Ms Charafat Afailal: Water is Consubstantial to Migration in Africa

"Migration in Africa is the direct cause of natural disasters in countries hit hard by climate change" said for her part  Mrs Charafat Aafailal

Mrs Afailal persued « he lack of water disrupts political stability and peace in Africa ;  access to energy, food security, education and many other vital areas". She cited the example of the Lake Chad as « an eloquent example of the suffering of Africa because of its drying up, 30 million Africans have been forced to migrate."

To support Africa, the ministry launched the "Water for Africa" initiative, which will essentially act to finance water management in the continent, because it is responsible for only 3% of the world's greenhouse gases and benefits only 4% of the budget allocated to prevent the effects of climate change and it is unfair and inequitable.

Mrs Amina Benkhadra, general director of the of the National Board of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM).

Mrs Amina Benkhadra said that "650 million Africans do not have access to electricity and that at this rate will not be able to generalize this access until 2080".

"We have an acquis : the betting agreement has federated 195 states. To persevere ithis spirit, the COP22 must come up with concrete solutions and the implementation of a timetable before 2020," she added .

In this sense, "58 initiatives in Africa have been launched but we still need to create bridges between countries and bring project bearers and financial institutions closer together, guided  by the  discourse of His Majesty the King in Abidjan wher He affirmed that Africa is rich in human potential. At this stage, the contribution of the diaspora will be crucial in the transfer of know-how ".
