Strengthening Water Resources Management in Afghanistan (SWaRMA) aims to enhance Afghanistan’s regional engagement with its HKH neighbours for the management and development of water resources that are important to Afghanistan’s overall development. SWaRMA is a capacity enhancement initiative for co-creating knowledge and providing co-learning opportunities in Afghanistan, supported by the Governments of Afghanistan, Australia, and CSIRO. Preliminary assessments indicate a need to strengthen knowledge and fill critical information gaps through regular dialogue and interactions with neighbouring countries and international agencies for better understanding and management of water resources.
