Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ's "Waste to Resource" initiative seeks to raise awareness about the potential of wastewater as a resource. The program provides guidance on improving the planning, management, and financing of wastewater treatment and resource recovery and promoting the measures needed to make the shift a reality.

To guide WSS utilities to reinvent and strengthen themselves, the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ has developed Utility of the Future (UoF), a program designed to ignite, materialize and maintain transformation efforts in WSS utilities. 

Citywide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS) looks to shift the urban sanitation paradigm, aiming to ensure everyone has access to safely managed sanitation by promoting a range of solutions¡ªboth onsite and sewered, centralized or decentralized¡ªtailored to the realities of the world's burgeoning cities.

For the majority of urban water and wastewater utilities (WWUs), investments in energy efficiency will generate the highest return on investment. This initiative helps utilities mainstream energy efficiency investments. 

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ¡¯s Water Scarce Cities (WSC) Initiative offers a holistic perspective to urban water security in scarcity conditions by shifting mindsets, demystifying urban water management, and engaging with cities to develop concrete solutions. 

The Water Security Diagnostic Initiative seeks to make best use of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ¡¯s technical experience, instruments, and financial resources to create reports that dive deeper into the water challenges of a country.

Nature-based solutions (NBS), or "nature-based infrastructure," is an approach that uses natural systems to provide critical services.  They can provide a cost-effective and flexible approach for disaster risk and water resource management.

Non-Revenue Water can occur through physical losses from leaking and broken pipes, which are caused by poor operations and maintenance, the lack of active leakage control, and poor quality of underground assets. PPIAF supports several governments to help reduce NRW. 

Scaling ReWater is a Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ Group initiative to scale-up sustainable wastewater treatment and water reuse infrastructure in emerging economies through unlocking public and private finance using blended financing models.
