USAID's Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Finance (WASH-FIN)

The United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Finance (WASH-FIN) Program is a six-year technical assistance activity that began in October 2016. Tetra Tech leads WASH-FIN implementation on behalf of the USAID Center for Water Security, Sanitation, and Hygiene, which manages the project under the Bureau for Resilience and Food Security.

WASH-FIN seeks to close financing gaps to achieve universal access to water and sanitation services through the promotion of sustainable and creditworthy business models, increased public investment, and expanded market finance for infrastructure investment that enable targeted countries to become self-reliant by accessing reliable sources of capital for sustainable, climate resilient water and sanitation infrastructure. WASH-FIN works in collaboration with national governments, development partners, financial institutions, service providers, and local stakeholders. WASH-FIN activities span an eight-country portfolio across sub-Saharan Africa and South and Southeast Asia, including Senegal, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia, Cambodia, Nepal, and the Philippines. Each individual country activity has specific objectives intended to support the overall program goals.
