|  The Southern Africa Water Wire provides in-depth coverage of a diverse range
of water-related issues in Southern Africa linking water to economic
development, social well-being and environmental protection. The articles
supplied here are the product of local journalists in touch with policy
makers and people on the front lines of water crises, to analyse the
problems confronting management of this precious commodity -- and the ways
around these obstacles. The Southern Africa Water Wire is one of the
awareness creation tools for the Regional Water Sector Programme - A
Southern African Development Community (SADC) initiative funded by Danida.
IPS gratefully acknowledges the
support of the SADC

for an IPS programme of work in 2007 on water. |

While
in wealthy countries the looming climate crisis
is a matter of concern, in Africa, which has
hardly contributed to climate change, it is
a matter of life and death, writes Wangari
Maathai, the 2004 Nobel Peace Laureate, member
of Kenya’s Parliament and the founder of the
Green Belt Movement.
