Access to clean water and adequate sanitation leads to improvements in health, school attendance, productivity, and entrepreneurship, yet almost 2 billion people live without it. MCC and its partner countries have prioritized WASH, investing over $700 million and leveraging millions more from public-private partnerships.
Join WaterAid America and MCC's WASH experts to learn about our water-related investments in Jordan, Zambia, and Cabo Verde.

Reform to improve WASH services
2) Utility Reform Activity to develop a
corporatized entity on Santiago island
3) Infrastructure Grant Facility funding to
improve quality and reach of most island’s
infrastructure

In order to understand our strategic direction, it is important to understand the global background. The MDGs were the first time the global community developed joint targets, which were to halve extreme poverty by 2015 – this goal was achieved in 2010. The targets we are interested in – were only “half” met. The water target was achieved, the sanitation target was not met. Fast forward to the post-2015 era, and we have a much more ambitious global agenda. We have more than doubled the number of goals, have 9 times as many targets and are ambitiously aiming to achieve universal access by 2030. There is now a focus on equality, universality, and finally, thanks to intense campaigning by WaterAid, and others, we now have our very own goal 6.

There is now a focus on equality, universality, and finally, thanks to intense campaigning by WaterAid, and others, have our very own goal 6.
Against this backdrop – Wateraid’s Global Strategy from 2009-2015 was very much focused on the number of beneficiaries that WaterAid could reach at the household level – in alignment with the MDG targets for water and sanitation. Our current strategy is infinitely more ambitious, like the SDGs, aiming to put in place the systems and processes to reach everyone, everyone by 2030. And in order to do that, we must emphasize the importance of partnerships and influencing, and working with all levels, from the MCC and bilaterals, national, regional and local governments, all the way down to the communities themselves.
WaterAid’s global strategy prioritizes the need for partnerships – with its focus on integration. Aim: We will work with others to develop plans and activities that accelerate change by integrating water, sanitation and hygiene into sustainable development. Integrate water, sanitation and hygiene with poverty eradication work: Good child and maternal health, women’s empowerment, education, nutrition, food security, housing and urban planning require safe water, sanitation and hygiene. Governments are responsible for playing a lead role in ensuring equitable access to domestic water and sanitation in the face of competing demands, and ensuring that good hygiene is promoted.
Integrate water, sanitation and hygiene with water resource and waste management: Sustainable management of shared water resources to improve health and prosperity and to reduce environmental pollution from untreated industrial, agricultural and human waste requires governments, the private sector and civil society to have a common interest in integrated planning and in the delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals.

About 50 percent of Cabo Verdeans do not have access to clean public water, and poor households are especially vulnerable; only about 9 percent of these households have access to the public water network.
More than half of poor households receive their water from community fountains, and the rest from expensive private tankers—meaning the poorest are often paying the highest prices for water.
Poor people—especially women—spend hours each week collecting and transporting water, limiting households’ income-earning potential. Off-network water can be poor in quality and carry risks of illness.
Sanitation is another big problem among poor Cabo Verdean households. Only 40 percent of the country has access to improved sewerage systems such as sewer networks or septic tanks. In rural areas, fewer than 16 percent of households have access.

Jordan is one of the most water stressed countries in the world. Per capita water supply decreasing and now less that 15% of world average 1,000 m3/yr :
3600 m3/yr - 1946
140 m3/yr - 2010
128 m3/yr - 2014
Rapid population growth, urbanization and rising standards of living have put water resources under severe stress, and with virtually no untapped sources of additional water, the country has begun to rely heavily on non-renewable fossil aquifers and to “mine” its renewable groundwater aquifers well beyond their sustainable yield. The lack of water puts pressure on public expenditures, which support costly projects to capture, transport and utilize water resources, and strains household budgets, as consumers turn to expensive alternatives like bottled water and truck-delivered water to supplement the limited supplies they receive through the public delivery network. The focus on water is therefore consistent with the Constraints Analysis conducted by the MCU.
