Today, the initiative traverses an immense expanse of the African continent with more than thirty countries and multiple organisations involved. Its structure is designed to be comprehensive and inclusive, but has inherent complexities given its mammoth scale. Despite a commitment to good governance, the GGWI has experienced critical implementation and coordination challenges. For the initiative to be carried out successfully, effective implementation will require more transparency, accountability, and increased participation of civil society organisations and the wider community.
