Abstract: The Howard G. Buffet Foundation Global Water Initiative was developed in September 2006 with the aim of â??ensuring that vulnerable populations world-wide have reliable access to clean water in such a way that their dignity,rights,culture and natural environment are not negatively impactedâ?. The objectives of the initiative are to support integrated water management programs in identified countries,to develop a water constituency in those countries and regions,and to influence beyond this initiative for wider scale-up. The initiative is being implemented in three geographic clusters namely: Central America (El Salvador,Guatemala,Honduras and Nicaragua),West Africa (Burkina Faso,Ghana,Mali,Niger,and Senegal) and East Africa (Ethiopia,Kenya,Tanzania and Uganda). In Kenya,the HGBF-GWI program is being implemented by CARE,Action Against Hunger,and Catholic Relief Services.
