Lisa Mitchell at the 22nd AfWASA Congress
đź“Ť Kampala, Uganda
Global Water Center was honored to be invited by the Danish Embassy to participate in a panel discussion at the AfWASA Congress and Exhibition. Our Senior Director of Learning Services, Lisa Mitchell, joined experts from other organizations to explore how stronger public private partnerships can drive sustainable water solutions.
The discussion was dynamic, covering case studies, innovative funding models, and the critical role of training in ensuring long-term water system success. Lisa emphasized that while infrastructure is essential, technical training and local expertise are what truly make water systems sustainable. Without skilled professionals to maintain and operate them, even the best-designed projects risk failure.
By fostering collaboration, sharing expertise, and strengthening partnerships, we can accelerate progress toward safely managed water for all.
Thank you, Lisa, for representing Global Water Center and helping to shape the future of sustainable water solutions!
