The document presents an overview of the findings of a stocktaking exercise conducted among selected regional resilience initiatives and Advisory Services and Analytics (ASAs), supported by the World Bank in the HoA.
Ensuring Gender and Social Inclusion is Considered at the Project Concept Phase
The CIWA Learning Notes form part of CIWA’s commitment to promoting the adoption of a transformative approach to GESI by recognizing the need to undertake multiple interventions across many sectors and levels to tackle the deep-seated gender inequalities and shifting gender relationships within the transboundary water context in Africa at both the project and institutional level.

For 10 years, CIWA has fostered cooperation over transboundary waters, improved water resources management, protected biodiversity, helped countries beset by conflict and fragility, and spurred climate resilience in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Strengthening Regional Water Security for Greater Resilience in the G5 Sahel
The World Bank’s historical engagement in transboundary water in West Africa is at a turning point, at a time when the G5 Sahel region faces unprecedented challenges. Therefore, it is time for the World Bank to broaden its water sector approach in the G5 Sahel and shift its focus to establishing a regional water security framework. This report also serve as a basis for deepening the dialogue with counterparts in the next fiscal year.

Water Cooperation in the Horn of Africa: Addressing Drivers of Conflict and Strengthening Resilience
This joint SIPRI–CIWA report aims to help to fill this research gap by exploring the role of local-level cooperative initiatives in improving water resource challenges in the Horn of Africa. The report draws on three illustrative case studies of transboundary basins in cross-border regions: the Sio–Malaba–Malakishi Basin; the Dawa River and Aquifer; and the Bahr el Ghazal Basin and the Baggara Basin Aquifer. In doing so, it provides lessons learned from existing cooperative initiatives.

World Bank Engagement in Transboundary Waters in West Africa: Retrospective and Lessons Learned
This paper looks at the World Bank’s engagement in transboundary waters in West Africa (in particular Senegal basin, Niger basin, Volta basin, and Lake Chad basin) over the past twenty years and derives lessons that can inform future engagement in the region and the sector.
Drought Resilience Profile, SADC Region
This Drought Resilience Profile for the SADC region provides a snapshot of the drought situation in each country, as evaluated through SADRI’s organizing approach, which is predicated upon the integrated drought risk management framework: 1) monitoring and early warning systems; 2) vulnerability and impact assessment; and 3) mitigation, preparedness, and response. This Profile and the 16 other ones dedicated to Mauritius, Madagascar, Seychelles, Malawi, the Comores, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, DRC, Angola, Botswana, South Africa, Lesotho, Namibia and Eswatini are meant to establish a baseline and to serve as a conversation starter for where and how to move from reactive to proactive drought management.
