Dear Wurie MT Barrie,

Thank you for reaching out.

There is no particular individual or organisation representing each African region but the coordinator and co-coordinator are working together with everyone in the various regions at this point.

Thanks very much for the sharing and also thanks to the presenters and their presentation. 

Having listened i came to the realization and generality of the word "women" and "youth". It clear across Africa, Sub-Sahara Africa, Asia most of the "women" that going through this water spell are "uneducated or illiterate". The inclusion and recognition has to start from them.

Polices are developed day in day out with less consideration of illiterate women involvement including those with disability.

It make no sense to bring out innovation that rural illiterate women that walk miles to fetch water, doing household chose and engage in agriculture are not recognise.

The issue of multilateral or donor organization focusing is providing funding to international organization of their own kind is not helping addressing to achieve water and sanitation and by extension the Africa Union and other African regional blocks needs to focus on data gathering and dissemination and hold African members states to account.

National, youth, civil society organizations needs the funding to drive data collection and engaging and recognising the contribution of illiterate women/girls, youths, persons with disability and children.
