Opening Statement by Abdoulie Janneh, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the 5th Annual Conference of UN Water Africa. Mr. Janneh, on his remarks highlighted that, “Water is endangered and with it, so are we. The situation is unacceptable. Unacceptable is the lack of water or it’s poor quality, which last year, caused ten times more deaths than all the wars waged on the planet together.” Security of water should therefore be seen to encompass its role as an instrument for social investment, a factor of production, and for mitigating economic and human losses. It is against this background that this group should be commended for its role in the development and advocacy of the African Water Vision 2025. Africa’s collective capacity to cope, and more importantly, adapt to the challenges in these areas will depend almost entirely on how we cooperate as sub-regions, countries, communities and individuals to manage our water resources at all levels to attain water security in all its ramifications.
