Mano River Union Ecosystem Conservation and International Water Resources Management (IWRM) Project
13 May 2024
The Mano River Union Ecosystem Conservation and International Water Resources Management (IWRM) Project covers four countries: Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. The total area of the territory covered by the MRU is 751 450 km², distributed as follows: 71 740 km² for Sierra Leone, 111 370 km² for Liberia, 245 857 km² for Guinea and 322 462 km² for Côte d’Ivoire. The project will be implemented in the Upper Guinea forest covering Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia, and Cote d’Ivoire to strengthen the management of transboundary natural resources for sustained ecological benefits and improved livelihoods for the forest adjacent communities. The project will play a transformational role in the livelihoods of the communities living in the forest area covered by the project, enabling them to benefit from the ecosystem while not threatening it.
