Partners for Water and Sanitation (PAWS)
Description/achievement of initiative

Partners for Water and Sanitation's aim is to help improve access to safe water and sanitation for people in four African countries, using expertise from the UK water industry.

PAWS is a not-for-profit partnership whose members come from government, private sector and civil society. PAWS uses the wide range of skills from these partners to provide advice and support to projects on the request of our partner countries.

PAWS works on projects that aim to build capacity through knowledge transfer in the water and sanitation sector to help to provide a sustainable solution.

Mission Statement: Helping others, in partnership, to promote sustainable water and sanitation provision through our sector expertise.
