A Platform Built for Impact
The ACWA Platform accelerates the adoption and implementation of proven solutions by aligning efforts across a vast network of partners. It champions local leadership while offering cities the tools they need to overcome their toughest water challenges. Working closely with city champions, ACWA supports:
Research, planning, and analysis to shape water resilience pathways
Tailored technical assistance and capacity building to design, finance, and implement solutions
Collective action to strengthen the enabling environment for long-term impact
Powering the Transformation: The ACWA Fund
At the heart of the Platform is the African Cities Water Adaptation Fund (ACWA Fund)—a catalytic financing mechanism designed to mobilize substantial investment and scale water resilience solutions to 100 African cities by 2032.
Rooted in Collaboration, Driven by Purpose
The ACWA Platform is grounded in the 2030 Joint Agenda for Urban Water Resilience in Africa, a bold roadmap developed through deep collaboration with institutions and thought leaders across the continent.
