WASH Presnece

What problems are we aiming to solve?

2.1 billion people lack access to safely managed water, 4.5 billion lack access to safely managed sanitation services There are serious challenges to achieving universal, safely-managed, sustainable service: 1. Ineffective billing/collections 2. High non-revenue water 3. Disconnected value chains with multiple stakeholders and limited visibility 4. High household connection costs 5. Low willingness to pay for poor service 6. Insufficient sectoral funding
