Africa Water Forum 2023 | GM Events | 1 October 2023 | TBA, Rabat, Morocco

The forum provides an empowering platform where ministries, government authorities, consultants, solutions providers and resellers collectively identify and solve pressing water-related challenges in Africa, using the most innovative and sustainable technologies and techniques.

The African region is facing multi-dimensional water challenges which can lead to massive health issues, food insecurity, poverty, imbalance in the ecosystem, human conflicts, and mass migration.

On the other hand, water trends in the region also suggest that there is potentially adequate water and means to meet the basic needs of the region and sustain ecosystems if planned for and managed properly and with priority. This creates an overarching need for intervention from local and regional authorities to come forward and collaborate with various water stakeholders across the continent for a better future.
