Since 2007, ESAWAS has held an annual conference that brings together regulators to deliberate on issues to enhance WSS regulation and service provision. From 2022, the regional regulator’s conference evolved to a continent-wide gathering of institutions with primary WSS regulatory responsibilities from across Africa.

The Africa WSS Regulators Conference endorsed by ESAWAS Members, non-members and partners has become a standing platform for knowledge and experience exchange towards strengthening and promoting effective WSS regulation, among regulatory institutions within Africa and across the globe.
