- a good level coordination of the chair of the CWP- Guinea supported by members of other bodies and the Executive Secretary;
- the CWP is recognized in its new dynamism by the authorities met and the demonstration of their willingness to collaborate with the Partnership in carrying out their mission and to support its development.
There is a shared interest of the authorities met in setting up a sub-regional initiative to ensure the protection and restoration of the head water sources of transboundary basins in West Africa in Guinea. There is also a need for the GWP-WA to support the technical and organizational development of the CWP Guinea.
