For instance: the process of action plan formulation is initiated at country level through Country Water Partnerships (CWPs), the Regional Office (GWP Eastern Africa) aligns the draft action plans with the overall GWP strategic goals and submits the draft action plans to Regional Steering Committee (RSC) for systematic review, scrutiny and approval.
Once approved and adopted, the final report is submitted to GWP for consideration and financing. The bottom-up approach adds value to the region in terms of effective use and management of resources (financial), coherence and coordination and focusing on real issues.
