USAID’s Water and Conflict Toolkit, originally published in 2014, has recently been updated. This revised version provides guidance for implementing partners, USAID staff, and other stakeholders to better understand the connection between water management and key risk factors associated with conflict, address linkages, and incorporate conflict integration into water security, sanitation, and hygiene programming. The toolkit is one of a series of forthcoming USAID resources around conflict including land, Feed the Future, food systems, and conflict integration.
Please note that USAID’s Research Technical Assistance Center (RTAC) has concluded. The RTAC website will be decommissioned at the end of 2025. Some materials will be transferred to the NORC website and the USAID Learning Lab website in the coming months. However, we recommend downloading any materials you would like to preserve at this time.
