International Conference on Water in Africa (ICWA)

Established to address water challenges in sub-Saharan Africa, ICWA has, for its first ten years, the goal of mobilizing, motivating and moving stakeholders to explore the Prime Place of Water Towards the Successful Delivery of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in Africa. This conference has emerged as the flagship event of the annual World Water Day (March 22) activities of OWHN Africa. ICWA and Workshop on Water Testing in Rural Environments for Disease Control is held annually within the week that World Water Day falls into. The water testing workshop, supported by International Water and Health Alliances (IWHA) is designed to equip participants with both knowledge and skills to train communities on deploying evidence-based Microbiology and water-testing kits as educational tools that demonstrate best practices for identifying safe drinking water.
