UN Office of the Special Adviser on Africa 38d ago

The third and final webinar of the Africa Dialogue Series (ADS) 2026 discussed the sub-theme: Water and Sanitation for Peace, Energy, and Food Security. The webinar examined how persistent deficits in safely managed water and sanitation services undermine productivity, exacerbate fragility, constrain energy and food systems, and can potentially amplify conflict risks, particularly under accelerating climate change. It took a deep dive into this crucial topic and explored how water and sanitation can be catalysts for Africa's stability, resilience, and shared prosperity.
