This initiative, presented by Let\u2019s Talk About Water<\/strong> was inspired by the OECD report<\/em><\/strong><\/a>: \u00a0A survey on Water in African Cities prepared for World Water Day 2021 and the Mayor\u2019s Roundtable for the World Water Forum Dakar Senegal 2022.<\/p>

The Data revealed that Mayors are on the frontline of water problems \u2013 too much, too little, too dirty<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 and that young people will be 60% of the population of the African continent in 10 years.<\/p>

These two constellation points Mayors + Youth sparked the creation of Mayors Make Movies<\/strong> \u2013 an initiative to foster communication about water issues and solutions by the making of short films. Young people are visually literate and highly engaged with digital and social media; Mayors and their administrations need to build bridges amongst themselves and our youth!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
