    Water scarcity in Africa is a major issue, with 1 in 3 African citizens impacted by it

     Approximately 400 million people in sub-Saharan Africa lack access to basic drinking water, and 8.5 million people, including 4.2 million children, are facing dire water shortages across the Horn of Africa

    Water scarcity is predicted to reach dangerously high levels by 2025, with two-thirds of the world's population potentially suffering from it

    WHO estimates that water scarcity affects 1 in 3 people in the African Region and is getting worse due to population growth, urbanization and increases in household and industrial demand

    Approximately 1 in 3 people in Africa face water scarcity, with 66% of the continent being arid or semi-arid

    The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that water scarcity affects 1 in 3 people in the African Region and is getting worse with population growth, urbanization and increases in household and industrial demand

    The Horn of Africa is particularly affected by water shortages, with 8.5 million people, including 4.2 million children, facing dire water shortages across the region

    Water is a critical input for agricultural production in Africa and is mostly directed towards agriculture

    Agriculture is the largest consumer of water in sub-Saharan Africa, with staple food and rising population increasing demand and water scarcity. Groundwater is a major source of irrigation for smallholder farmers, particularly in West Africa where groundwater replenishment is largely dependent on rainfall

    Irrigation has the potential to boost agricultural productivities by at least 50 percent, but food production on the continent remains low due to lack of access to irrigation systems
