Did you know? **Africa is home to over 70 shared aquifers, but fewer than 15 have been the focus of transboundary projects, and less than 5 are included in water agreements. The untapped potential for cooperation is enormous!**\
\
Join us at **World Water Week 2024 at A2, Level 6 or online** as we explore how shared aquifers can advance climate resilience and water security in Africa. Featuring insights from the new GEF-funded Groundwater for Advancing Resilience in Africa (G4DR) project, this session will delve into lessons from global experiences to enhance transboundary groundwater management across the continent.\
