Ramaphosa, Modi Launch Water Investment Platform
Imagine world leaders like the President of South Africa and the Prime Minister of India, getting together to help everyone get clean water.
They've created a special group to invest money and make sure water is a top priority.
This new group will help track how things are improving, find money to help, and make sure everyone is working together.
They want water to be seen as a right for everyone and not something to be used unfairly.
The goal is to make water a way to create jobs, encourage new ideas, and help keep the peace, ensuring that investing in water is not an afterthought.
South African President Ramaphosa, along with Indian Prime Minister Modi and other global leaders, joined a new water investment platform.
The Global Outlook Council on Water Investments is a G20 initiative to ensure safe water access globally.
The Africa Water Investment Programme is being scaled up into a Global Water Investment Platform.
The platform aims to track progress, unlock finance, and align efforts across various international bodies.
The Africa Water Investment Summit seeks to position water as a priority on the global political and financial agenda.
