Mombasa County has won the bid to host the International Desalination Conference in 2021.

The biennial IDA World Congress is the world’s most anticipated and prestigious desalination and water reuse event. 

The IDA flag was officially handed to Mombasa during the just concluded 2019 congress in Dubai. The flag was received by Water and sanitation cabinet secretary Simon Chelegui and the Mombasa County Water and Sanitation Executive Fatma Awale.

Awale was also elected as one of the directors of IDA.

The International Desalination Association (IDA) is the world’s leading resource for information and professional development for the global desalination industry – and the only global association focused exclusively on desalination and water reuse technologies.
