Date & Time

October 23, 2024 - October 26, 2024

The proposed Forum is a ‘home grown’ initiative that seeks to provide a sustainable approach to addressing the need for innovation in the water and sanitation sector in the region as well through private sector engagement. Technology and innovation have been prescribed as the strategy to deliver this aspiration as an enabler to efficient water use, which thereby reduces the strain on the utility companies in the country.

This Forum will bring together various stakeholders and provided a platform for them to:

1. Gain an understanding of the policies, programmes, and interventions that the government has in place aimed at fostering positive action in sustainable water management.
2. Showcase various innovations in the Eastern African Region market and the value they create within the water and sanitation sector.
3. Facilitate an exchange between the sources and seekers of capital by offering organizations the opportunity to present, in time-limited segments, their mission, their value proposition, and other relevant information.
4. Give presentations on the available sources of financing, and requirements.
5. Showcase their areas of intervention, for those not directly involved in seeking capital and financing.
6. Create partnerships geared towards sustainable water and sanitation management.
