The GWL Programme is being implemented through a strategic collaboration between GWP, UNICEF, SWA, JMP, and WHO. The programme runs from May 2021 until April 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The objective of the GWL programme is to strengthen leadership and collaboration in water resources and WASH governance at national and global levels, in addition to supporting the enabling environment for resilient and sustainable WASH services. The programme will utilize data and analyze the status of water resources management and WASH services to strengthen systems and the enabling environment and to support the development of a coherent climate rationale for the water and WASH sectors. The programme will also support the water and WASH sectors to identify opportunities for large-scale climate financing for climate-resilient water and sanitation services and water resources management.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gwp.org\/en\/GWP-Eastern-Africa\/ABOUT-GWPEA\/press-room\/News\/leveraging-water-for-peace-and-prosperity-the-launch-of-the-response-strategy-for-strengthening-water-resilience-in-rwanda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn about the launch of the IWRM\/WASH response strategy in Rwanda<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pb5YHF0liG4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Watch and learn about the launch of the Response Strategy in Uganda<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gwp.org\/en\/About\/more\/news\/2024\/seven-countries-geared-to-become-international-models-for-water-leadership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Seven Countries geared to become international models for water leadership<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The GWL Programme focuses on implementing inclusive, climate-resilient water policies and strategies in low and middle-income countries.
