Morocco
Under the Africa Water Stewardship Initiative, ECCBC partnered with Living Planet Morocco (LPM) and Global Water Challenge (GWC) to implement a watershed restoration initiative in the Oum Er-Rbia Basin.
This basin is a strategic water source serving Casablanca, Marrakesh, and Settat, making its resilience critical at national level.
The project focuses on:
- Wetland restoration to enhance natural recharge
- Nature-based solutions for water retention
- Community training in sustainable agricultural practicesship
By strengthening ecosystem function and community capability, the initiative contributes to basin-level water balance and long-term resilience.
Preparatory risk assessments continue in Algeria and Cape Verde to guide future deployment under the broader Replenish Africa 2035 framework.
