CIWA ANNUAL REPORT 2024

Summary

This report first presents CIWA’s new directions, which we collectively call CIWA 2.0, focusing on its new strategic orientation; enhanced approaches to FCV, GESI, biodiversity, and climate resilience; a more diversified investment portfolio; scaling up synergies with the World Bank Regional Integration IDA window; and an enhanced bottom-up approach. It then features regional sections that provide deeper dives into each of CIWA’s grants. Results are focused on outcomes from FY24, with previous years’ accomplishments described for context as needed. Whole-of-project narratives and results are provided when CIWA closed a project in FY24. The report then presents CIWA’s progress on cross-cutting themes including biodiversity conservation, FCV, GESI, and communications. In Looking Ahead, it describes the current trajectories in CIWA’s portfolio and how they are expected to be carried forward in the next fiscal year. Throughout the report are profiles of people with whom CIWA or its partners work in the field to provide a more personal look at CIWA’s impact. Annexes provide (i) analyses of CIWA’s cumulative allocations, (ii) annual and cumulative results of CIWA’s indicators, (iii) a risk analysis with an emphasis on recent shifts or mitigation opportunities, (iv) CIWA’s cumulative detailed financial record, (v) a value-for-money analysis of the cumulative portfolio, (vi) Midterm Evaluation Recommendations / Actions, and (vii) the communications results framework.
