The 8th Africa Water Week (AWW8) and the 6th AfricaSan are being jointly organized this year as a virtual conference. Joined together as the Africa Water and Sanitation Week (AWSW), the conference is convened by the African Ministers’ Council on Water (AMCOW) in conjunction with the African Union Commission and organized with other development partners.

The Africa Water Week and AfricaSan are AMCOW’s flagship water and sanitation events and represent a political commitment at the highest level. They are institutionalized platforms to discuss and collectively seek solutions to Africa’s water and sanitation challenges.
