Water and Sanitation for Life: Harnessing Water…

The High-Level Policy Dialogue (HLPD), brings together policymakers from African member states to consolidate recommendations into a Call To Action (CTA) aligned with SDG 6 and the goals and aspirations of Agenda 2063. The dialogue will link the ADS to ongoing initiatives, including the twelfth Africa Forum for Sustainable Development (ARFSD-12), the Fourth Dushanbe Water Action Decade Conference, the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) of the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), and the Second UN Water Conference.

The Africa Dialogue Series 2026 is organized by the United Nations Office of the Special Adviser on Africa (OSAA) and the African Union Permanent Observer Mission to the United Nations (AUPOM), in partnership with the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), the UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), UN Habitat, the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the Institute for Security Studies (ISS).
