Water For Africa Projects

Sustainable water supply and sanitation is fundamental to the food security, health, survival, societal well-being and economic growth in Africa. Indeed, developing countries are particularly vulnerable to water-related problems, which are expected to be exacerbated in the future by climate change. In order to better tackle water-related challenges in Africa, the European Union launched in 2015 two dedicated Horizon 2020 calls: Water-5b-2015 “A coordination platform” and Water-5c-2015 “Development of water supply and sanitation technology, systems and tools, and/or methodologies”.

The coordinators of the H2020-WATER-5c-2015 and H2020-WATER-5b-2015 projects which were funded under the same call as WATERSPOUTT at the EBC VII - ISEB 2018 conferences in Chania - Crete.

WATERSPOUTT would like to acknowledge these other project working to improve access to water in Africa:
