The ‘Unlocking Resilient Benefits from African Water Resources’ – or RESBEN – project, funded by the UKRI, is a large-scale project that engages communities in research, towards re-thinking how water resources are managed in African countries. The project includes all the partners of the African Research University Alliance Water Centre of Excellence, and two UK universities: Lancaster University and the University of Sheffield. Read More
