Our impact
For over two decades, we have been a driving force in creating an inclusive water and sanitation economy. We empower commercially viable solutions to reach their full potential, transforming them into sustainable and scalable businesses.
By catalysing both private and public capital, we support the growth and consolidation of viable enterprises and infrastructure projects.
At Aqua for All, sustainability, impact and inclusion are the foundation of everything we do.
Impact management and measurement (IMM)
Impact is at the heart of Aqua for All’s mission, embedded in and driving every phase of our intervention process. Through both direct and indirect initiatives, we generate measurable and meaningful impact results.
We have fully integrated impact measurement and management (IMM) into the core of our operations, reinforcing our commitment to accountability, transparency and continuous improvement. To maximise positive outcomes, we have centralised and streamlined our IMM framework with clear, achievable data requirements.
We actively monitor our climate impact to gather insights and set ambitious, yet realistic, targets for improving the effectiveness of our programmes. Launched in 2023, our climate policy’s ambition aims to secure future water and sanitation services, while scaling low carbon, climate-resilient water and sanitation enterprises and infrastructure, see our Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Strategy.
