Millions of people around the world do not have enough water to sustain their livelihoods. Inadequate access to water is one of the main reasons for poverty and it affects people’s basic needs, health, food security and livelihoods. The 2002 Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development adopted the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of halving the percentage of people who do not have access to safe drinking water by 2015. It also created two new Pan-African entities – the ‘African Ministers’ Council on Water’ (AMCOW) and the ‘African Water Facility’ (AWF) – to stress the urgent need to address the continent’s precarious water situation.
