7th Rural Water Supply Network (RWSN) Forum, Abidjan, Côte D’Ivoire

Published on: 15/02/2016

The RWSN Forum is the foremost global event on rural water services and takes place every 5 years. Some 650 participants from all over the world are expected at the 2016 event, which is in English and French.

With the title, Water for Everyone, the Forum will explore how we are going to reach Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in rural areas and small towns. What has worked well in the past? What needs to be done differently in the future?

The participants are mainly rural water supply professionals and practitioners. Where political leaders participate, they are encouraged to engage in the sessions and exhibition as equals with the other participants.

Forum discussions will be based on submitted papers, posters, illustrations and short films, entered around the following themes:

  • Sustainable Rural Water and Small Town Water Supplies;
  • Equality, non-discrimination and inclusion;
  • Sustainable Groundwater Development;
  • Accelerating Self Supply;
  • Mapping and Monitoring;
  • Rural Water Supplies in the Humanitarian – Development Context;
