The municipalities want to work together in partnership to develop concrete solutions for their daily tasks. One of the central tasks of municipalities worldwide is the supply of drinking water. The realisation of this central task is often not a matter of course, but a challenge that municipalities must solve. Global warming, which causes climate change, makes it even more complex to reliably supply citizens with high-quality drinking water. Depending on where the municipalities are located geographically, the reality of the water issue is different, as natural water resources vary greatly. On the other hand, the question of a good and reliable water supply infrastructure plays a decisive role. This is where the municipal partnership projects come in. Many municipalities work with their own companies, others co-operate with private service providers to manage water management tasks.

At the event, we will use specific examples from German-African municipal partnerships to demonstrate

• how the topic of drinking water can be addressed in municipal partnership projects,
• which cooperation partners can be considered
• what challenges there may be and how these were dealt with.

We have planned the presentation of two to three examples. Afterwards, there will be sufficient time for a joint exchange.

The event will take place on 11 September 2024 from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. (CET).

It will be virtual via the Zoom platform and simultaneously interpreted German-English-French.

You will receive a programme and an access link after successful registration in a timely manner before the start of the event.

The event is organised by the operator platform together with the SKEW's "Municipal Climate Partnerships" project.
