Internal water resources of Africa

In this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, we dive into one of the continent’s most pressing yet overlooked issues – the underutilization of Africa’s vast internal water resources. Despite being home to mighty rivers like the Congo, Nile, and Niger, as well as enormous groundwater reserves, millions of Africans still face water scarcity, food insecurity, and energy deficits due to poor infrastructure, mismanagement, and geopolitical tensions.

Internal water resources of Africa
Lumumba’s Africa focuses on the past and current issues affecting the African continent; Filmed amidst the beautiful landscapes of Kenya and hosted by Professor P.L.O. Lumumba, the show looks at the many dichotomies of Africa: why are some of the economies thriving while others stall; why conflicts emerge and refuse to die down, and why despite colonialism being ‘gone’, it still ruins the prosperity of nations.
