Theme: Water in Africa: persisting challenges, sustainable solutions, and governance dimensions

Water in Africa faces a critical crisis, with approximately 387 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa lacking basic water access. This challenge is heightened by rapid urbanization, climate change, and weak infrastructure. Today’s discussions should focus on sustainable solutions: innovative technologies and approaches aimed at improving sanitation, accelerating investments in water supplies, and overcoming mismanagement and corruption.
