The Symposia have been held annually in the Eastern and Southern African regions for the past 20 years to promote interaction among policymakers, academics, practitioners from water and related sectors, and cooperating partners. Together, they identify regional issues, gaps and priorities that require further research and support. Great emphasis will be placed on integration of knowledge, particularly involving scholars from the natural and social sciences.

The sub-themes of the symposium have been aligned to the themes of the SADC Water Research Agenda under the Regional Strategic Action Plan on Integrated Water Resources Development and Management Phase IV, whose main objective is:

  • Promoting evidence-based implementation of SADC water programmes and projects through multi- and inter-disciplinary research, and synthesis of existing and new information, which will lead to a realisation of SADC developmental goal30

The BRECCIA Session on Upscaling Sustainable Food and Water Security Research in Drylands of Sub-Saharan Africa will be held on Wednesday, 28, October 2020, 1400 hrs to 1600 hrs (South Africa)/1200 hrs to 1400 hrs (UK)/

]]> Members from WEF Nexus in Africa consortium participated in a recent Water Innovations Lab Global (WIL Global 2020), a program designed and delivered by Canadian non-profit, Waterlution. Waterlution provides young adults, across 5 continents, an exceptional training and leadership skill-building opportunity to collaborate around two overarching themes, Coastal Community Resilience and Water Energy Food Nexus. Sixteen WILs have been completed to date, with over 1500 youth and young leaders trained across 5 continents. WILs have taken place in Canada, India, Portugal, Scotland, the Netherlands, Mexico, Lebanon, Australia and Brazil, Due to COVOD-19 WIL Global 2020 expanded to a virtual 6 month leadership program this year. It allowed for greater inclusion of global participants. This year it had 93 participants, from 21 countries, including a number from Africa. WEF Nexus members discussed their projects and provided their expertise and facilitated discussions amongst the participants to deepen their experience with the WWF nexus concept. Students in the course will consider WEF nexus approaches in their chosen scenario plans and innovation projects. In November, the teams will present their final projects to the entire WIL Global 2020 community, which will tie in all the topics that they learned throughout the program. In the final sessions, all teams will be encouraged to submit the final projects for SEED Grants. Next year Waterlution k=hiles to joining with Waternet to host a WinterSchool/WIL Southern Africa.
