Cameroon - Enabling Environment

Action 8 - Strengthening IWRM in the process of decentralisation

In 2019, under the leadership of Cameroon Ministry of Water and Energy and with the technical support of GWP Central Africa, stakeholders from national government agencies, development partners, NGOs, civil society, and the private sector came together to define a series of strategic actions for advancing on IWRM in Cameroon. The following action was defined as part of that process and identified as a priority action to be included in an action plan.

The purpose of this action is to strengthen IWRM through the national decentralisation process by establishing a conceptual framework and tools for decentralised water resources management, carrying out an annual review, and disseminating it to relevant stakeholders.
