Many good points from the Chief Director!!

Engineer welcome

Very good points from Madam Nchedi.

Africa must have the muscle to accelerate action on PIDA and AIP towards achieving SDG 6

(RCTWS) is a governmental organization that belongs to the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation (MWRI)/Egypt

Greetings and great points from Ms Nchedi on the need to ensure political buy in of our programs

Great

Prof. Krhoda hit the nail on the head, fragility and inadequate funding has a devastating effect on WASH.

Prof Krhoda, is very correct, the African Countries are not at the same level, hence it is important to share Best Practices and why we need Financial and investment enhancement and booster, which is what AIP seeks to achieve.

Disasters impact on available funding

but we can take some lessons, to overcome. Political win is one

political will is one

True Azzika, Political will and cooperation between Member States is very key, once we achieve that implementation will happen at all levels.

COVID 19 exposed us all on our vulnerability , particularly on WASH

The varying levels of IWRM adoption across the continent in the face of sometimes weak co-management instruments, and financing challenges actually calls for intentional investment accelerators and frameworks. PIDA, AIP, et al:

Exactly, thank you Director Paul for highlighting this

this investment must also benefit youth women, in all projects that PIDA, AIP would tender out for construction. we need to capacitate women and youth constructors.

Hon. Bai Mass welcome

we are pleased to have you join this forum

Corruption and diabolical governance- that’s the bane of development in the African continent. Solve that and all these problems will disappear although I’m aware this is easier said than done!

Wise words, Ms Lindiwe. The viability of any sector investment plans depends very much on how Africa taps into her greatest resource that is the youth population, and promoting equity.

Great input Nchedi and Lindiwe

capacity building development also the key facing the challenges in Africa and quickly accelerate the SDG6 also promote and focus on the five categories (Finance, Data and Information, Capacity Development, Innovation, Governance )

Most grateful for you joining, from the Ministry of Ecological Transition from Spain.

Eng. Hamed, I agree. There are innovations that are required rather than business as usual approach adopted by member states.

What needed is political will how many countries have made the baseline regarding SDG6... What needed is investment

Data gap is the greatest challenge resulting in erroneous feasibilities and resultantly, designs

The very fact that Africa is off track towards the SDGs calls for even greater re-engagements and a dynamic enabling environment. Intentional investment frameworks are needed, ie the newly launched AfDB Water & Sanitation Policy. Perhaps a time to rethink the Africa Water Vision 2025 as a catalyser and a magnet for the much needed technical and financial re-engineering

two pillars of building inclusive knowledge societies. This will contribute to ensuring development : governance and transparency, in line with African Union Aspiration

Institutional capacity is mainly the cause of the data gap as there is no one to document or they have no tools and equipments.

Lets assist Mr moderator with time management as Speakers, It is cut Excellencies and Distinguished Speakers, otherwise the time will temper with our plans as Steering Committee...Thanks and hope you take it in good spirit.

Very much agreed to the data gap as a major challenge in ensuring an all inclusive and multi-sectoral planning regime

Good afternoon everyone. I am Dr OO Yaya, Director of Regional Centre for Integrated River Basin Management (RC-IRBM), a Category 2 Centre under the auspices of UNESCO in Kaduna Nigeria. I am delighted to participate in this meeting as an observer. I wish you all well. Please stay safe.

Thanks Dr OO Yaya, we look forward to your inputs during Q&A.

Thanks for the explicit explanation of the ling and the objectives of he Water Dialoque for Results and The Water Decade including the Planning towards 2023.

Congratulations FAWZI. Great presentation

We are most grateful to Mr. Mohammed for these eye openers from the River basin, Senegal

Merci Mamadou j’espère que tout va bien pour toi

Are we going to get the slides

Please send a mail to sdg6-bonn21@giz.de if you are interested in receiving the slides. Thank you.

Why is the GW projection increasing while the surface water is decreasing? Any explanations?

email. yameogojulius @gmail.com pour les présentations des échanges car ma connexion n'est pas bonne du tout.merci.

Prof. Adebayo your question has been passed to the panellists

j aimerais recevoir les presentations

chadhouliati des comores

Is it true that expansion of water for irrigation will give value to water and consequently lead to its prudent use and management?

Good question on GW vs surface water projections. Well, this is first a pointer that groundwater space is getting more attention and therefore the scientific reader has to better understand it’s spread and availability, but also perhaps an indication of the many anthropogenic and climatic challenges facing the surface water, including intensified use and climate change impact

Veuillez envoyer un e-mail a sdg6-bonn21@giz.de avec une demande de reception des diapositives. Merci!

Regarding the question, Why is the GW projection increasing while the surface water is decreasing? There are a couple of a number of explanations. First of all, there are increase use of groundwater for domestic uses in rural communities while the hitherto urban areas that do rely on public water supply from dams and reservoirs are also increasingly turning to using groundwater sources inform of boreholes due to failing public supply. In addition, there are increasing use of groundwater also for small holders and medium agricultural irrigation systems for food production. Thus more and more attentions are towards groundwater. All these can be attributed to the resilience of groundwater to climate change impacts, ease of access in rural communities, readily available quality wise without or with minimal treatment unlike surface water etc.

What need to be addressed is assessment of the ground water resource before directly assuming its presence.

Among all the best practices highlighted by the experts, I will appreciate that Africa begins to call to mind the need to strengthening intra-sectoral Knowledge Management and Use. This idea was committed to by Heads of States and Governments during the Sharm el-Sheikh ordinary session of the AU log ago in 2008.Thinking in this direction will help the continent develop a backbone for future smartness; drive a lot of anticipatory leadership and management in the sector's segments, and substantiate Africa's possible efforts toward strategic foresight.During the emergence of the COVID 19 pandemic, it was clear that many countries were not ready for the uncertainty. We must think ahead and prepare for uncertain changes and be sure that we are learning the lessons we are supposed to know and using what we are learning.

Also, the lessons we learn while implementing several programmes in the sector should be integrated into our schools and higher institutions if we must be ready to meet our water goals in the continent.

I think his session shows that Africa has great Technical People who will contribute to the upcoming WWW will be hosted by Senegal, and I hope Member States and relevant organizations will rally behind them,

Of course, there is the need to addressed the assessment of the ground water resource. That is why the emphasise AMCOW is stressing is about capacity building in data generation and management relating to groundwater resources assessment. Without adequate capacity in groundwater assessment and useage monitoring, there cannot be sustainable utilization and management of groundwater in Africa.

Thanks to the leadership of Mr Sene
