SEGURA Consulting is a member of a consortium led by Tetra Tech for the Urban Resilience by Building partnerships and Applying New evidence in WASH (URBAN WASH) Program. URBAN WASH generates evidence for more impactful, sustainable, equitable, and climate-resilient WASH and WRM policy and programming in urban and peri-urban areas and supports high-impact WASH and WRM interventions through collaboration with researchers, the private sector, civil society groups, government bodies, and multilateral institutions.
URBAN WASH is an initiative of the Center for Water Security, Sanitation and Hygiene in USAID’s Bureau for Resilience and Food Security.
Project Scope
To address information gaps and facilitate uptake of learning, the URBAN WASH program works in close coordination with USAID as well as policy makers, development partners, and service providers to:
Partner and engage strategically for research, peer learning, and uptake of evidence.
Generate high-quality evidence focusing on the enabling environment for water and sanitation policies and regulation, small and informal service providers, and source water protection and diversification for resilient urban water supplies.
Provide technical assistance to USAID Missions on WASH and WRM research, assessments, and monitoring, evaluation, and learning.
URBAN WASH has three Focus Areas:
Enabling Environment for Water and Sanitation Policies and Regulation
Small and Informal Service Provision
Source Water Protection
SEGURA plays a cross-cutting role across the Focus Areas and also supports targeted technical assistance through Mission buy-ins, including an ongoing effort, led by the Aquaya Institute, to assess water quality, water equity, and non-revenue water.
