A major international exhibition will showcase know-how, technologies and major innovations in water, sanitation and the environment.
It will be an opportunity to bring together users, researchers, scientists and suppliers of products and services. Faced with new challenges, the world of water must resolutely rely on technological innovations to better meet the expectations of populations.
The classic Exhibition (Expo/Fair), the Path of responses, the African Village and the Sanitation Village are the main Exhibitions of the Forum. To this must be added the "Espace Sénégal", which will be the largest exhibition space.
- Classic Exhibition (Expo/Fair)
The Expo/Fair will be a showcase for the issues and challenges related to water and sanitation. It will also showcase know-how, technologies and major innovations in water, sanitation and the environment.
It will also be an important opportunity to bring together the different actors in the chain (researchers, scientists, manufacturers, product and service providers, users, etc.) and to make visible the solutions and responses to water and sanitation issues. It is also an opportunity for sponsors and partners to make themselves visible.
- The Path of responses
The "Path of responses" will be a space dedicated to the exhibition of the most adapted responses to the problems of water and sanitation, throughout the world, at the technological, technical, institutional and financial levels, as well as at the level of legal, political and economic governance, etc.
In the "Path of responses", projects labelled "Dakar 2022 Initiative" will be exhibited, as well as other projects relevant to the Forum's priorities, having a strong impact on populations and allowing the acceleration of the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- African Village
One of the innovations of the Forum, the "African Village", will be an exhibition space, a framework for awareness raising, information and exchanges on the concerns, issues and challenges related to water issues in Africa, and the specific responses to the problems of access to water over time.
It will also be a space for sharing experiences on good practices and innovations, but also a space for discussions to promote water security in Africa in order to meet the different objectives of the agendas.
The design of the village will be inspired by the cultural and territorial particularities that emerged from the different proposals expected from the different geographical areas of the continent (North Africa, Southern Africa, West Africa, East Africa, and Central Africa), in addition to the physical spaces dedicated to certain social groups.
- Sanitation Village
The Forum intends to highlight, over time, the issues and challenges of sanitation as well as the institutional, technological, technical, scientific and cultural responses to sanitation through a dedicated exhibition, called "Sanitation Village".
This major innovation, which will integrate a cultural dimension, will be a space for the expression of the "Forum of responses", for dialogue, awareness raising, learning and promotion of current innovations and technologies in the field of sanitation and hygiene. The Village will also take into account the different risks (health, environmental) that need to be managed but also the valorisation of waste as a resource.
- Espace Sénégal
The Senegalese exhibition space or "Espace Sénégal" will be a showcase for the achievements, know-how, responses, innovations, technologies, projects and perspectives of the Government, and the professions of the water, sanitation and hygiene actors, but also a place for the promotion of the country in its multiple facets.
