The @AfDB_Group and @GCAdaptation organised a side event on #Water Solutions for #Climate Adaptation. At the event, participants discussed #resilience building to #Climatechange across #Africa including developing states and vulnerable nations. #UNWaterConference
At the event with @GCAdaptation, @beth_dunford said, "...adaptation is important for all the people we work with and serve, and in all the countries that are sitting around the table. Focusing on water and sanitation is a huge commitment of the @AfDB_Group." #UNWaterConference
"Over the past two decades, @AfDB_Group has put $9billion into #water services & #sanitation in #Africa. Our Water Policy & Strategy 2021–2025 commits a further $6 billion. This is an investment in providing water & sanitation, and supporting African governments." - @beth_dunford
"The partnership with the Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program is important – it helps us facilitate and focus investment to ensure that the #infrastructure we’re building in #water and #sanitation is adapted to a changing #climate." - @beth_dunford #UNWaterConference
