USAID supports a public-private partnership to implement a Community Watershed Alliance project in both Wami-Ruvu and Pangani River Basins which has provided an important platform for improved environmental stewardship by communities and local industries. The overarching goal of this program is to support sustainable, market-driven water supply, sanitation, and hygiene services to improve health and increase economic resiliency of the poor in targeted rural areas and small towns within an integrated water resource management framework.
