About the Strathmore University Water Governance and Innovation Hub

The Hub endeavours to ensure that water professionals in Africa and beyond have the competencies to govern water resources and services with efficiency and integrity. This is significant towards its vision of transforming the water sector in Africa.

At the core of governance is the need for well-trained and critically minded water professionals who are likely to influence the processes of democracy and development in their societies. This effort derives from a conviction that governance standards are essential for fostering sustainable development through the proper management of water services and resources.
