On Thursday, January 19, 2023, AfWA President Dr. Silver Mugisha convened a joint general meeting to submit for membership approval new AfWA membership categorizations and annual dues.

From now on, municipalities, academic institutions, regulators are integrated into regular members category. This category was initially composed of utilities dealing with production, distribution of water, as well as assets holding companies in the Water, Sanitation and Environment sector in Africa.

Non-governmental organizations, industries, various service providers, and technology consulting firms are also now included in the affiliated members category, initially composed of African or international water, sanitation, and environment companies such as professional associations, and excluding those included in the category of active members.

Finally, two distinct categories of individual members have been established, the students on one side and the university professionals, researchers as well as individual consultants in the other side.

It should be noted that AfWA members are classified into four (4) categories namely regular members, affiliate members, individual members, and honorary members. Honorary members are people who rendered distinguished services to the Association and contributed to building its international reputation.

The Criteria for the Honorary Members category has not been changed.
