To assist UNWC in assisting Mageed with his situation, Mostafa Kamal Tolba gave substantial United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) funds.
Yahia contributed to the UNWC being one of the most successful and effective global conferences, the UN has ever hosted with his practical understanding of Water, charismatic personality, and excellent administration.
In his opening address to UNWC, Mageed noted: "The success of this conference will be measured not here at Mar del Plata, not by us, but by posterity over the next two decades."By these standards, it is without a shadow of a question that UNWC was a resounding success.
Compared to when he arrived, Mageed departed the UN in a far better state.
Yahia, Mostafa Kamal Tolba, and Asit K. Biswas made the 1980s be recognised as the International Water Supply and Sanitation Decade (IWSSD), during which a sizable portion of the world's population would have access to clean Water and sanitation.

Yahia was a Founding Fellow of the African Academy of Sciences (1985) and was awarded IWRA’s Crystal Drop Award in 1991.
Biswas, Asit K. (2021-05-19).
