Partnerships in meeting water demands

Under The International Congress of the African Water Association (AfWA), a scientific and technical forum that takes stock of the development of the water, sanitation and environmental sector in Africa, global water experts converged in Nairobi a few weeks ago.

The theme of the meeting was “sustainable access to water and sanitation in Africa.” As it is now generally accepted, Africa’s economies are growing at five per cent per annum and the emphasis on placing the continent on a higher trajectory in water matters is timely.
