This document discusses Work Package 8 of the WACDEP program, which focuses on partnership and sustainability in West Africa. The key activities under Work Package 8 include managing and coordinating the program, engaging stakeholders, fundraising, and monitoring and evaluation. Specific activities involve expanding steering committees, developing joint initiatives with regional organizations, seeking co-funding, and conducting external audits. While Work Package 8 helped strengthen partnerships and credibility of country water partnerships in Burkina Faso and Ghana, the conclusion notes the regional budget for Work Package 8 was too small to fully link with regional and country implementation processes.

the WRC, NDCP, MOFEP, MWRWH, EPA,
MLGRD, MOWAC, Ministry of Lands and Natural

- the implementation of MOU with ECOWAS/WRCC, and
VBA with GWP/WA has been strenghtenned with
tangible collaboration actions with strong perspectives
for follow-up.
- the CWPs in Burkina Faso and Ghana gain more
credibility with sound input in their collaboration with
government bodies and other Partners.
However, at regional level, the budget for the WP8
appeared to be too small for linkages with the
regional and country implementation processes.
