Global Water Initiative : Ghana
GWI Ghana's 2008 baseline study of water and sanitation provision in the Upper West Region showed that vulnerable populations had limited access to drinking water (approximately 50% coverage). There was low hygiene awareness among schools and communities, as well as low sanitation coverage and usage (more than 90% of local people were defecating in the open).

Global Water Initiative : Sénégal
Our work in Senegal focused on supporting smallholders who are farming, transforming and trading rice in the irrigated area around the Niandouba and Confluent dams in the Anambé river basin. We also looked at the overall economic impact of the dams, both in terms of their overall return on investment, and in terms of how they improve the livelihoods of the farming communities

Global Water Initiative : Niger
Our work in Niger focused on achieving secure land tenure for both the state and smallholders affected by the construction of Kandadji dam. We also looked at the overall economic impact of the dam itself in improving livelihoods of the communities it affects, primarily through benefit-sharing mechanisms such as the creation of a local development fund.
