The World Resources Institute (WRI) is implementing a three-year project (2022-2024) to improve water governance, basin planning, and watershed conservation in Ethiopia's Tana Subbasin. Funded by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, the initiative aims to reduce water stress and increase climate resilience by strengthening data systems, management capacities, and cross-sectoral coordination.

This report by the World Resources Institute provides a roadmap of recommended actions for various urban actors to achieve more equitable and sustainable cities. It outlines seven cross-sectoral transformations—covering infrastructure, service provision, data, employment, finance, land management, and governance—designed to close the 'urban services divide' and improve the quality of life for vulnerable urban residents, particularly in the global south.

The World Resources Institute (WRI) has outlined its Ethiopia Country Transition Strategy (2026–2032), which aims to catalyze a transition toward inclusive green growth. The strategy focuses on transforming three interconnected human systems—cities, energy, and food, land, and water—while strengthening the underlying economics, finance, and governance to ensure Ethiopia's natural wealth leads to shared prosperity and climate resilience.

This case study examines how Rwanda addressed a severe electricity crisis in 2004 by restoring the Rugezi-Bulera-Ruhondo watershed to maintain the operational capacity of its primary hydropower stations.

This case study examines the implementation of the Index-Based Livestock Insurance Project in Mongolia, designed to mitigate the financial devastation caused by dzuds (severe winter weather). The project transitions the country from reactive, ex post disaster funding to a proactive, ex ante risk management strategy using mortality-based indices rather than individual loss assessments.

This fact sheet by WWF South Africa examines water crises in several global cities to provide insights for Cape Town. It details the causes of water stress—ranging from lack of planning and infrastructure decay to climate-driven droughts—and evaluates the effectiveness of short-term responses versus long-term resilience strategies like demand management and supply diversification.

This fact sheet from WWF South Africa describes the role, management, and challenges of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in South Africa. It details the legislative framework, the different types of protection zones, and the importance of these areas for biodiversity, climate resilience, and economic stability. The document also highlights specific major MPAs and South Africa's commitment to the global '30x30' biodiversity target.
