Kampala WASH Symposium (20 - 23 June 2016)
The WASH Sustainability Forum will look beyond the
conventional notion of “projects” to explore how WASH
actors can and should work together within the wider
complex system that deliver services and discuss how to
drive whole-system change that supports the building of
robust national systems.
In 2016 World Water Week will focus on “Water and
Sustainable Growth”.
Experts, practitioners, decision-makers, business
innovators and young professionals from a range of
sectors and countries come to Stockholm to network,
exchange ideas, foster new thinking and develop solutions
to the most pressing water-related challenges of today.
We believe water is key to our future prosperity, and that
together, we can achieve a water wise world.

The first under the SDG era, it has as its theme “Achieving
the SDGs on Water Security and Sanitation”. The
choice of the theme is driven by the recognition of the
importance of laying the building blocks for Africa to
achieve the SDG 6 as well as other inter-linking SDGs
connected with water resources management and
improved sanitation service delivery. It also represents
the quest in the continent to place emphasis on matching
commitments and plans with concrete actions with impact
on the ground. It highlights Africa’s undaunted focus to
achieving the Agenda 2063, the continent’s global strategy
to optimize use of Africa’s resources for the overall
benefit of all.
