From 21 to 26 March 2022, the 9th World Water Forum will be held in Dakar/Diamnadio, Senegal.

Last month, the new 6-year agreement between the Government of the Netherlands and UNESCO (signed during ISARM2021 closing session) became effective. This new chapter also comes with a reshaped governing board.

With the 22nd of March approaching, IGRAC and the other World Water Day taskforce members start a new video challenge. We are asking people from around the world to make a 60 second film on the theme of ‘Groundwater – making the invisible visible’. The campaign description below and the instruction video with IGRAC's Communication Specialist Stefan Siepman explain how to participate. 

From 25 to 27 January, the 2nd edition of the IGAD Water Dialogue Forum took place at the Imperial golf Hotel in Entebbe, Uganda. This forum was held as hybrid event, with part of the attendees participating in Entebbe and several speakers joining in online. IGRAC researcher Neno Kukuric and Arnaud Sterckx were among those speakers, with the first participating in a discussion and the latter giving a keynote speech on capacity building.

On the 1st of January 2022, Elisabeth Lictevout joined the IGRAC team as Director. Elisabeth brings to the table 26 years of worldwide experience as a consultant, project manager, researcher and R&D Center director.
