Abstract: This annual report from the 2030 Water Resources Group (WRG) details global efforts to strengthen water security through public-private collaboration, focusing on financial mobilization, governance innovation, and technical interventions. Over $1.6 billion in financing was catalyzed across eight focus countries?including Kenya?with water savings exceeding 1 billion cubic meters. Kenya-specific projects include performance-based contracts to curb non-revenue water losses, support for irrigation sector investment planning, and deployment of non-sewered sanitation solutions across 25 counties. The report explores WRG?s thematic work?Water for Food, Cities, and Planet?and strategic engagements in Bangladesh, South Africa, and Colombia. Global programs such as low methane rice, urban water reuse, and water-secure cities are framed as scalable solutions addressing climate-induced water risks. The report ends with future priorities linked to SDGs, including improved governance structures, partner networks, and mechanisms to scale water-related climate adaptation finance through World Bank initiatives.
