Organisation: Millennium Water Alliance (MWA)
Project Name: USAID /Uganda Sanitation Program
Duty Station: Kampala, Uganda
Reports to: Chief of Party
About US:
The Millennium Water Alliance was
formed as the Unites States announced its commitment to the Goals for
Sustainable Development. One goal was to “reduce by half, the proportion of
people without access to safe and affordable drinking water and sanitation” by
the year 2015. To help reach this goal, in 2003 the leading US-based
non-governmental organizations working in water and sanitation formed the
Millennium Water Alliance (MWA) as 501(c)(3) organization to offer sustainable
solutions through advocacy, shared knowledge, and collaborative programming.
Since then, MWA has created consortium field programs in which member NGOs
bring their strengths and share ideas on effective approaches, for maximum
efficiency and long-term effectiveness. Our major collaborative field programs
to date operate in Ethiopia, Kenya, and in five countries in Central America.
