Resilient Water Accelerator (RWA)
Resilient Water Accelerator (RWA) accelerates water investment opportunities that generate measurable water security, climate resilience, and financial returns. Our mission is to create a supportive investment landscape in our priority markets where demand for finance is met with supply through well-designed deal structures and finance mechanisms that meet public, private, and corporate/commercial interests. RWA is a proud implementing partner of the UK Government’s Just Transitions for Water Security (JTWS) Programme and has received GBP 11m funding from FCDO. At present, RWA has three target markets: Supply/Value chains, Watersheds, and Municipal; and full-scale operations in Nigeria and Bangladesh, with near-future ambitions of expanding into additional geographies.
GDI’s role
Working closely with WaterAid UK, the host of the Accelerator, GDI is offering strategic guidance and operational excellence to help prove and scale RWA’s model across markets and geographies, and to support RWA’s transition into its long-term, independent organizational model.
