Abstract:

The Women + Water Alliance is a global development alliance (GDA) between USAID and Gap Inc. and its partners, CARE, Water.org, WaterAid, the Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC), International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) and the Institute for Development Impact. This infographic developed by I4DI outlines the key outcomes of the activities of the Women + Water alliance in relation to water access in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. Improvements were observed in drinking water access, in targeted communities in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, with increase in access to improved water source, water source location in yard, and water satisfaction.

Description:

Women + Water (W+W) is a six year (2017-2023) Global Development Alliance between USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development) and Gap Inc. that is committed to improving and sustaining the health and well-being of women and communities touched by the apparel industry in India. The alliance brought together CARE, WaterAid, Water.org, and the Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC) to deliver converging activities related to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). I4DI, as the alliance’s learning partner, conducted an endline evaluation of the program in mid-2022 to determine the extent to which the W+W Alliance contributed to improved well-being in target communities.

Sustainability in Focus: COP28 Expectations Amid Global Climate Realities

Ahead of the pivotal COP28 in Dubai, the world faces a stark climate reality, underscored by 2023 being the hottest year on record. This trend, signaling a significant rise in Earth’s temperature since 1880, calls for urgent action. Pre-COP28 events, such as the Africa Climate Summit and Climate Week in New York, have set the stage by focusing on renewable energy, sustainable growth, and resilience. COP28 will explore finance, technology, and inclusion, addressing climate financing, loss and damage, and innovations like green hydrogen. The conference must also acknowledge the disproportionate impact of climate change on Indigenous communities and low-emission countries. Despite strides in renewable energy and policies like the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act and the EU’s Green Deal, more integrated strategies are needed. COP28 presents an opportunity for global leaders to showcase their commitment to comprehensive climate action.
