AfWA`s - Global Water Partnership

Transcription

On behalf the Moroccan Association of Potable Water and Sanitation (AMEPA) and the
organizing committee of the 16th AFWA International Congress, I wish all participants a warm
welcome to Marrakech, which is particularly proud to be once again the host city of a large
gathering of water and sanitation professionals, having hosted already the 1st world Water
Forum in 1997 and the 4th international Water Association Congress (IWA) in 2004.
AMEPA, which counts among its members, the producers, the suppliers, public as well as
private, industries and engineering companies, has as such, a very rich experience on a
national level that it will use in the organization of this event. Among the key successful
events organized by AMEPA is the 8th Congress of AfWA in Casablanca in 1998.

the largest number of exchanges on the occasion of this 16th international Water Congress. We
deeply wish that the debates during the congress will end up proposing suitable solutions to
meet the immense challenges of our continent in the water and sanitation sector and invite
you to participate in it massively.
The African Water Association (AfWA) is pleased to announce its 16th International Water and
Sanitation Congress that will take place in Marrakech, Morocco, from 20 to 23 February 2011.
The theme of this congress is:
“Collaborative mechanisms and innovations for sustainable development of water and
sanitation sector in Africa”.
MAMADOU DIA
AFWA President
The theme was developed, as a logical follow up of the 15th Congress that took place in
Kampala, Uganda in March 2010. The congress will involve a number of technical sessions,
workshops, side events, exhibitions and a host of other networking possibilities.
We expect participants from all parts of the world, who are involved in development issues
relating to the water and sanitation sector, mostly in developing countries. The planning of
the congress is good and will result into great value to all congress delegates. In addition,
the congress venue is a renowned tourist destination, offering a variety of recreation
and sight-seeing possibilities. You are all welcome to contribute to the preparation of a
successful 16th AfWA Congress.

Challenges of the water sector in Africa
According to a recent evaluation of the United Nations Environment Program
(UNEP) and UN Habitat, the urban areas in Africa are growing much faster than
the rest of the world and are facing huge challenges in terms of water supply
and access to sanitation services.
Today, 40 % of Africans, that is 400 million persons, live in urban zones, and
60 % of them in shanty towns, where sanitation and drinking water supply are
inadequate.
20 - 23 February 2012
Palais des Congrès
The UNEP report, published on the occasion of the World Water Day, stipulated
that in 2008, 55 million African citizen have no access to the drinking water,
against 30 millions in 1990. And 175 millions do not benefit from sanitation
services, against half in 1990.
The 16th African Water Association Congress and Exhibition will gather in
Marrakech from 20 to 23 February 2012 professionals in the drinking water and
sanitation sectors from all African countries , as well as major donors , scientific
community, elected officials and members of civil society, to discuss issues
raised by these vital services for populations and essential to the economic
development of the continent.

Organizers
AfWA: African Water Association: The main organizer
20 - 23 February 2012
Palais des Congrès
Is a professional (not-for-profit) association of establishments, enterprise or utilities operating in the
areas of drinking water sanitation and environment, in the whole of Africa. It was formed in 1980
(when it was originally known as Union of Africa Water Suppliers-UAWS).
It was later transformed to AfWA in April 2003 to better position it to accommodate regulatory,
operating and asset holding companies created in the 1990s as part of sector institutional reforms,
private service providers, NGOs, researchers and individual sector professionals spanning across
academia, research and policy. AFWA currently has over 100 institutional members from some 40
countries across Africa. A core mandate of AfWA is to develop professional capacity of its members
in water and sanitation utilities management to significantly contribute to improved access to
service across the continent. This is achieved through technical workshops, peer-to-peer learning
partnership, scientific and technical council meetings and congresses. The Marrakech congress is the
16th in the series of biennial congresses conducted since the inception of the association.
AMEPA: Association Marocaine de l’Eau Potable et de l’Assainissement
Founded in 1997 by public and private operators in the Water supply and Sanitation sector in Morocco
(Producers, Suppliers, Industries and Consultancy Offices) in order to meet the future challenges and
defend the interests of the sector. The AMEPA is intended to be:
- A platform for exchange and experience capitalization;
- A support for its members;
- A reference for the sector; o An information center; o A think-tank on the sector’s organization.
ONEP: Office National de l’Eau Potable
The National Office for Potable Water (ONEP), founded in 1972, is a Moroccan public company with
an industrial and commercial vocation, endowed with civil status and financial autonomy, and works
under the umbrella of the ministry of Energy, Mines, Water and Environment. ONEP is in charge of
drinking water supply planning at the national scale. As the first national producer of drinking water,
ONEP produces 900 million m3 that is more than 83% of the overall national production. It also covers
all the needs in terms of drinking water throughout Morocco, both in the major cities and small towns
as well as in rural areas whose coverage rate has attained 91% in 2010. By providing water services
to over 1,425, 000 customers in more than 560 medium and small towns, ONEP is the first distributor
of drinking water. Furthermore, since the year 2000, it has been in charge of waste water collection
and treatment and the management of sanitation facilities. ONEP is also in charge of water quality
control via 57 regional laboratories.
ONEP has fixed its strategy around three main axes which are:
1. Perpetuating and securing existing urban facilities,
2. Spreading to a full scale water supply in rural areas, and
3. Getting actively involved in the area of liquid waste sanitation. ONEP has decided to dynamise
its intervention in these 3 fields by setting ambitious programs and establishing large scale
projects.
