The Caribbean Water Initiative (CARIWIN)
Water resource management is central to sustainable growth and poverty reduction. The hydrologic extremes of drought and floods, coupled with pollution, affect Caribbean prosperity. At the local, national and regional levels in the Caribbean, water availability and variability contribute significantly to the risks people face every day in caring for their families and ensuring their livelihoods.
To address the complex challenges of water management in the Caribbean region, CARWIN鈥檚 goal is to increase the capacity of Caribbean countries to deliver sustainable and equitable integrated water resources management (IWRM).
CARIWIN will help build the capacity of CARICOM countries to undertake integrated water resource management at the regional, national and community levels. Capacity building initiatives will be developed at CIMH, tested and delivered in three countries: Grenada, Guyana and Jamaica.
