It is with great sadness that the Management of Global Water Partnership Southern Africa and Tanzania, announces the passing of Engineer Mbogo Futakamba. Engineer Futakamba was not only a respected Water Professional but also a dedicated advocate for water resources management across the region. His contributions to the field and his unwavering commitment to our mission have left an enduring legacy.
In this time of profound loss, our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, and loved ones. Engineer Futakamba’s presence and leadership within our organization were an inspiration to all who had the privilege of working with him. His wisdom, professionalism, and kindness will be greatly missed.
As we join together in mourning, we also remember the many accomplishments Engineer Futakamba achieved in his remarkable career. His impact will continue to resonate within our organization and beyond, as we carry forward the values and vision he championed.
Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Eng. Mbogo Futakamba, a respected leader and expert in the water sector. I had the privilege of knowing him for many years, first as an official in the Ministry of Water, Energy, and Minerals when I served as Minister, and later as Permanent Secretary for Water during my Presidency. Until his passing, he served as a technical advisor in the @GWPSAF Secretariat. Rest in peace, Engineer.

World Water Day celebrated on March 22nd annually serves as a critical platform for global discussions on sustainable water management. This day is celebrated since 1993 as a United Nations annual observance on the critical role of water to sustaining livelihoods, ecosystems and human development.
Tanzania has continuously commemorated the importance of water as a key resource to preserving life itself in the country since 1988, long before the inception of the World Water Day by initiating the Maji week, which was later aligned with International World Water Day.
This year's global theme, Water for Peace, resonates profoundly with Tanzania's strategic priorities and ongoing reforms in the water sector. The national theme for this year’s Maji Week is: Water Security for Peace and Harmony of which aligns with the global theme.
Tanzania's efforts in water resource management have focused on the establishment of robust institutional frameworks that facilitate coordination among various stakeholders. Effective functioning of such stakeholder platforms requires partnership with other stakeholders in the sector. One of such partners is the Global Water Partnership Tanzania, whom have an active Memorundum of Understanding with Ministry of Water.
On this World Water Day, we are reminded that we all have a role to play. Sustainable water resource management has very much become an urgent issue! Collaborative efforts across sectors and investment in securing Tanzania's water future are the key priorities towards ensuring Water security in the country to promote peace and harmony.
Happy World Water Day 2024!
