1Facilitating the sustainable and inclusive growth of cities, communities and local economies
Cowater understands the immense potential of urbanization to reduce poverty, increase inclusive growth, and improve quality of life for people. We also understand that realizing this potential requires sound local governance, long-term planning, and inclusive economic development practices. With that in mind, we strengthen local governance systems, improve investment climates and increase the quality of public services to create sustainable and thriving cities. We work with local governments and communities to establish affordable and reliable water and energy through smart utility projects. We help businesses grow and support efforts to increase women’s representation in the labour force to strengthen local economies.
