The USAID West Africa Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene program (USAID-WA-WASH) was carried out between 2011 and 2015 with the overall goal of increasing sustainable access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene in Burkina Faso, Niger and Ghana. The initiative was funded by USAID and coordinated by Florida International University (FIU) - leader of the Global Water for Sustainability (GLOWS) consortium. Partners included: Winrock International, WaterAid, CARE, the International Water Association (IWA), RAIN, the UNESCO-IHE, IRC, RWSN/SKAT, and Building Partnerships for Development (BPD). GLOWS works on-the-ground to implement water supply, sanitation, and hygiene services, improve water management practices, and build local capacity. Find more information on the IRC website.
