USAID/India’s Grant for Transformative Partnerships in Climate-Resilient WASH

The purpose of the Diversifying Partnerships in WASH (DiP-WASH) Annual Program Statement (APS) is to engage a diverse range of partners, including new, nontraditional, and local actors on innovative and evidence-based approaches that address persistent challenges in water security, inclusive of drinking water, sanitation and hygiene, and that are not adequately addressed by other USAID investments, and that result in increasing the equitable availability and sustainable management of climate-resilient safe water and sanitation for underserved and marginalized communities and people in vulnerable situations.

The overall goal of the Transformative Partnerships for Climate-Resilient Water and Sanitation Initiative is to strengthen and expand inclusive, climate-resilient, and low-emissions water security and sanitation through collaborative approaches to position India as a global leader in the water, sanitation, and hygiene sector.
