Since 2001, the Water for Asian Cities (WAC) Program has been addressing the need for pro-poor investments in water and sanitation in Asia’s urban communities. This partnership between ADB and UN-Habitat aims to

  • expand and improve water supply and sanitation services to the urban poor in Asia
  • build the capacity of Asian cities to secure and manage pro-poor investments
  • help the region meet the Millennium Development Goal of halving by 2015 the proportion of people without safe drinking water and basic sanitation
