CWP Gambia to renew advocacy for UN 97 Water Convention ratification
The Gambia is yet to ratify the UN97 Transboundary Watercourses Convention. The former National Assembly members were sensitized and mobilized on the bill. There is the need to sensitize and mobilise the new Assembly Members on the UN97 Convention, the Gambia Water Bill, the National Water Resources Management Authority Bill and the Gambia Metrological Authority Bills respectively.
These three other bills were developed from the National Water Sector Reform Project.
The GCWP together with the Ministry of Water Resources and the Early Warning Project have finalized plans to conduct a three days training workshop with National Assembly members on the said bills. The Clerk of the Assembly is to decide for the dates. Funds are provided by the Early Warning Project. The trainings will be conducted in August 2018.
