This week, Ruden Water is represented by Helene Ruden at the Zanzibar Water Conference. Fridtjov Ruden and Manon van Goethem are contributing to the technical programme with presentations. We are excited for our continuous collaboration with Zanzibar on supporting the implementation of the Zanzibar Development Vision 2050 towards achieving blue economy.
We met H.E. Dr Hussein Ali Mwinyi, President of Zanzibar, who addressed his support for the Ruden Water approach during the official opening of the conference, and with the Principal Secretary for the Ministry of Water, Energy and Minerals Mr. Joseph J. Kilangi.
