Road to UN Water Conference 2026 | Productive Water, Entrepreneurship & Agricultural Foresight — Africa 21 Broadcast Series (Session 3)

Ahead of the UN Water Conference (8–10 December 2026, Abu Dhabi), the Africa 21 Association is launching a special series of six broadcasts dedicated to water issues in Africa, reaching 1,200+ journalists across 47 African countries through the Network of African Journalists Specialized in Sustainable Development and Climate Change.

The ambition: equip journalists with the knowledge, data and contacts to produce content that is accessible, rigorous and useful to African audiences.

The Geneva Water Hub is proud to contribute by linking the discussions to the recommendations of our Policy Brief "Flowing Towards Peace".
