On the ground in #Dakar 🇸🇳 the @GimacNetwork team continues its advocacy work at the @NGOForum & @ACHPR meetings. With #WASH as a key priority theme, we are actively engaging stakeholders to ensure gender perspectives are integrated across all discussions and outcomes. Girls' and women's experiences must remain central to policy dialogue, advocacy efforts, and community action.
Advocacy that listens! Advocacy that influences!

One girl with courage is a revolution. #Storytelling #GirlsFirstSummit
We opened with Girl Hour — practitioners in conversation with girls. Not to teach. To listen. One of the most powerful parts of the whole day.

What does Africa need to secure sustainable water and safe sanitation for everyone?!
The answer goes far beyond pipes, pumps and treatment plants.
#Water and #sanitation are connected to #energy, #agriculture, #publichealth, climate resilience, ecosystems, financing, #governance, #peace and #security, and the realities communities face every day.
That’s why the ECOSOCC Infrastructure & Energy Sectoral Cluster Committee, in collaboration with the Political Affairs Cluster, is convening a two-session webinar series on the 2026 AU Theme of the Year:
“Assuring Sustainable Water Availability and Safe Sanitation Systems to Achieve the Goals of #Agenda2063.”
SESSION 1 | 3 SEPTEMBER 2026: zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_…
Ground Realities, Water Governance and Territorial Inequalities
We’ll look at Africa’s current water and sanitation realities, including infrastructure and energy gaps, #climate pressures, public health, water governance, transboundary challenges and community experiences.
SESSION 2 | 15 OCTOBER 2026: zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_…
Integrated Solutions, Water Diplomacy and Policy Recommendations
The second session will focus on practical responses, including resilient infrastructure, financing, wastewater reuse, ecosystem protection, decentralized systems, water diplomacy, governance and civil society participation.
🕐 13:00 UTC | 15:00 CAT | 16:00 EAT
💻 Virtual
The sessions will bring together ECOSOCC members, Cluster Chairs, African and international experts, practitioners, civil society representatives and invited speakers.
