1. THINKING BEYOND THE OBVIOUS
GP Africa Water Conference
Water Technology • Water & Sanitation • Water leakage
12 - 14 June 2012
Indaba Hotel & Conference Centre,
Cnr William Nicol and Pieter Wenning Street,
Fourways, Johannesburg, South Africa
SETA Accreditation No. 2502

2. MOTIVATION
“The world is in a water crisis, with the problem perhaps most acute in Africa. Globally, more than one billion people do not
have access to safe drinking water, and half of the world’s population lacks adequate sanitation. More than 2m people die
annually from water-related diseases.” - Kofi Annan
The GP Africa Water Conference is a platform, which will facilitate discussions around the issues of developing and
managing Africa’s water infrastructure and resources to meet the demands of the future. This solutions-driven gathering
will also highlight strategies for securing sustainable water resources through effective demand management and
alternative water resource development methods and techniques.
The conference promises insightful dialogue with leading industry experts who are continually employing innovative
and sustainable ways of solving Africa’s water challenge. Delegates will also discover new technologies and emerging
ideas in overcoming the challenges faced in managing non-revenue water effectively. You will be able to improve the
operating revenue for all in the water industry thereby improving the financial efficiency, capital and operational funding
of an organization. The GP Africa Water Conference will focus on three key themes:
• WaterTechnology

• The water sector in Zambia is still in its formative stages since the start of the commercialisation process in the year 2000. This means that
the revenues generated are not adequate to cover all the operation, maintenance and CAPEX costs.
• The Plants and Reticulation Systems are in need of both immediate repairs and upgrade with the mobilisation of CAPEX Finance always taking
long. The total CAPEX requirements are estimated at USD 4Billion.
• The two scenarios above call for sound financial management to ensure that the existing infrastructure continue to be used to offer
services to our clients.
• Mulonga Water and Sewerage Company Limited is an example of one of the CUs in Zambia which has applied sound financial management
practices to ensure it matches its limited revenues with its costs. The company has consistently achieved cost coverage ratios of over 100%.
