The 3rd African Implementation and Partnership Conference (PANAFCON-3) takes place on 27-29 May 2025 in Lusaka, Zambia. PANAFCON-3 will be held in hybrid format.
Theme
As the continent heads towards the expiration of the Africa Water Vision 2025, PANAFCON-3 will provide an opportunity for Member States and stakeholders to consider and discuss proposals for the focus and priorities to inform the development of the post-2025 AWV and policy.
The theme for PANAFCON–3, therefore, aims to ensure that the post-2025 Africa Water Vision and Policy places water and sanitation at the heart of achieving social transformation and economic growth on the continent. In so doing, placing the post-2025 Africa Water Vision and Policy as an implementation framework for achieving Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want. As such, the proposed theme for the Conference will be Assuring inclusive and climate resilient water security and sanitation for the Africa We Want.
