SHARE WATER Issue 12

This twelfth issue of AfWA Technical Journal addresses water security and the mechanisms/technologies to implement for universal access to water and sanitation for African populations, including a case study of the NGO Eau et Vie in Abidjan over the five years of intervention from 2016 to 2021. This study explains how to activate institutional and technical levers to enable vulnerable populations in disadvantaged neighbourhoods to have access to drinking water at lower connection costs. This innovative approach could help reduce unbilled water while giving economically weak populations back their dignity. A success story from the Chairperson of the Kenya Professional Women’s WASH Network, Dr. Leunita SUMBA, PhD on her commitment to women’s leadership and gender is also highlighted in this issue.
