South Asia Water Security Initiative

The South Asia Water Security Initiative (SAWASI) aims to improve access to safe water and sanitation services for disadvantaged communities in South Asian cities. It does this by strengthening South Asian city-level water governance; by undertaking investments that provide urban water services support to disadvantaged communities (particularly women and girls); and by making partner governments, other donors and water professionals aware of Australian expertise in urban water management and water sensitive cities (WSC). SAWASI's expected end-of-program outcomes are: • By 2025, four disadvantaged communities in South Asian cities have transitioned towards WSC. • Improved knowledge amongst workshop attendees of WSC approach. • Local, state and/or national government officials technical assistance needs met and have a positive attitude towards partnerships with Australian urban water experts.
