Historically, over 1000 participants from Africa and beyond participate in the Africa Water Week. This includes Ministers and representatives responsible for water affairs in Africa; development partners; civil society organisations and lake and river basin organisation to contribute to identifying practical solutions for advancing successes in the water sector.
