Speak Up Africa, a Policy and Advocacy Action Tank, and the African Water Association (AfWA), a continent-wide platform that brings together organisations in the water and sanitation sector, are pleased to announce a formal partnership. This partnership will support the implementation of the African Water Vision for 2025 and promote knowledge sharing on the African water and sanitation sector.

The two organisations signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the margins of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Water, Sanitation & Hygiene partners meeting in Lusaka, Zambia last month.

Through close collaboration, this agreement will see both partners further engage key stakeholders on issues in the water and sanitation sector. Furthermore, AfWA and Speak Up Africa will align their activities by sharing expertise and communication resources for even greater impact.
