The AWF Launches its Strategic Plan 2012-2016
The revised Strategic Plan provides that the Facility will allocate 70 percent its resources to the preparation of investment projects, an activity that has proven highly effective in drawing additional investment funds. As at January 2012, the Facility had leveraged €420 million on follow-up investment projects since its launch in 2004, bringing its financial leveraging ratio to an average of 1 to 20 for completed projects.
The remaining funds will be distributed amongst projects designed towards enhancing water governance and promoting water knowledge. Download
