Grenada National Water Policy 2020

The National Water Policy 2019 (NWP 2019) has been formulated through a participatory process of focus groups and consultations involving many government ministries and agencies, and non-government stakeholders. In 2007, the first NWP was developed for Grenada, but by 2018 the Policy was never implemented.
The Goal of Grenada’s National Water Policy is to provide sustainable management of the country’s water resources, through stakeholder participation and contribution to economic, social, and environmental development in an efficient and equitable manner.
The Policy is organised in four Parts. Part 1 entails a situation analysis describing the global, regional, and local context and identifies Grenada’s water resources and water management issues.
Part 2, Strategic Focus, provides details on Vision Statement, Guiding Principles, Goal, Outcomes and Objectives of the Policy, basis and guidelines for action.
Part 3 sets the institutional Framework describing the Role of Government, Private Sector, Citizen, Society and of the International Development Community.
Part 4 concerns Policy Implementation and identifies Institutional Arrangements and Policy direction, coordination and regulation.
The policy promotes an equitable use and sustainable management of natural resources to promote poverty reduction and rural development.
Moreover, the policy identifies both structural and non-structural measures to facilitate climate resilience in the context of water management.
