IWRM incorporated into urban management in Cameroon

Although integrating IWRM into existing management structures is a long-term endeavour, taking a consultative approach raises awareness, fosters community participation and encourages different sectors to coordinate their efforts.

As a result of a workshop in 2008 and training course in 2009 organised by GWP Cameroon, the Douala Urban Council incorporated IWRM approaches into its 2011 work plan. This is just a first step and GWP Cameroon will carry on supporting the Douala Urban Council in turning the plan into action.
