Grenada National Training Agency (GNTA) collaborated with the Climate Resilient Water Sector in Grenada (G-CREWS) project to host a train-the trainer workshop for the newly developed climate-resilient plumbing modules. Over several months, the GNTA Curriculum Standards Department has been working closely with the G-CREWS project team to update the plumbing standards for Levels 1 to…

Building resilience to climate change begins long before the full effects reach our shores. Across Grenada, Carriacou, and Petit Martinique, changing weather patterns are already influencing our water supply. Although water often seems abundant, experts warn that if we continue with business-as-usual approach, by 2030 our national water demand may exceed our ability to supply it.  To ensure a resilient water sector, Grenada’s National Adaptation Plan (NAP) identifies several actions to strengthen the water sector, one action item is the development…

From district science fairs to summer camps, the G-CREWS project is planting seeds of innovation that can shape the future of water resilience in the region. For the past 5 years (2021 to 2025), the Climate-Resilient Water Sector in Grenada (G-CREWS) project has engaged approximately 10,000 students collectively through events such as the district and…

The G-CREWS Project, in partnership with the National Water and Sewerage Authority (NAWASA), has been making steady progress on critical infrastructure works designed to strengthen Grenada’s climate resilience in the water sector. Currently, the construction of the remaining four out of eight new storage tanks together with the installation of several hundred kilometres of pipelines…

The Climate-Resilient Water Sector in Grenada (G-CREWS) Project, spearheaded by the National Water and Sewerage Authority (NAWASA) and the German Development Corporation (GIZ), proposed the Seven Sisters Water Transfer Line to solve a critical water deficit facing communities in southeastern Grenada. This intervention aims to augment the water supply, which currently experiences shortages during the dry season, particularly…

Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) has long been a priority for the National Water and Sewerage Authority (NAWASA), Grenada’s sole water utility. With a dual mandate to provide safe, reliable water to its users and to safeguard the well-being of its employees, NAWASA has steadily advanced its Occupational Safety and Health agenda. These efforts have…

Climate change impacts on the water sector is not an isolated one especially for a small island developing state (SIDS) like Grenada. Therefore, it is imperative that an exchange of the challenges that each country faces is shared with other Caribbean nations. The exchange helps nations to learn from each other what worked well and…
