The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs (SCA) is offering this grant to organizations to implement the “Built Water Storage in South Asia” project. This grant is for building technical and policy capacity among regional stakeholders to develop and manage built water storage solutions. South and Central Asia face severe water stress due to climate change impacts like shrinking glaciers, altered monsoons, and droughts, compounded by increasing demands from growing populations and economies. The project aims to enhance water security by addressing storage gaps and improving water management through built storage, groundwater, and nature-based solutions. It will equip governments, water management professionals, and civil society with the necessary tools to tackle these critical water resource challenges.

| Description: | The Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs (SCA) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out the “Built Water Storage in South Asia” project to build technical and policy capacity to develop and manage built water storage in the region. Climate change is reducing water resources in South and Central Asia, which creates need for more water storage and improved water management. Shrinking glaciers, over-reliance on groundwater, changes in monsoon cycle, and increasing droughts –combined with growing populations and developing economies demanding more water for energy and agriculture–have highlighted water stress, threatening sustainable development and societal stability. Increased water storage (including built storage, groundwater and nature-based solutions) combined with improved water management could strengthen regional water security. Policy, engineering, and scientific communities may not fully recognize the scope and impact of these storage gaps. This project will build the technical and policy capacity of governments, water management professionals, civil society organizations, and other relevant actors to address these water resource challenges. |
