The East African Water Association (EAWA) was launched in December 2003 with support of the Austrian Development Cooperation. The main aim of EAWA is to intensify regional and international collaboration in water sciences and technology in order to tackle the scientific and social challenges in the region. EAWA is presently interlinking more than 130 East African experts in aquatic ecology, aquatic ecosystems and resource management, biodiversity and conservation ecology, and water and sanitation.

From 4-8 December 2006, EAWA organizes a workshop entitled "Bridging research, technology and development: sustainable water resource management in East Africa". The workshop will take place in Mombasa, Kenya.
