Water is a major challenge of the 21st century. It is a vital resource that needs to be protected and managed for the benefit of all. This is the prevailing vision in the very large number of projects for access to water and sanitation which AFD supports around the world.

For example, we:

• Assist in the definition of clear and effective sectoral frameworks to support our partners beyond the funded projects
• Finance the construction and rehabilitation of drinking water production infrastructure, with a priority focus on precarious neighborhoods and areas of urban sprawl
• Promote integrated water resources management (IWRM) to meet the strong increase in demand. The objective: sustainably manage water resources and preserve their quantity (projects to reduce losses and waste, initiatives to renew aquifers) and quality (construction of domestic water treatment plants and industrial effluent treatment plants)
• Work on flood risk management. Our strategy is based on three complementary and interconnected principles: prevention, preparation and the culture of risk.
