The GIZ project ProWaS
– “Water Security and Climate Resilience in Urban Areas in Tanzania” is hosting
a new implementation approach for GIZ that is piloted in Tanzania and Colombia.
This approach is Water4Future, “Unlocking water for a
climate-resilient future” (W4F), which is an approach that strengthens the
capacities of developing countries to implement integrated solutions and
concrete measures to adapt to climate change, positioning water as a key
resource. The approach seeks to improve water security and climate resilience
through innovative approaches that articulate evidence-based climate risk
analysis, digital tools, and financing strategies. Key areas of action
(intervention) are (i) developing
integrated adaptation solutions for climate resilience of the water sector and (ii)
identifying financing requirements for
water-related adaptation measures.
