Efficient water resource management means improved living-conditions for the population and less environmental pollution. Improved water supply and sanitation also lay the foundation for increased productivity and therefore for economic growth. GIZ supports this development through a wide range of projects.

Regional focal points of German Development Cooperation in the water sector are the Middle East, North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa. GIZ is currently conducting 70 projects and programmes in 36 countries. On the following pages you will find a small selection of our work.
