dc.descriptionThe Wastewater Surveillance for Africa (WWS) Initiative aims to support governments and relevant stakeholders in scaling up wastewater surveillance systems across Africa to enhance public and ecosystem health, and pandemic preparedness. Building on the success of similar programs around the globe during the COVID-19 pandemic, this initiative will focus on capacity building, harmonizing methodologies, and fostering knowledge exchange within the African context, in the spirit of leaving no one behind. The initiative is implemented by UNEP under the One Health approach, and in collaboration with key stakeholders such as the Global Consortium for Wastewater and Environmental Surveillance for Public Health (GLOWACON), the World Health Organization (WHO), Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) and the Global Wastewater Initiative (GWWI).en
