CuveWaters seeks sustainable solutions and supports Namibia's national strategies in the water and sanitation sector. The aim is to improve livelihood security, the regional economy, health conditions and job creation. In doing so, the Project contributes to the successful and adapted application of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) in Namibia. High expectations rest on this concept in terms of fulfilling the Millennium Development Goals. IWRM was established in 1992 as a conceptual framework on the basis of the Dublin Principles in order to promote sustainable management of water re sources.
