tion of PHWC would not be possible without

happy to have successfully held our Strategic
Planning Workshop which brought together all the
staff of the Corporation, stakeholders from
partnering ministries and officials from our
mentoring Utility together to collectively map the
way forward for the young Corporation for the
next five years. The event put together by the
Project Management Consultants’ Team of the
on-going 3rd Urban Water Sector Reform and
Port Harcourt Water Supply and Sanitation
Project saw PHWC re-defining its vision, mission
and core values and setting out a five year
strategic plan of action for its operations. A new
slogan emerged out of same meeting. Henceforth
“QUALITY IS OUR GOAL” is the new corporate
slogan of Port Harcourt Water Corporation

address by the Managing Director of the

Bank and the Government of Rivers State of
Nigeria: “In order to ensure that these deliver-
ables are accomplished on time and within budget

pacity to deliver on our mandate, we have called

Ambassador Spiff M.K Taribo-Amgbara in his key-

por Local Government Areas”. Ambassador

of Swaziland as a leader in Africa in water utility

sented by the Legal Adviser Barrister Senewo

and environmental good and people have right to
portable, safe and clean water. Therefore public

COUNTRIES AT COP22 2016 CALL FOR MORE ATTENTION TO WATER-Nick Michell
4
Countries have identified water as a key to
adaptation in 93 percent of their national climate
action plans. The Action Day for Water, organized
for the first time in the history of UN Climate
Change Conferences, has led to calls for more
attention to water as a way of providing solutions
to help implement the Paris Climate Change
Agreement. Countries at COP22 in Marrakech have
identified water as a key to adaptation in 93
percent of their national climate action plans. As
water is fundamental for food security, human
health, energy production, industrial productivity,
biodiversity, in addition to basic human needs and
its availability, ensuring water security means
ensuring security in all these domains. “Now, we
need to realize what is at stake, since water
insecurity leads to increased conflicts, tension
between populations, and also provokes migration
that threatens overall stability,” said Charafat
AFAILAL, Minister Delegate in Charge of Energy,
Mining, Water and Environment of Morocco.
Water is critical for successful climate change
mitigation, as many efforts to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions depend on reliable
access to water resources. Systematically
addressing these challenges is, therefore, key to
adapting to climate change and reducing the
negative impacts of water-related disasters. The
Action Day for Water also saw the launch of the
Blue Book on Water and Climate by the
Moroccan Government and its partners, as a
concrete outcome of its interim International
Conference on Water and Climate, hosted in
Rabat in July 2016, in cooperation with the
Government of France and the World Water
Council. The publication collects the orientations
and recommendations brought forth by the
international water community to support the
implementation of climate commitments and
proposes a variety of concrete and applicable
solutions related to adaptation and resilience
through water management.
