As a reminder, the World Water Council, created in 1996, is the founder and co-organizer of the World Water Forum and catalyzes collective action during and between each Forum
The World Water Forum is the world’s largest water event. It has been organized every three years since 1997 by the World Water Council, in partnership with a host country. The 9th Forum will be the first of its kind to be held in Sub-Saharan Africa.
By bringing together participants from all levels and fields, including politics, multilateral institutions, academia, civil society and the private sector, the World Water Forum provides a unique platform for the international water community and key decision makers to collaborate and make long-term progress on global water challenges.
Over the years, the number of people participating in the Forum has grown from a few hundred to tens of thousands, both from the international community and the host countries.
