Africa Water Vision and Policy 2063
-
This week, I had the privilege of attending the Third Pan-African Implementation and Partnership Conference on Water (PANAFCON-3) where the Africa Water Vision was being discussed. Water is life. Yet far too many across our continent still live without access to safe water or adequate sanitation. I believe the water vision is a timely opportunity to recommit to collective action to deliver sustainable, inclusive water and sanitation services for all Africans. We cannot overstate the urgency. Access to water and sanitation underpins everything, from health and education to food security, gender equality, climate resilience, and economic development. It’s high time African governments mainstreamed natural resources as part of their development plans. Realizing that the SDG6 is linked to the achievement of all the other SDGs is key. We need to move from vision to action in line with the AU Agenda 2063.

GULE Thandile Tanzile,Eswatini,CFND It's an existential question that you raise here. Especially since it's a paradox when you consider that African countries are very rich in natural resources.
