African Ministers' Council on Water (AMCOW)

AMCOW Showcases at the 4th African Union Pan African Youth Conference! We were thrilled to exhibit our work on #youth and #gender at the recent AU Pan African Youth Conference, where young leaders from across Africa engaged with our team and learned more about AMCOW's efforts. The enthusiasm and keen interest shown in AMCOW’s initiatives were motivating! One of the highlights was the active curiosity around the implementation of our #YoGIStrategy—an approach aimed at empowering youth involvement in the sustainable management of water resources and sustainable sanitation. The dynamic discussions and insightful questions from these future leaders reaffirmed that the next generation is ready to drive forward Africa’s water and sanitation agenda. We are excited about the future and look forward to nurturing these connections going forward for Africa's socio-economic development. #AMCOW #YouthEngagement #SustainableWaterManagement #YoGIStrategy #AUYouthConference Emmanuel Uguru
