REACH: Improving water security for poor people
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
To support Sustainable reduction in water insecurity in developing countries by producing robust and accessible evidence for governments, municipalities and other investment\policy decision makers and therefore long term, improved wellbeing for poor people dependent on water for livelihoods, health, environmental services in Africa and South Asia. This contributes towards our MDGs by providing efficient and sustainably managed water systems which will support increased water security for between 2.5 - 5 million people, while helping sustain and preserve water resources by 2021.
ARCAN - Africa Regional Climate and Nature Programme
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
The impact will be increased resilience of Africa economies and communities to the impacts of a changing climate, sustainable and environmentally sound economic development and low carbon green energy generation and access.
Transboundary Water Management in Southern Africa
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
The project will support countries in Southern Africa to manage their shared water resources, thereby helping 2-3 million poor people to better cope with the impacts of existing climate variability and climate change (especially floods and drought). It will do this by improving assessment and planning concerning these resources, and designing and building water infrastructure such as irrigation schemes, water supply or hydropower schemes. This will help poor and vulnerable people gain access to clean and safe water, produce a predictable agricultural yield and store water for when it is needed during the dry months of the year. The programme will also help countries to communicate hydrological data between themselves – thus providing downstream countries with advance notice of floods and enabling countries to optimise how much water is stored in each country to ensure each has enough to meet their basic requirements.
