1.0 INTRODUCTION Zambia is endowed with vast water resources in the form of rivers, streams, lakes and groundwater. It is actually known as the land of rivers, lakes and waterfalls. As we all know, water plays an important role in improving and meeting the needs of different competing users such as agriculture, hydropower generation, mining, manufacturing and the ecosystem biodiversity. Realizing the importance of water, the Government of the Republic of Zambia undertook the water reforms which have led to a number of achievements including the Water Supply and Sanitation (WSS) Act, 1997, the establishment of the WSS regulator - National Water Supply and Sanitation Council and Eleven Commercial Water Utilities, formulation of the National Water Policy 2010 and enactment of the Water Resources Management Act, 2011. Furthermore, economic and financial instruments have been put in place to champion the planning, development and implementation of the water resources in the country, notable ones include the Fifth and Sixth National Development Plans (2006 -2015), the Integrated Water Resources and Management / Water Efficiency Implementation Plan of 2008, and the Vision 2030. In addition, the water sector has a Water Sector Advisory Group which advices Government on policy and implementation of water plans in the country. Whereas, the development of all these initiatives involved many stakeholders, Zambia still faces a critical challenge of mainstreaming water at the core of development with most of its citizenry unappreciative of the value and role that water plays in economic development. Notwithstanding this, public awareness is a continuous process in achieving a paradigm shift. It was for the above reasons that the “Zambia Water Forum and Exhibition (ZAWAFE)” was born.

WHAT IS ZAWAFE?

ZAWAFE stands for ZAmbia WAter Forum and Exhibition whose main objective is to bring together various national and international stakeholders and experts, to discuss and share best practices on water management and mainstreaming water as a core component of social and economic development. The Forum hopes to ensure that water management mechanisms being implemented are translated into relevancy and public benefit for sustainable social and economic development of the country. Sanitation is a key component of WAter in the acronym of ZAWAFE in a similar manner to other water related socio- and economic sectors of the Zambian economy.

OBJECTIVES The following are the specific objectives: 1. To bring together stakeholders in order to share information and build

networks in the management and use of water through:

4

Keynote speeches; and

Session presentations covering the water sector and related socio -economic sectors of Zambia, including sessions on training and other topical issues such as water and climate change;

2. To exhibit and market various instruments and equipment including publications for assessment, exploration and exploitation of Zambia’s water resources as they contribute to economic development;

3. To catalyze the overall management of water in Zambia develop an information support service for information focusing on national water policy (2010), Water Resources Management Act (2011), SNDP (2011-2015), Vision 2030 and the MDGs;

4. To promote the Water Sector Advisory Group activities and resolutions ; and 5. To undertake visitations to areas of “good water management practices” during

the Forum and Exhibition for appreciation by interested participants. ZAWAFE therefore provides a platform for:

(i) Advancement of happenings in the water sector through sharing of data and information on best practices in water management (WM) for sustainable social and economic development;

(ii) Exhibiting organisational services and products to encourage research, development, technology transfer and innovation;

(iii) Professional development and capacity building initiatives through holding of mini workshops, seminars and training sessions & above all publication of forum proceedings;

(iv) Networking at local, national and international levels (v) Formation of partnerships and entrepreneurships among institutions, individuals to

build capacity for WM; and (vi) Above all it provides a platform for the Water Sector Advisory Group to disseminate

their deliberations to the entire country.

FORUM THEMES

The overall theme for this year’s forum is sustaining and improving the Zambian Water

sector: 50 years after independence”. The Forum and Exhibition will address the whole

water spectrum, and will seek to explore and find implementable solutions to:

(i) biggest challenges to effective water management; water supply & sanitation;

wastewater treatment and water quality management, sustainability - institutional,

environmental, social and financial aspects, and

(ii) how governments in developing countries can mainstream water at the centre of

development

4.0 BENEFITS OF ATTENDING THE FORUM

The Forum is open to all, consumers, water users, academicians, sector players, researchers in water and environmental management including scientists, policy makers, NGOs, other stakeholders and the general public. Two hundred fifty participants are expected to come to this Forum.
