Africa: SADC Groundwater Programme

Monitoring and evaluation of environmental and social safeguards were performed during the implementation of small-scale water infrastructure projects as part of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Programme (SADC-GMI) (2016 – 2021). This entailed capturing lessons learned and obtaining stakeholder input. A 10-year bankable project plan (2021 – 2031) was developed to support funding submissions to donors by SADC-GMI. An environmental and social management framework, aligned with good international industry practice, was developed for managing risks during the future implementation of the programme.
