WP 3: No/low regret investments in water security

and climate resilience

To prioritise no/low regret

investments that provide

returns under a range of

current and future

scenarios (socio-

economic and climatic)

Framework is key to

the identification and

prioritisation of

no/low regret

investments

Investments will be for:

• Infrastructure (both natural and engineered

approaches)

• Ensuring reliable and timely information to

support decision-making

• Building institutional capacity to manage

water security in Africa

WP 3: No/low regret investments in water security

and climate resilience

• Database on Project

Preparation Facilities (PPF)

for water management and

development

• 8 national workshops on

project preparation and

financing

• Pan-African Project

Adaptation to CC capacity development

• With support from

CDKN - knowledge

products aimed at

increasing the

knowledge on water

security and climate

resilience have

been developed.

Enabling Actions – Developing capacities for water security

and climate resilience

LESSONS LEARNT FROM

IMPLEMENTATION

What will WACDEP deliver?

KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTS

At early stage ensure

knowledge products are

developed

Defining country and regional teams for implementation

At an early stage it is

important to build strong

implementation teams and

identify partners to work with

New waters

• Deepening the

understanding of

developing investment

options

• Project Preparation and

Financing

• Working with different

partners at local level in
