∎ REACH: Improving Water Security for the Poor
∎ Business : REACH is a global research programme to improve water security for the poor by delivering world-class science that transforms policy and practice.
Living in poverty often means a struggle for water security. Rapid urban growth, unregulated pollution from industry, extreme floods and droughts, lack of reliable and safe drinking water, and increasing damage to water ecosystems threaten economies and undermine the lives of the poor.
Improving water security is an important pathway to sustainable growth and poverty reduction. However, better evidence is needed to guide institutional and infrastructure investments which unlock growth opportunities and help people move out of poverty.
The REACH programme will improve water security for over ten million poor people by:
Generating new evidence on water security through an innovative, interdisciplinary, risk-based approach
Establishing science, practitioner and enterprise partnerships to ground research in approaches that will benefit the poor
Building capacity and networks for the next generation of water managers and scientists in Africa and South Asia.
REACH is a global research programme (2015-24) to improve water security for 10 million poor people in Africa and Asia. The programme is funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and led by the University of Oxford in association with partners in Bangladesh, Kenya, and Ethiopia. In Bangladesh, the programme is a collaboration between the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), University of Dhaka, and the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Diseases, Bangladesh (icddr,b), with UNICEF as the implementing partner.
