The African Ministers’ Council on Water (AMCOW) is committed to adequate and equitable access to water and sanitation that makes a critical contribution to Africa’s progress towards sustainable development. Africa Water Week is a rich source of knowledge to support this work. AMCOW organises reporting services to capture the exchange of knowledge that takes place through the week’s events. The reports are shared here as a learning resource to promote awareness and good practice.
Here you can find daily and wrap-up summary reports from sessions at Africa Water Week 7, prepared by the rapporteurs.
