On December 15, 2021, CWP Mali with the National Directorate of Water (DNH) held a workshop to advocate for the revitalization of the National Water Council in order to accelerate the implementation of IWRM and the achievement of the SDGs in Mali.
Among the major advances in the implementation of IWRM and the national effort to finance the management and protection of water resources in Burkina Faso, we can cite the adoption and implementation of the Financial Contribution for Water (CFE). It is well known that one of the challenges in all developing countries is the mobilization of resources to finance the sustainable management of water resources. "This is why Burkina Faso has adopted the principles of environmental taxation of the country, which is called the CFE," explains Mr. Firmin W. OUEDRAOGO of SP / IWRM.
