The African Water and Sanitation Association, like the International Community, is celebrating World Water Day on the theme: "Water for Peace". To mark the occasion, AfWA, with the support of its members, is launching a communication campaign to reaffirm their strong commitment to making universal access to water a reality on the continent. During this week, Managing Directors of the Association's member companies as well as the Executive Director of AfWASA will share their views on the theme of the day, and their commitment to working together to improve access to water for the populations of their countries.

About World Water Day
Every year on March 22, World Water Day raises public awareness and encourages action to tackle the water and sanitation crisis. This annual United Nations celebration is coordinated by UN-Water and orchestrated by one or more of its members and partners working in related fields, including the African Water and Sanitation Association.
The theme of each edition which is suggested in advance by UN-Water, is aligned with the annual publication of the United Nations World Water Development Report, published by UNESCO on behalf of UN-Water as part of UNESCO's World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP).
In 2024, the theme of World Water Day is "Water for Peace", and the World Water Development Report is entitled "Water for Peace and Prosperity".The World Water Day campaign is simply entitled "Water for Peace".
