Water for Peace Diplomacy in the Sahel and West Africa

Since 2018, we have been facilitating a dialogue on “Water as Driver of Peace in the Sahel,” engaging actors from development, humanitarian, peacebuilding and security sectors. By applying the framework of the Global High-Level Panel on Water and Peace to the multifaceted crisis impacting the Sahel region, the Geneva Water Hub and its strategic partners have undertaken efforts to explore how water can be used as an entry point to prevent and transform conflicts at local, intersectoral and transboundary levels.
