The aim of the meeting was to exchange views on how to set up a collaboration framework with a view to signing an Operational Partnership Protocol (OPP) between the two institutions working to develop Niger's water sector.
This collaboration between ARSEau, a structure set up by the Government of Niger to regulate activities in the water sector in the country, ensuring the application of the legislative and regulatory texts in force, and CWP Niger, a civil society structure, will give greater visibility and impact to the action of good governance of water resources in this country. ARSeau is an independent administrative authority, distinct from any other structure involved in the production, transport, distribution and operation of water.
The CWP is the country branch of the Ouaga-based Global Water Partnership West Africa (GWP-WA), which is part of the Global Water Partnership (GWP) network based in Stockholm, Sweden.
