In a powerful presentation that brought the harsh realities of millions of African citizens to the floor of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR), Afrobarometer has declared that the continent is facing a structural crisis in water and sanitation that can no longer wait for incremental political promises.
Delivering the observer statement on behalf of the pan-African research network, Nyasha Mpani, Project Leader for the Data for Governance Alliance Project, provided a sobering, data-driven indictment of state accountability, revealing that more than half of the continent’s population experiences severe water scarcity.
