The UN Water Decade Programme on Capacity Development (UNW-DPC), a joint programme of UN Agencies and Programmes cooperating within the framework of UN-Water, coordinated the UN-Water Seminar on “UN-Water’s Perspective on Water Supply and Sanitation and Needs for Capacity Development in Africa,” from 15-18 March 2010, in Kampala, Uganda.

The seminar focused on the current programmes and initiatives that UN-Water members and partners are currently implementing in Africa in the area of water supply and sanitation.
The session explored the different approaches and perspectives in search of synergies, needs and gaps in capacity development. The presentations concentrated on the most promising approaches implemented by UN-Water members and partners, highlighting especially the need for institutional capacity development and the establishment of cooperation in order to apply the best available technical, managerial and governance solutions.
