Casa Africa and the United Nations Office to Support the International Decade for Action ‘Water for Life’ 2005-2015 (UNO-IDfA) are co-organizing the International Meeting on Water and Cooperation in Africa.
The main objective of the meeting is to reinforce cooperation tools and mechanisms that will strengthen the capacities of African countries to achieve the Millennium Development target for water and sanitation.
The meeting aims to:
- exchange views on the role of international cooperation in the water governance field in Africa
- identify and evaluate existing coordination, information exchange and monitoring mechanisms;
- identify gaps and key obstacles impeding the achievement of water and sanitation targets in the African region;
- examine actions implemented by cooperating actors on non-covered needs in the areas of water governance, water supply and sanitation in Africa; and
- better orient cooperation efforts in order to maximize their effectiveness in the water and sanitation fields.
The meeting will focus on those African countries that feature in the Africa Plan for 2009-2012 of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs Cooperation (MAEC): Angola, Cape Verde, Ethiopia, the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia and Senegal.
