The Value of Water: Lessons learned from the USAID Resilient Waters Program

The webinar will feature the following presentations, followed by a facilitated Q&A session:
1. Introduction: an overview of the Program and its objectives
2. The value of water (Transboundary): challenges faced at the transboundary level, the value of water across our footprint, with a specific focus on groundwater; the establishment of Buzi-Pungwe-Save (BuPuSa) as a River Basin Organization.
3. The value of water (National): details the findings from GLAAS workshops and how these became activities â with a specific focus on the Botswana National Sanitation Roadmap and the Fecal Sludge Management Strategy for South Africa.
4. The value of water (Communities): highlights four key activities: a) Community-led total sanitation (CLTS); b) Climate-smart agriculture and fisheries; c) improved water security and local livelihoods through integrated catchment management; and d) Strategic Environmental Management Plan (SEMP)
5. What have we learned and how do we take it forward?
