Urban Water Catalyst Initiative (UWCI)
Overview
The Urban Water Catalyst Initiative (UWCI) is an international development program focused on improving urban water and sanitation services, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Its mission is to support public water and sanitation utilities in becoming financially sustainable, operationally efficient, and environmentally resilient, enabling them to deliver safe and reliable services. Rather than traditional short-term aid projects, UWCI provides long-term technical assistance, financial guidance, and peer-to-peer learning opportunities to help utilities transform into well-performing organizations capable of attracting investment. The initiative aligns with global development goals such as SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation) and SDG 13 (climate action), and works in partnership with governments and development organizations, including entities from Germany, the Netherlands, KfW, and GIZ. Registered in the Netherlands, UWCI focuses on strengthening utilities in regions across Africa, Latin America, and Asia, fostering sustainable water and sanitation infrastructure that meets the needs of growing urban populations.
