The Gambia joins UN Water Convention to boost cross-border cooperation on its shared waters
The Gambia has taken a decisive step for cooperative water action by officially becoming the 52nd Party to the Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes (known as the UN Water Convention) and 9th Party in Africa. The Gambia’s accession comes within weeks of Namibia and Panama’s accessions, demonstrating the growing global momentum for cross-border water cooperation, supported by the Water Convention.
