2023 is a critical reporting year on the SDGs, when countries will detail their progress on water management, a process that will be supported by GWP and the SDG 6 IWRM Support Programme.
GWP SAS in collaboration with the Cooperate Social Responsibility Team of Brandix Apparel Ltd. organised a field visit to the Brandix Essentials Rambukkana plant in Sri Lanka on 19 December 2022.
The first water agency in Burkina Faso was created on 22 March 2007 and covers an area of 60,337 km², i.e. 21% of Burkina Faso's surface area, with a population of around 8 million inhabitants, representing 44% of the country's population in 2015. It covers several large cities including the capital Ouagadougou and six (06) regional chief locations, which increases the already strong pressure on the basin's water resources.
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.
The adoption and implementation of IWRM is part of a far-reaching reform of the country's water management.
The implementation of IWRM has allowed the capitalisation of important achievements that Mrs. Nadine NARE/OUERECE presented.
