Water's edge: rising to the challenge of a changing world
In 2017, the World Bank with its partners launched a new initiative for a water-secure world, the Global Water Security & Sanitation Partnership (GWSP), housed within the World Bank's Water Global Practice. This is the GWSP's first-ever Annual Report, which provides a snapshot of its first year of delivery. It shows how the GWSP is shifting where and how countries invest in water by putting resources behind five priority themes deemed essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals—sustainability, institutions, financing, inclusion, and resilience. By bringing innovation, new knowledge and evidence, and flexibility to World Bank lending operations, the GWSP helps clients achieve more significant and more sustainable results. The partnership is working where it matters most, on the frontlines of some of the most pressing global crises.
