Distinguished delegates and other invited participants.
It is an honour to welcome you all to the 6th African Regional Conference with the theme ‘’Tackling Irrigation Development and Water Management Crisis in Africa’’. As the Chairman of the African Regional Working Group, I am humbled to stand before you today amidst such distinguished delegates and experts in the field.
Africa faces unprecedented challenges when it comes to irrigation development and water management. With a rapidly growing population, changing climatic conditions, and increasing water scarcity, the needs for sustainable solution has never been more urgent.
Throughout this conference, we have the opportunity to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and collaborate on innovative strategies to address these pressing issues. Together, we can work towards ensuring access to clean water for all, enhancing food security, and promoting economic growth and development across the continent.
I urge each of you to actively participate in the discussions, engage with fellow delegates, and contribute your expertise towards finding actionable solutions. Let us harness the power of collective action to overcome the challenges we face and pave the way for a brighter future for Africa.
Thank you
Dr. Mohamed Wahba
