Sector Project Policy Advice Groundwater – Resources and Management

Through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the United Nations and their member states have defined ambitious objectives that shall improve peoples’ lives until 2030. One of the SGDs’ basic principles is the assumption, that no goal can be achieved without implementation of all other goals. In that sense, SDG 6 aims to ensure availability of safe drinking water for all and the sustainable management of water resources. At the same time, it is strongly linked to especially the goals concerning food security, climate mitigation and adaption, as well as to health. The sector project highlights the role of groundwater for the achievement of SDG 6.

Advising the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)
The sector project Policy Advice Groundwater supports the BMZ in the development of strategies, sectoral guidelines and concepts, like the BMZ Water Strategy published in 2017, as well as in the formulation of country and region-specific policy approaches in the water sector. It channels the expertise of BGR and feeds it into the political process. The sector project connects groundwater governance and management with current development policy issues, such as climate change, food security as well as refugees and migration. Groundwater aspects are incorporated into the international political agenda through conferences and publications and made accessible for a wide range of experts. The sector project also supports networks to strengthen groundwater governance internationally. In addition, it supports the BMZ sector department in evaluating project proposals by the German implementing organizations (like GIZ or KfW) and Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and answering inquiries from citizen and parliamentarians.
