This research paper compares water policies and management in the United States and Africa, aiming to provide insights, challenges, and recommendations for global water governance. The USA has well-established institutions and regulatory frameworks, while Africa faces complex governance challenges. The paper highlights the need for context-specific solutions, emphasizing governance, stakeholder engagement, and climate resilience. It proposes international collaboration, knowledge exchange, and capacity-building initiatives. The USA and Africa each face unique challenges, including water scarcity, infrastructure gaps, and climate change impacts. The USA has advanced infrastructure and policies, but faces disparities in access and aging systems. Africa struggles with water scarcity, infrastructure, and governance, requiring tailored solutions. The paper recommends enhancing collaboration, improving infrastructure, and integrating climate considerations into water management. It emphasizes the importance of inclusive decision-making, community involvement, and sustainable practices. The study contributes to a global understanding of water governance, offering lessons for policymakers and stakeholders. The comparative analysis underscores the need for adaptive, inclusive, and resilient water policies to ensure sustainable water futures.This research paper compares water policies and management in the United States and Africa, aiming to provide insights, challenges, and recommendations for global water governance.
