- Climate Smart Rural Water & Sanitation Project:
The Gambia Climate Smart Rural WASH Development Project (CSRWASHDEP) includes delivery of better waste management services to improve environmental conditions and better protect national water resources in changing climatic conditions, particularly in riverine and coastal communities. The Project is designed to deliver the objectives through an Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) approach. The IWRM approach entails coordinated stakeholder interventions to improve the quality of economic and livelihood-driven interaction with nature’s water cycle (the Hydrological Cycle) in a manner that promotes safe, equitable and sustainable utilization of the water resources; the approach naturally embeds the need to improve sanitation, and to address the potential climate change impacts.
