GWP-WA is the regional branch of the Global Water Partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global Water Partnership (GWP) is an intergovernmental organization established in 1996 to help countries translate into action the principles of sustainable management of water resources generated at the conferences in Dublin (1991) and Rio (1992). GWP mobilizes states and civil society in order to keep water resources management related issues at the highest possible level in the international, regional and national agenda. GWP also supports states and transboundary basin organizations for the sustainable management of water resources, promoting Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) as a relevant and comprehensive approach to address climate resilient development which should face states and local communities (drinking water supply and sanitation, agriculture, environment, floods).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/gwpo-gwp.org\/afrique-ouest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2026\/01\/placeholder-1600-900.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777988769226596;width:1200px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gwpo-gwp.org\/afrique-ouest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2026\/01\/placeholder-1600-900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/gwpo-gwp.org\/afrique-ouest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2026\/01\/placeholder-1600-900-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gwpo-gwp.org\/afrique-ouest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2026\/01\/placeholder-1600-900-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gwpo-gwp.org\/afrique-ouest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2026\/01\/placeholder-1600-900-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gwpo-gwp.org\/afrique-ouest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2026\/01\/placeholder-1600-900-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gwpo-gwp.org\/afrique-ouest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2026\/01\/placeholder-1600-900-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>GWP-WA is headquartered in <strong>Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso<\/strong>.
