Bringing Together Members of Parliament
for Safe Water Worldwide

Ms. Bubala Muyovwe-Mumba

National Coordinator and CEO, Zambia NGO WASH Forum

Bubala Muyovwe-Mumba is the National Coordinator and CEO of the Zambia NGO WASH Forum, with over ten years’ experience in policy advocacy and human rights, particularly in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). She leads a coalition of more than 50 local and international NGOs, serving as a key link between grassroots organisations and Government. Bubala has played a significant role in the establishment of Zambia’s Ministry of Water Development and Sanitation and the development of key sector policies.

A pioneer in parliamentary engagement, Bubala successfully led the initiative to establish the Parliamentary Caucus on Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (PC-WASH) within the National Assembly of Zambia. This caucus has become a critical vehicle for supporting legislative priorities, amplifying community voices, and ensuring budget accountability.

Beyond its establishment, she has spearheaded technical training for Members of Parliament on climate adaptation strategies for WASH, supported by international partners including the EU and Danish People’s Aid. She brings this proven track record of creating dedicated legislative spaces for WASH to the South African context, advocating for the strategic necessity of a similar Parliamentary Caucus.

Internationally, she is an active member of the End Water Poverty Platform’s Task Team, contributing to the Claim Your Water Rights campaign, and serves as Zambia’s focal point for Sanitation and Water for All (SWA) and as a regional supporter for the African Civil Society Network on Water and Sanitation ANEW.

Academically, Bubala has a background in Community & Health Psychology and Commercial Law, equipping her to address both public health and legal dimensions of human rights advocacy.
