This week at #EnPax, WPS partners discussed how water is a good entry point for peacebuilding. They offered several examples from our work. For example, in Mali, the community, champions, and the media truly feel they own the WPS work, which allows for an integrated approach in reducing water-related conflicts in the Inner Niger Delta. In Kenya, well-informed, strategic, and intentional multi-stakeholder dialogues have been key drivers in resolving water-related conflicts in Turkana County.

Water is truly a central factor in peacebuilding and other efforts that sustain peace either among animals or humans across different geographic points. That's why #water is key to One Billion Trees for Africa 's work, recharging drylands to accès water is paving way for peace

3moWho keeps donors accountable as we strengthen social accountability in governments? According to Kenya’s hashtag #waterregulator -WASREB KENYA, the county with the least hashtag #watercoverage #WestPokot at 2% similar to the previous reporting period. #Wajir at 3% #Marsabit 4%. #Turkana 4% #data. The counties with <15% water coverage are where some donors pride to have supported for even >20years pumping millions of US$ and share impact stories even at high level water events. But numbers never lie... So I'm wondering: 1. Where is the hashtag #ValueforMoney of investments in Kenya's water sector if there is no improvement in water coverage? 2. Why would counties like Turkana with heavy donor presence lack basic things like DATA! 3. How are donors transforming systems without data? WPS to utilize this information to rethink on water access for communities in continuous conflicts exuberated by water resource sharing.
