In 2005 the U.S. Agency for International Development and Coca-Cola came together
to form a powerful public-private partnership - the Water and Development
Alliance - combining the organizational strengths, technical expertise, networks,
and water priorities of both partners- the Alliance has worked with local
stakeholders in more than 30 developing countries across three continents to
date addressing critical water and sanitation needs in order to build
healthier communities, stronger economies, and resilient ecosystems. The WADA
Platform leverages shared costs and expertise to deliver sustainable impacts
and benefits more quickly and at a greater scale, blending the class-leading core
capacities of its partners. The U.S. Agency for International Development provides
in-country development-related government relationships and
programmatic expertise while The Coca-Cola Company brings with it an understanding
of local water risks and private sector business expertise. Multiplying these
capacities with the partner's respective commitments to water and the reach of
both partners networks, The Water and Development Alliance is able to achieve
transformative, measurable, and lasting impact on the global water and
sanitation crisis. Utilizing an adaptive management approach, the Alliance's
effective partnership model continues to grow through innovation, monitoring, and
evidence-based decision-making. Key to its success are the Alliance's core
values of local ownership, institutional synergy, technical quality, and
transformational change. With its shared commitment to long term impact, The Water
and Development Alliance serves as a well-designed model that will make
forming partnerships easier- sharing costs and reducing barriers, so that by
working together, we can accelerate our path towards building a more healthy,
productive, and resilient future.
