BACKGROUND
![Page 3: Implementing the Water, Climate and Development Programme in Africa by Andrew Takawira](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5589da10d8b42a1f1d8b465e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
In November 2010 at the 3rd Africa Water Week in Addis Ababa:
AMCOW EXCO issued a decision for GWP and partners to operationalise the Water, Climate and Development Programme (WACDEP)
![Page 4: Implementing the Water, Climate and Development Programme in Africa by Andrew Takawira](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5589da10d8b42a1f1d8b465e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
WACDEP implements commitments in the 2008
Sharm el Sheik Declaration by the AU
Heads of State
And is central to the delivery of climate related objectives in the AMCOW
Triennial WorkPlan

• Within the GWP Global Climate Change Operational Strategy.
![Page 9: Implementing the Water, Climate and Development Programme in Africa by Andrew Takawira](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5589da10d8b42a1f1d8b465e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Goal of WACDEP
The goal of WACDEP is to promote water as a key part of
sustainable regional and national development and
contribute to climate change adaptation for economic
growth and human security.
![Page 10: Implementing the Water, Climate and Development Programme in Africa by Andrew Takawira](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081506/5589da10d8b42a1f1d8b465e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
This means…linking the water, climate and economic development agendas and
strengthening coordination frameworks
Climate community(UNFCC COP people)Developement community Water community
.......Working across silos, bridging divides.......
