dcterms.abstractClimate change is straining water supplies and heightening community tensions. Evidence shows that when water scarcity rises within certain contexts, the risk of conflict increases. However, sustainable water management arrangements that are attuned to these dynamics, can offer important co-benefits for social cohesion and the emergence of a climate-resilient peace. To help equip those working in the field of water management prepare for and manage these risks, members of the CGIAR FOCUS Climate Security team delivered a multi-module training session on conflict-sensitive water management frameworks to over 35 water engineers from across Africa as part of the NWRC’s 29th Regional Annual Diploma Course on Hydraulic Engineering in River Basins.en
