Improving water security for 1 billion people by 2030 is the goal of the new Water Forward initiative launched today by the World Bank Group.
The new global platform will streamline and connect the key levers of policy, financing and regional partnerships to expand reliable water access, strengthen drought resilience, and boost job creation.
“Water is foundational to how economies function. When water systems work, farmers produce, businesses operate, and cities attract investment. Our task now is to align reform, financing, and partnerships to deliver reliable water services at scale,” said Ajay Banga, President of the World Bank Group.
