Global Programs and Partnerships

USAID has a wide variety of global initiatives to increase the reliability and sustainability of water supply; improve hygiene and public health; and extend sanitation coverage and promote associated behavioral change.

Managed from Washington, DC, these global initiatives combine the resources and technical expertise of both the public and private sectors to help deliver sustainable WASH and WRM solutions, at scale, in partner communities across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East.
