\nThis year\u2019s 5-day summit in Cairo, Egypt commenced on October 12, 2025 through October 16, 2025 under the theme \u201cInnovative Solutions for Climate Resilience and Water Sustainability.\u201d
\nAccording to a statement from the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, the National Minister, James Mawich Makuach, led a high-level delegation of senior officials from the Ministry to participate in the international forum on Saturday.
\n\u201cSouth Sudan\u2019s presence at Cairo Water Week 2025 shows our strong commitment to water sustainability, climate resilience, and global cooperation.\u201d the Ministry\u2019s press unit stated.
\nIn the statement, the Ministry emphasized that water resource management is a cornerstone of South Sudan\u2019s national development agenda, aligning with the country\u2019s strategic goals on climate adaptation, rural development, and public health.
\nThe statement further noted that at the Cairo summit, Minister Mawich will engage in high-level discussions on transboundary water governance, climate-smart infrastructure, and financing for water and sanitation projects.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re here to share experiences, learn, and build partnerships to deliver safe water and climate-resilient services,\u201d the Ministry stated in a statement.
\nThe Ministry\u2019s statement noted that South Sudan\u2019s attendance demonstrates the country\u2019s continued engagement in regional and international cooperation on water and sanitation, particularly within the framework of the Nile Basin.

\nThe Cairo Water Week brings together ministers, policymakers, scientists, and development partners from across the world to explore innovative approaches to water management amid the growing impacts of climate change.

\nThe event serves as a key platform for South Sudan to strengthen its partnerships, share experiences, and mobilize technical and financial support toward achieving national and regional water security goals.
\nSouth Sudan\u2019s delegation was warmly received by Eng. Sameh Abdelrahman, Head of the Central Department in the Nile Water Sector, and Eng. Amgad, General Director for Forecasting in the Nile Water Sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
