The Honourable Vice President of the Republic of Sierra Leone- Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh, Honourable Ministers, Members of Parliament, members of the diplomatic and consular corps, development partners, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good morning,
On behalf of the National Water Resources Management Agency, I extend a heartfelt welcome to all of you gathered here today for a momentous occasion—the launch of our Western Area Peninsular Water Fund. We are honoured and excited to have you join us as we embark on a journey that holds immense promise for our communities, environment, and the sustainable future we envision.
Water is a precious resource, a lifeline that connects us all. It is our collective responsibility to ensure its availability and quality for current and future generations. Recognizing this critical need, we have come together to establish the Western Area Peninsular Water Fund, a testament to our commitment to water conservation, ecosystem restoration, and community resilience.
I express my sincere gratitude to our partners, (the Catholic Relief Services, -CRS and the Nature Conservancy-TNC) collaborators, and all those who have contributed their expertise and support to make this initiative a reality. Your commitment to the cause is invaluable, and we are proud to stand alongside you in addressing the challenges and opportunities that water stewardship presents.
The Western Area Peninsular Water Fund is not just a financial mechanism; it is a symbol of unity, a platform for collaboration, and a catalyst for positive change. Through this fund, we aim to implement projects and initiatives that will enhance water security, protect biodiversity, and strengthen the resilience of communities that depend on these vital resources.
As we unveil the Western Area Peninsular Water Fund, I invite you to explore the possibilities it brings and to join us in our mission to safeguard water for today and tomorrow. Together, we can make a lasting impact and create a legacy of sustainability that transcends generations.
Thank you for your presence, your commitment, and your dedication to the cause. Let us work hand in hand to ensure a water-secure and thriving future for all.
Enjoy the launch event!
Thank you for your attention.
