We thrive on collaboration. With over 600 multi-sector paners, we are catalyzing positive outcomes in critical watersheds and climate-resilient WASH service delivery in vulnerable communities - in over 100 countries.We are pleased to share this “All Together Now” Compendium as evidence of our proven Collective Action management models and their impact on our world.

The Global Environment and Technology Foundation (GETF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization eablished in 1988, leads in mobilizing and managing high impact, multi-sector water panerships and programming at scale. Since 2005, Global Water Challenge (GWC) has been a sector leader in mobilizing clean water access, advancing water security and community empowerment in high need regions. With its 50+ multi-sector paners, GWC programs have improved WASH service delivery for over 3 MM people in 39 countries across Africa, the Americas and Asia while providing critical sector tools, data and be practices to reach millions more. GWC advises governments, donors, companies, and NGOs on ways to leverage private sector approaches to meet ambitious water security goals in communities and watersheds while mobilizing new financial resources and mechanisms to suppo programs worldwide. By catalyzing over USD $400 MM in co-funding and billions in non-financial resources, GETF’s water security plaorms have positively impacted over 15 MM people, in a total of 115 watersheds through climate resilience, basin health, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) access, utility rengthening, entrepreneurship, women’s empowerment and regenerative agriculture programming. 05

For almo two decades, across 34 countries, the Water and Development Alliance (WADA), a panership between the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and The Coca-Cola Company, significantly contributed to building resilient communities and ecosyems through water-based initiatives. A pioneering model of successful Collective Action, WADA’s rength lay in its agility to address changing local needs while delivering evolving paner priorities. This was achieved by adaptative plaorm management and by leveraging shared core capacities – paicularly the in-market knowledge and relationships of the Coca-Cola syem and USAID. By integrating eos across their va networks, co-designing country-level programs and by sharing data and expeise, WADA’s initiatives were highly eicient - demonrating how well coordinated panerships help to drive syemic change.“What made WADA novel was its approach to involve government paners in the design and implementation of activities.

Improved WASH service delivery• 1,7 MM+ People provided with safe water access in homes, schools and health clinics• 308,807+ People provided with sanitation access and education• 900 Communities with improved water and sanitation syem capacity Economic empowerment and food security• 488,264+ Women and youth provided financial literacy and entrepreneurship training• 9 Countries with increased food security through suainable agriculture training/toolsImproved land use and watershed management• 1 MM Land acres with improved management via tree planting, soil conservation and water eicient farming practices• 38 Critical basins conserved/reored with climate sma and water eicient technologies and improved waewater treatmentClimate resilience building and utility rengthening• Climate adaptation across 181 communities in 6 countries through utility rengthening that reduced non-revenue water (NRW), improved water service eiciency, energy-eicient water supply, flood-resiant water infraructure and climate-sma agriculture practices• Capacity building for 6 vital utilities through planning processes, data management and network analysis - unlocking new invement to augment suainable service deliveryCO-BENEFITS Beyond SDG 6, WADA delivered multiple co-benefits, linked to SDGs 2, 3, 4, 5, 13 and 17 – including: • Over 3.6 BN water liters are returned annually to communities and nature• Enhanced water security and climate resilience for urban centers in Iraq and Madagascar• 39+ Metric tonnes of CO2 avoided annually in Tanzania via solar-powered water syems• 6,700+ People received menrual hygiene and health training in Ghana and MalawiClimate resilience for rural communities across TanzaniaClimate-sma agriculture and gender equity in Ghana and MalawiClimate resilience for water utilities in IraqSuainable rural WASH across NigeriaImproved urban water service in Madagascar 18WithThe Coca-Cola Foundation, Global Water Challenge and Ipsos, WADA suppoed the pathbreakingRipple Eect Study, delivering evidence that clean water is a force multiplier for gender equity. • The insights andtoolsimulated significant new invement and have been widely adopted as foundational indicators to quantify women’s empowermentthrough improved water access. • The data also galvanized the development of the women for water plaorm, championed by GWC, to mobilize Collective Action for gender-sensitive WASH in 27 countries and growing. RIPPLE EFFECT STUDYIn 2015, WADA panered with GWC to catalyze the development of the Water Point Data Exchange (WPdx), which has become thesector-leading rural water data repository and decision suppo plaorm with over 800,000 water point records from 65 countries and 100 contributing organizations. Building on WPdx’s success, and in response to 1 in 4 healthcare facilities around the world lacking basic water services, GWC launched the WASH in Health Facility Data Exchange (WHdx) to oer decision-makers an open data plaorm with analytics, insights and decision-suppo tools to guide resource allocations at dirict and facility-levels. GWC has combined these easy to access, share and use data exchanges under WASHdx, an innovative insights and consulting plaorm to inform evidence-based policy, funding and programming to improve rural WASH service delivery.WHO/UNICEF/JMP Repo DATA SCIENCE AND DECISION-SUPPORT TOOLSRIPPLE EFFECT TOOLKITSECTOR BENEFITS WADA made significant contributions to sector rengthening through research, decision making plaorms and evidence-based frameworks and tools to advance water and gender, climate resilience, water quality and geospatial analysis knowledge. 199.

Local allies for global impactAliados por el agua (Allies for water) is a Collective Action plaorm that initiates, unifies, and scales eos to advance water security and climate change resilience in critical watersheds and high need communities across Latin America and the Caribbean. por el aguaCOLLECTIVE ACTION RATIONALE Latin America’s development is driven by water. With a quaer of its population living in water-scarce areas, millions of people lacking water and sanitation, watersheds degrading, failing infraructure and rising climate change impacts water insecurity and threatens the region’s socio-economic progress. As the large regional net expoer of food impacting global supply chains, key actors are challenged to help manage the region’s water as a rategic asset without borders.To help improve water security across the region, Coca-Cola Latin America asked GETF to design a multi-sector plaorm that mobilizes progress across multiple countries within a common framework.2030 GOALS• Improve WASH access for more than 2 MM people in 18 countries • Empower 1.1 MM women and youth• Protect and improve the health of 29 critical watersheds3412.
