WaterAid is delighted to announce a new partnership with 2iE and CREPA, two reputed African institutions working in the water and sanitation sector.

Over the last 40 years 2iE, which specialises in water, energy and environment, has been working in 14 French speaking African countries. CREPA is an interstate institution working in 17 Central and West African countries.

The partnerships will focus on using local solutions and expertise for local situations while building a strategy that's adaptable to needs on the ground.

The relationship will equally serve CREPA's growth with opportunity to focus on advocacy, mobilising financial resources and regional institutions, and promoting sustainable environmental solutions. Long terms goals will look to developing new partnerships with other regional institutions as well as providing links with English speaking African countries.
