Action 3 - Strengthening research in the water sector

In 2019, under the leadership of Cameroon Ministry of Water and Energy and with the technical support of GWP Central Africa, stakeholders from national government agencies, development partners, NGOs, civil society, and the private sector came together to define a series of strategic actions for advancing on IWRM in Cameroon. The following action was defined as part of that process and identified as a priority action to be included in an action plan.

The purpose of this action is to strengthen research in the water sector. It aims to reach this goal with a series of activities such as supporting the development of a research and development programme in IWRM,  supporting research on water, sanitation and the environment in Cameroon universities, as well as raising awareness among young students on research in the water sector through research outreach campaigns.
