Pays/Région : Ethiopia, Niger, Tanzania, South Africa

Durée  : May 2, 2015 - April 30, 2019

Descriptif
GroFutures will apply new geophysical techniques and compile long-term observations of groundwater levels from the Network of Groundwater Obsevatories (NAGO) to substantially improve knowledge of the renewability and volume of groundwater in Sub-Saharan Africa. GroFutures will also develop an inclusive, participatory framework for groundwater governance in which the views of poor women and men are considered together with the trade-offs associated with groundwater development pathways.
