CDKN supported GWP and AMCOW to develop the Framework for Water Security and Climate Resilient Development Strategic Framework: Launched at Africa Water Week in May Technical Background Document: Launched tomorrow at WWW 5 Policy Briefs Capacity Development Strategy Framework will be presented by Alex in more detail, but at a high level it recommends activities at different stages of planning and investment cycles, for different decision-makers (central ministries, line ministries, local government, transboundary bodies, civil society), to develop no/low regrets investment decisions to achieve water security and climate resilience. Highlight that CDKN is a “happy donor”, we benefit from GWPs wide networks across Africa, their engagement style, the technical expertise they bring and we have great working relationships at an operational level
