Abstract | The United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID’s) first ever Water and Development Strategy was launched and became effective May 21, 2013. The Strategy is intended to guide Agency-wide programming on water from 2013-2018. The overarching goal of the Strategy is to save lives and advance development through improvements in water supply, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), and through sound management and use of water for food security. To achieve this goal, the Strategy sets two strategic objectives (SOs). The focus of SO1 is water for health, and the focus of SO2 is water for food. [authors abstract] |
