Republic of the Congo - Institutions and Participation

Action 4 - Strengthen and harmonize the institutional framework of national IWRM plans, or equivalent

In 2019, the Congo General Directorate of Hydraulics, with the support of the Congo Country Water Partnership and GWP Central Africa, brought together stakeholders from government agencies, development partners, NGOs, and civil society to define a series of strategic actions for advancing on IWRM in the Republic of the Congo. 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 and harmonise the institutional framework for IWRM plans. It aims to reach this goal by harmonising the policy documents of the water sector, operationalising the water consultative council (CCE), finalising the setting up for the water sector institutional framework, operationalising the water basing agencies in conformity with the water code, and implementing consultative framework with national and local stakeholders.
