Six takeaways identified by the All Systems Go Africa symposium for accelerating progress in the WASH Agenda across the African continent

This three-day All Systems Go Africa symposium was convened by IRC, in collaboration with UNICEF and the Government of the Republic of Ghana who also hosted the event. Between 19 and 21 October 2022, the event brought together over 250 participants, with delegations from 25 African countries, at the Kempinski Hotel. Participants comprised political leaders, professionals, government officials, academia, NGOs, private sector, donors and regional institutions – including the African Ministers’ Council on Water (AMCOW), the African Development Bank (AfDB), the African Water Association (AfWA), and the African Civil Society Network on Water and Sanitation (ANEW). The symposium examined the lessons learned from the review of progress and the critical changes needed to achieve the water, sanitation and hygiene targets in Africa.
