Across regions and sectors, governments, UN agencies, civil society, youth advocates and partners are coming together around a new Shared Agenda for Action on Menstrual Health.

🌍 What do you think is the most strategic infrastructure Africa can build for its future?

In her interview for the Africa Dialogue Series, Laila Omar Gad, Head of the UNICEF AU & EU Liaison Office, reflected on the central role of children and youth in Africa’s development journey:

“The most strategic infrastructure Africa can build for its future may not only be roads or energy systems, but healthy, educated and resilient children — and this starts with Water, Sanitation and Hygiene.”

Safe water and sanitation underpin:
🌾 Food security
⚡ Energy resilience
📚 Education
🕊️ Peace and stability
🌍 Climate resilience
👧🏾 Human capital and youth opportunity As Sub-theme 3 of the Africa Dialogue Series 2026 begins, we are invited to think more broadly about the role of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) in shaping Africa’s future.
