| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The proposed Water Organization Partnerships for Resilience (WOP4R) to be implemented through the subproject will build on the success, and factor in lessons learned from the WOP program. Through twinning partnerships, WOP4R will support water entities to become more sustainable, more inclusive, and more resilient, so they are better prepared to address water security challenges, better equipped to tackle increasing climate change and disaster risks, and better prepared for any pandemics in future, such as the ongoing Corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic. | ||||||
