Manufacturing News Center
NEW YORK, NY - - April 30 - - A strategic public-private collaboration
devoted to ensuring safe drinking water was officially launched at the
United Nations' Commission on Sustainable Development meeting in New
York.
The Safe Drinking Water Alliance will receive $1.4 million over the
next 18 months from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)
through the Global Development Alliance, an initiative to promote partnerships
such as this in the developing world. USAID's financial contribution
is leveraging substantial in-kind and financial contributions from Procter
& Gamble (estimated at approximately $3.5 million), as well as technical
and program support resources from other partners.
The Alliance is designed to develop innovative approaches for ensuring
the safety of drinking water. USAID, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School
of Public Health/Center for Communication Programs (CCP), CARE, Population
Services International (PSI), and Procter & Gamble joined forces to
leverage their respective expertise and resources to better understand
the behaviors and motivations for choosing particular technologies for
treating household water, to share the knowledge gained, and identify
opportunities for scaling up successful efforts to ensure safe drinking
water.
