  • Welcome to CRIDF’s Resource Centre

    The CRIDF Resource Centre brings together a large collection of resources related to CRIDF’s work to provide long-term solutions to water issues that affect the lives of the poor in Southern Africa. Pooling resources from both the CRIDF programme and external stakeholders, this tool will grow to provide a broad range of resources related to transboundary water management, large infrastructure projects and approaches to tackling the water issues faced by countries in Southern Africa.

    How to use
