Albain

Tchangou

Albain Tchangou is an experienced youth development professional program lead with a
demonstrated history of working in the youth advocacy space while supporting and
empowering Africa’s next generation of water leaders. Albain holds a degree in Political
science from the University of Johannesburg. Albain currently works as the AIP Youth
Coordinator and Communication Officer with GWPSA. Albain has been supporting the
work of the Continental Africa Water Investment Programme (AIP) and working with the
AIP secretariat to enhance mutual accountability, transparency and efficiency of water
finance and investments in Africa. Since January 2022, Albain has been supporting the
work of the AIP secretariat in the implementation of the AIP Water, Climate, Development
– Gender (AIP WACDEP-G) Programme. The programme is seeking to transform gender
inequalities at scale by promoting gender-transformative planning, decision-making and
institutional development for climate resilient water investments in Africa.

Albain believes that the experience, knowledge, and desire of a single person with an active
social position to impact lives positively can change the lives of other people,
communities, and countries. Albain believes he can use the knowledge acquired as a Male
Champion to empower other disadvantaged young Africans, women and men, and
influence key decision makers while working with the development community to achieve
the vision of the CIWA project.

I want to use what I have learned as a Male
Champion to empower other disadvantaged young
Africans, women and men, and influence key decision
makers within Southern Africa and more broadly.
