A summary of the Water infrastructure team's strategic objectives, recent achievements and initiatives on which it seeks further support
We can only survive without drinking water for a few days – it's crucial for our survival. Water is also crucial for supporting people's ways of life, from raising livestock, to managing fisheries and irrigating crops. In many parts of semi-arid West Africa water is in short supply and the pressures on existing water resources are set to increase. IIED aims to help bring about fairer and more sustainable water governance that ensures poor and vulnerable communities don't miss out.
