World Water Day, held on 22 March every year since 1993, is an annual United Nations Observance that celebrates water and inspires action to tackle the global water crisis. Women and girls are disproportionately affected by water-related challenges due to entrenched gender roles, inadequate infrastructure, underrepresentation, limited funding, restrictive social norms and systemic inequalities. The 2026 World Water Day campaign calls for a transformative, rights-based approach where women have equal voice, leadership, and opportunities in water decision-making – making water a force for a healthier, more prosperous, gender-equal future that will benefit us all.

The article directly connects agricultural water management (AWM) to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), emphasizing that effective water management is crucial for achieving food security and agricultural transformation in Africa. The policy agenda outlined aligns with both Agenda 2063 and SDG 2, highlighting how accelerated, context-specific AWM can unlock substantial gains in food security, climate resilience, and rural livelihoods. The connection is reinforced through specific targets mentioned in the introduction, where water management is explicitly integrated into five of the six CAADP strategic objectives, supporting goals like 45% increase in agricultural output and 50% reduction in losses. Additionally, the AU's Agenda 2063 aims to enhance water productivity by 60%, capture 10% of rainwater for productive use, and recycle 10% of wastewater, directly supporting sustainable development through improved resource management.

The article directly supports SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) by demonstrating how treated wastewater can provide sustainable water solutions for agriculture in water-scarce North African countries. It also contributes to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) by addressing food security challenges through innovative water management strategies that sustain agricultural production despite increasing water scarcity.
