The meeting, attended by representatives from Eswatini, Mozambique and South Africa, explored opportunities for youth and women in the sector, as well as lessons that could be learned from other River Basin Organizations.
Eswatini mentioned that they have taken part in various Incomati Basin Women in Water conferences where there was a focus on women led academic research and projects. There are programs supported by the Blue Deal where a youth chapter has been established and young people get an opportunity to do internships and get mentorship.
