Faced with increased threats from a changing climate, rainwater is key to a more productive and sustainable agriculture. Africa already has the basic structures in place, but a lack of investment is holding the continent back from reaching the full potential.

The TIARA project is changing the trajectory of water investments in Africa, to match existing structures, making it possible to reap the benefits from better rainwater management.
