projects) of GWP-CAf.
\uf0b7 The GWP-CAf Secretariat, with approximately four permanent staff, is responsible for the
overall coordination, day-to-day management and administration of GWP-CAf’s CORE
and programmatic activities, and is headed by the Executive Secretary. The secretariat
also includes 4 project staff for the implementation of the WACDEP-Gender project, and
is currently hosted by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Cameroon office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


GWP Central Africa has been implementing several programs related to Integrated Water
Resources Management (IWRM) and climate change for over a decade. The region intends to
expand its programmatic activities to contribute to new and emerging global and regional
challenges such as climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Currently,
it is implementing the Water, Climate and Development for Gender Equality Program
(WACDEP-G) in Africa and supporting countries in the Region in planning for climate change
adaptation, and in mobilizing funds for water sector investments.
The region is also working on developing portfolios on the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), disaster risk management (Early Warning System), food security in a \u00ab\u00a0NEXUS\u00a0\u00bb
