🌍 World Meteorological Day 2026 Climate observation is the foundation of resilience. Strengthening Africa’s NMHSs ensures accurate forecasts, early warnings, and climate informed decisions for food, water, health & energy. #WorldMeteorologicalDay #WMD2026

Early Warning Leads to Early Action! I take this time to reach out to countries hardest hit by floods, #Kenya, #Somalia, #Ethiopia & #DRC which faced devastating impacts from the long rains. #Earlywarning saves lives; ⏯️ Watch how preparedness can protect communities. @AU_DARBE

« Investir dans l’eau💧, c’est investir dans les femmes, les filles et l'avenir de l'Afrique🌍. » ​S.E. Moses Vilakati, @MosesVilakati @AU_DARBE, souligne l'urgence de l'accès à l'eau pour tous. #WordWaterDay2026 ​VOIR : youtu.be/Nl8yqqJGqJo LIRE : au.int/en/summit/39

Safe sanitation should not be a privilege. Unsafe sanitation shows up in quiet ways. A child misses school because the facilities aren’t safe. A community deals with preventable illness. A clinic struggles to provide care without clean #water and proper #sanitation. The @_AfricanUnion Theme of the Year 2026 (#AUTOTY2026) puts safe water and sanitation as something that has to work in real places, for real people. This is where #civilsociety comes in and shows up. You’re setting up facilities where they’re missing; running hygiene sessions; and paying attention to what’s working and what isn’t, and pushing for better. What does that look like where you are? Share what you’re doing to improve sanitation in your community! #YearOfWaterAndSanitation #WASH #Agenda2063

From #WorldWaterDay to #GirlsInICT Day (April 23): Innovation is the bridge! ​@AU_WGYD is committed to #Agenda2063 by leveraging ICT to solve water challenges. Empowering girls in tech means sustainable water solutions for Africa's future 🌍 ​#AfricaWaterSustainability #ICT4Dev

🌱 Weather & climate observations are critical for Africa’s economic development. From seasonal forecasts to drought advisories, climate services help decion makers plan, reduce risk, and protect livelihoods. 📡 Observing today means protecting tomorrow. #WorldMeteorologicalDay

#InternationalWorldWaterDay As the @AfricanUnion calls for sustainable water and sanitation for all, every drop counts for Africa's development. @AU_DARBE #Agenda2063

On this #WorldWaterDay, the @_AfricanUnion emphasizes the vital role of “Water and Gender” in achieving #WomenEmpowerment , in alignment with the #AU theme of Year: “Assuring Sustainable Water Availability and Safe Sanitation Systems to Achieve Agenda2063 Goals” . This theme emphasizes the critical connection between water access and gender equality, highlighting the role women play in water management and the necessity for inclusive policies that ensure equitable access to water, and promotes collaborative efforts towards sustainable solutions. Together, we can build a sustainable future for all! #WaterAndGender #Agenda2063 #Agenda2030 #TheAfricaWeWant

Take a moment to read this before our consultations on the @_AfricanUnion Theme of the Year 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ begin! 🔗 bit.ly/2026CN The African Union has set 2026 as the year of “Assuring Sustainable Water Availability and Safe Sanitation Systems to Achieve the Goals of #Agenda2063.” This focus reflects ongoing realities across the continent. Access to safe #water and #sanitation remains uneven, while climate pressures continue to strain existing systems and affect livelihoods, #health, and economic activity. The Concept Note outlines how the AU is approaching these challenges. It connects water and sanitation to broader development priorities and highlights the need for stronger governance, investment in resilient systems, better #data, and coordinated action across countries. Our upcoming consultations are built on this foundation. Read the Concept Note ahead of time and reflect on what it means in your context. Come prepared to share practical insights and grounded proposals! 🔗 bit.ly/2026CN #AUTOTY2026 #YearOfWaterAndSanitation #ClimateAction #ClimateChange #CleanWaterForAll

He emphasized the continent’s huge potential and calls for stronger policies, investments in agrifood systems, climate resilience, social protection, and sustainable water and sanitation to end hunger. “Nearly 300M face hunger; no AU Member State was on track to achieve the target of zero hunger by 2025 as set out in the 5th CAADP Biennial Review Process . With vast resources & youth, we must recommit to ending hunger by 2035 through stronger policies, improved soil fertility and productivity,  climate resilience, & sustainable water” he said. #Agenda2063 #ZeroHunger #GHI2025 Read full speech of the Commissioner @ au.int/en/speeches/20… Learn  more @ au.int/en/newsevents/…
