What It Means to Be a WSA Speaker

Water is life yet, across Africa, access to clean, reliable water is under threat. Climate change, urban growth, and industrial demand push systems to the brink. At Water Security Africa, our speakers are leaders, problem-solvers, and innovators. They are policymakers,  engineers, scientists, and industry pioneers working at the cutting edge of water management. They bring hard facts, real stories, and bold ideas. They don’t deal in theory. They bring action. Let’s meet the people who are setting the precedent.
