The Building Capacity for Integrated Family Planning and Reproductive Health and Population, Environment and Development Action (BUILD) project will host an online session at the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) World Water Week.
Details of the Session are as follows;
Date: 24th August 2022
Time: 1630 hrs to 1750 hrs GMT
Mode of participation: Online
The theme for the session is “Value of water on population, environment, and development.” The session aims to highlight the imperative of integrating the Population, Environment, and Development (PED) nexus in managing water resources and advocate for its inclusion in programs and policies geared towards ensuring societies can harmonize competing uses of water with population dynamics.
Given the growth in future water demand, as well as potential changes in the region’s future climate, this session will focus on the linkages between population dynamics, development, and water security in, which has been recognized as a sustainable development challenge in development policy documents and among stakeholders in Low-and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). This session will further explore the value of water to populations, environment, and development and integrated approaches to water resource management for sustainable development while also exploring gender perspectives for water management.
Specifically, the session seeks to:
- Foster dialogue on the PED nexus and the priority areas to ensure sustainable management of water resources in the face of competing demands and climate change.
- Demonstrate how integrated and coordinated water resource development and management at national and regional levels can contribute to sustainable socio-economic development and promote peace and stability in
- Address both direct and indirect impacts of population dynamics and development on water and livelihoods.
