The running out end of the year 2012 appears as a right time to make the annual assessment of activities carried out within our organization for the professional capacity building of our members.

As the new President Duduzile Myeni highly put it in her closing remarks of our 16th Congress, “I will carry it and let it flow as Water's flow, to ensure that, ultimately, it charters economic development in Africa”, AfWA adopted an ambitious roadmap.

Thanks to the partnership with Further Advancing the Blue Revolution Initiative (FABRI), AfWA has implemented a programme to equip our water utilities in order to face challenges relating to Non Revenue Water (NRW).

This programme entered its active phase further to the Nairobi (June) and Ouagadougou (November) workshops and the diagnosis visits carried out in some water utilities. TheTask Forcemade up for this programme has been working hard ever since and within a few years; we should be able to have our own Non Revenue Water (NRW) specialists.

With regard to Communications and Knowledge Sharing, we were not short of work either. Following a workshop held in Conakry devoted to this essential set of themes for the performance of our members, we have also set up a Task Forceand working groups which have been thinking to the design and development of a communications strategies which match up to our expectations and our development strategic goals.

Our Scientific and Technical Council (STC) fully played its partition by leading with rigor and relevance its two annual meetings (Durban and Conakry) during which, the scientific and technical format of the 17th Congress was elaborate, as well as the setting up of Task Forcesin several priority areas for our members.

We also undertook to secure relief by implementing the big project relating to the Young Water Professionals with the support of FABRI. In a prospective vision, AfWA wants to conceive a support and integration strategy of the Young Water Professionals so that the handing over chain regarding the legacy of our pioneers does not stop.

We are performing the task, assured that the Young Water Professionals are eager to take over.

Happy New Year 2013.
