Caribbean Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) Projects and Initiatives Database
Under its Water, Climate and Development Programme (WACDEP), the GWP-C has developed a database of regional IWRM projects which address climate resilience and water security. The need for such a database has been highlighted in the joint work programme of the CARICOM Consortium on Water for the biennium 2011-2012 as a means of avoiding duplication of efforts among the regional organisations working in the area of water resources management.
The database also serves as a reference point for future interventions by highlighting activities that could be built upon; identifying gaps and funding opportunities and; serving as a guide for partnerships and joint programming. The database will be updated and expanded periodically.
The projects in the database have been categorised and can be accessed through the table below:
