The Ruwa Water Project – Niger
The Ruwa Water Project aimed to improve water access in Niger's Dosso region, specifically in the Fakara and N'Gonga communes.
By mapping 1,647 water points and other infrastructure, the project provided essential data to aid local authorities in making informed decisions about developing new, safe drinking water sources.
This initiative involved local communities and stakeholders, enhancing the accuracy and sustainability of the data collected.
The project's success highlights the importance of community engagement and data-driven planning in addressing water scarcity issues in the Sahel region.
