Our strategy
Aqua for All has developed a unique approach that combines developing the water and sanitation market with in-house, structuring and fund investment expertise.
We aim to build a thriving water and sanitation economy that drives innovation, sustainability and inclusion.
In doing so, we contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 and creating a viable water and sanitation market. Access to clean water and sanitation underpins progress in poverty reduction (SDG 1), health and well-being (SDG 3), gender equality (SDG 5), economic growth (SDG 8) and climate resilience (SDG 13).
Together, these elements are critical to transforming the sector, closing the service and finance gaps and responding to challenges such as population growth, migration, urbanisation and climate change.
Our dual approach
Governments and water and sanitation enterprises face significant capacity and funding constraints in delivering drinking water and sanitation services. We address these challenges with our dual approach:
Market development
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are critical in expanding and maintaining water and sanitation services. By addressing critical market gaps and complementing public service efforts with locally adapted solutions, they reach millions of people, drive income generation, enhance community resilience and foster economic growth.
Our market development strategy supports SMEs with results-based grants, social impact incentives, technical assistance, and access to networks, enabling them to provide reliable and efficient services and strengthening the ecosystem.
Fund Investments and Structuring
Mobilising private capital is key to accelerating access to inclusive, affordable and sustainable water and sanitation solutions. Interest in water and sanitation as an investable asset is growing, but many financial actors lack the market insight, risk appetite or instruments needed to invest effectively.
Recognising the link between finance and service gaps, we invest equity, structure de-risking instruments and technical assistance to help financial partners enter the water and sanitation market and unlock private capital for service delivery.
