Partners

Consortium

University of Colorado Boulder led the consortium of partners that developed, demonstrated, learned about, and shared evidence on systems-based approaches for improving the sustainability of WASH services. With implementation of systems-based approaches in four countries, USAID – and the broader WASH sector – have gained an understanding of how, and under what conditions, these approaches can be effectively applied in future programs.
