Title
UNEP - Africa Water Atlas
Abstract
It has been ten years since the Millennium
Declaration and as this Atlas makes evident, signifi cant
progress has been made in the water sector in Africa, but
a lot more remains to be done. It also shows that although
there has been important cross-border and sub-regional
dialogue and cooperation, a dearth of scientifi c data and
information impedes eff orts to manage water issues
better. Therefore, this Africa Water Atlas has been wisely
and skilfully packaged to trigger continuous debate and
dialogue to defi ne an agenda for discussions and strategy
planning among ordinary citizens and between water
experts within countries and across national borders.
This Africa Water Atlas vividly illustrates the
importance of Africa’s water resources in supplying
millions of people with life-giving water and in supporting
activities that are crucial to our ecosystems and
economies. I encourage every leader and policy maker
in Africa to open these pages, and not only marvel at the
images, but take stock of important messages it has to
off er that will help Africa move faster towards the MDG
water targets and secure a better future for our children
and generations to come.
