The Geneva Water Hub contributed to this webinar presenting the Global High Level Panel on Water and Peace’s vision on groundwater and hydrodiplomacy, as well as its applied interstate dialogue on the Senegalese-Mauritanian Aquifer Basin (SMAB). As mentioned by the Pôle Eau Dakar, it’s essential to develop and foster a network on water diplomacy in the region to address challenges related to groundwater.
A detailed debriefing of the session is available on the Global Water Partnership West Africa (GWP-WA) website on this page.
