Addressing Water Challenges in the Developing World:
A Framework for Action
To guide water-related initiatives, USAID and the Department of State have developed a “Framework for Action,” which lays out the guiding principles for U.S. foreign assistance strategic action in the water sector.
The Framework outlines three key program areas for USAID missions to invest in around the world:
- increasing access to water supply and sanitation, and promoting better hygiene
- improving water resources management among competing needs
- improving water productivity, especially in agriculture and industry.
The Framework provides U.S. embassies and USAID missions with guidelines for programming resources and developing activities within their host countries. It also serves to inform country-level counterparts and other members of the international water community about the U.S. Government’s strategic direction within the water sector, facilitating improved collaboration, communication, and shared learning.
