The African Ministers responsible for water critically examining the global water situation and its implication for Africa in 2002 adopted the "Abuja Ministerial Declaration on Water – a key to Sustainable Development in Africa". This declaration established the African Ministers’ Council on Water (AMCOW). AMCOW is an intergovernmental institution of the African Union. The vision of AMCOW is an Africa where there is an equitable and sustainable use and management of water resources for poverty alleviation, socio-economic development, regional co-operation and the environment.

"Growing, and maximising the impact of urban sanitation investments and services in Africa."

Almost 1 in 2 people globally do not have access to adequate sanitation, can’t safely evacuate or reuse wastewater. The situation in rural settings for the most vulnerable people is even more critical, 2 third of the people globally lacking access to basic sanitation living in rural areas.
Innovating in sanitation chain is a necessity. A necessity to prevent public health issues, environment pollution, to preserve water resources, developing the production of non-conventional water and promote rural development.

The precariousness of hygiene and sanitation services in rural areas around the world, especially in low- and middle-income countries, is striking, especially in Africa where 77% of the population lacks basic sanitation. The implementation of participatory governance is key to meeting this challenge and considering the whole sanitation chain.

The world is alarmingly off-track to deliver universal access to safe sanitation by 2030. Rates of progress need to quadruple to achieve the SDG target and claim the myriad health, environmental and socio-economic benefits that come from safely managed sanitation.
This thematic session with explore the five dimensions of the SDG6 global acceleration framework (GAF) with evidence, actions and successful cases set out in the State of the World Sanitation report.

Action Idea #3 has been divided into three projects: (1) Strengthening the enabling policy environment for safely managed sanitation; (2) Promote wide adoption of sanitation as a utility service and (3) Demonstration of emerging commercial to advance sanitation. Achieving sustainable sanitation requires combined efforts from multiple partners. Sessions under this action idea shall convene government stakeholders, regulators, private sector, and civil society actors.
