GWC CONVENES CROSS-SECTOR PARTNERS, DELIVERS STANDARDS-BASED TRAINING AND ONGOING TECHNICAL SUPPORT, AND PROVIDES PRACTICAL TOOLS THAT HELP WATER SYSTEMS STAY OPERATIONAL. SINCE 2020, GWC HAS TRAINED MORE THAN 4,000 WATER PROFESSIONALS ACROSS 118 COUNTRIES AND PARTNERED WITH MORE THAN 40 ORGANIZATIONS ADVANCING THE GOAL TO END WATER POVERTY, SAVE LIVES, AND SET UP FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES TO THRIVE AND FLOURISH. 0 0 3972004 35830 403043 TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR WATER PROFESSIONALS: THE GLOBAL WATER SECTOR FACES A SHORTAGE OF MORE THAN 750,000 SKILLED WATER PROFESSIONALS, LIMITING THE RELIABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF SAFE WATER SERVICES. GWC ADDRESSES THIS GAP BY DELIVERING HANDS-ON, PRACTICAL TRAINING GROUNDED IN ADULT LEARNING PRINCIPLES AND REINFORCED THROUGH ONGOING SUPPORT. TRAINING IS DESIGNED TO BE EMBEDDED WITHIN INSTITUTIONAL SYSTEMS TO SUPPORT LONG-TERM CHANGE. THIS YEAR, GWC DELIVERED 10 ONLINE COURSES AND EIGHT IN-PERSON TRAININGS FOCUSED ON SOLAR POWERED WATER SYSTEMS DESIGN, OPERATIONS, AND MAINTENANCE. A TOTAL OF 1,638 PROFESSIONALS COMPLETED ONLINE COURSES, AND 318 PROFESSIONALS WERE TRAINED IN PERSON. ACROSS ALL COURSES, PARTICIPANTS REPORTED A 99 PERCENT RECOMMENDATION RATE, REFLECTING THE RELEVANCE AND PRACTICAL VALUE OF THE TRAINING. GWC'S HOLISTIC APPROACH SUPPORTS PROFESSIONALS ALREADY WORKING IN THE WATER SECTOR AND ESTABLISHES CLEAR PATHWAYS FOR NEW PROFESSIONALS TO ENTER THE FIELD. THIS APPROACH IS DEMONSTRATED THROUGH THE EAST AFRICA CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, A MULTI-YEAR INITIATIVE TO STRENGTHEN WATER SECTOR CAPACITY ACROSS TANZANIA, ZANZIBAR, UGANDA, KENYA, AND ETHIOPIA. THE PROGRAM BEGAN IN TANZANIA, WHERE GWC PARTNERED WITH THE NATIONAL RURAL WATER AGENCY TO LAUNCH A MULTI-YEAR TRAINING PROGRAM. BUILDING ON THIS FOUNDATION, THE PROGRAM IS EXPANDING ACROSS THE REGION. IN ZANZIBAR, GWC IS LAUNCHING VOCATIONAL CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT ALIGNED WITH NATIONAL PRIORITIES, CREATING A FORMAL PATHWAY FOR NEW PROFESSIONALS TO ENTER THE WATER SECTOR. PARTNERSHIPS ARE ADVANCING IN UGANDA, ETHIOPIA, AND KENYA. BY EQUIPPING WATER PROFESSIONALS WITH PRACTICAL SKILLS AND EMBEDDING TRAINING WITHIN INSTITUTIONS, THIS PROGRAM SUPPORTS LONG-TERM, SCALABLE WATER SERVICES. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND CARBON-BASED FINANCING FOR WATER SYSTEM SUSTAINABILITY:APPROXIMATELY 40 PERCENT OF RURAL WATER SYSTEMS FAIL WITHIN THE FIRST FIVE YEARS, OFTEN DUE TO GAPS IN TECHNICAL CAPACITY, OPERATIONS, AND LONG-TERM FINANCING. GWC ADDRESSES THESE CHALLENGES BY PROVIDING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND INNOVATIVE FINANCING SUPPORT TO IMPROVE WATER SYSTEM SUSTAINABILITY. DURING THE YEAR, GWC'S ENGINEERS AND SPECIALISTS SUPPORTED INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING, ENGINEERING DESIGN, DATA ANALYSIS, REMOTE MONITORING, AND SOLAR POWERED WATER SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED TO 24 NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN 21 COUNTRIES AND FOUR GOVERNMENT MINISTRIES. THIS WORK WAS OFTEN DELIVERED ALONGSIDE TRAINING PROGRAMS TO REINFORCE APPLIED LEARNING AND STRENGTHEN LONG-TERM SYSTEM PERFORMANCE. THIS PROGRAM ALSO INCLUDED CARBON-BASED FINANCING SUPPORT THROUGH CARBON 4 SAFE WATER AND UNITED CARBON 4 SAFE WATER, ENABLING WATER PROJECTS TO GENERATE VERIFIED CARBON CREDITS AND REINVEST REVENUE INTO SYSTEM OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE. ACTIVE ENGAGEMENTS CONTRIBUTED TO APPROXIMATELY 110,000 TONNES OF CARBON DIOXIDE EQUIVALENT IN ANNUALIZED OUTCOMES. GWC ALSO LAUNCHED THE CARBON AGGREGATOR PLATFORM IN UGANDA WITH FIVE INITIAL DEVELOPERS, EXPANDING ACCESS TO CARBON MARKETS FOR SMALLER ORGANIZATIONS. BY STRENGTHENING BOTH TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY, THIS PROGRAM REDUCES SYSTEM FAILURE RATES AND SUPPORTS LONG-TERM WATER SERVICE DELIVERY.CONVENING AND PARTNER ALIGNMENT FOR SCALABLE WATER SECTOR SOLUTIONS: WATER SECTOR INVESTMENTS ARE OFTEN LIMITED BY FRAGMENTATION ACROSS GOVERNMENTS, NONPROFITS, FUNDERS, AND IMPLEMENTING ORGANIZATIONS, AND NO SINGLE ACTOR CAN ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES ALONE. GWC ADDRESSES THIS REALITY BY CONVENING AND ALIGNING PARTNERS TO COORDINATE EFFORTS, SHARE KNOWLEDGE, AND DEVELOP COLLABORATIVE INITIATIVES THAT RESPOND TO SECTOR NEEDS. THIS YEAR, GWC CONVENED LEADERS FROM MORE THAN 35 WATER SECTOR ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH THE GATHERING: A WATER SECTOR ROUNDTABLE, CREATING SPACE FOR SHARED LEARNING, TRUST-BUILDING, AND PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT. GWC ALSO SUPPORTED MULTI-STAKEHOLDER PLANNING EFFORTS IN HONDURAS, WORKING WITH 24 ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS GOVERNMENT, CIVIL SOCIETY, AND TECHNICAL INSTITUTIONS TO DEVELOP A NATIONAL ROADMAP FOR STRENGTHENING RURAL WATER SERVICES. THIS COLLABORATIVE APPROACH STRENGTHENS COORDINATION, ENABLES WATER SOLUTIONS TO SCALE MORE EFFECTIVELY, AND SAVES LIVES. 3972004 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 20 0 26 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 SC X X MARGARET NICHOLS CFO 8432437371 1150 MOLLY GREENE WAY BLDG 1605 NORTH CHARLESTON SC 29405 GEORGE C GREENE III EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN 30.00 X X 0 0 0 CHARLES B YOUNG SECRETARY 8.00 X X 0 0 0 STEVE VANDERBOOM TREASURER 8.00 X X 0 0 0 THOMAS JOHNSTON CEO 45.00 X X 179408 0 10006 GEORGE C GREENE IV VICE CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 CHAPPY MCKAY BOARD MEMBER 8.00 X 0 0 0 TOM DUONG BOARD MEMBER 8.00 X 0 0 0 VIDA DUTY BOARD MEMBER 8.00 X 0 0 0 MARGARET NICHOLS CFO 45.00 X 59921 0 7337 PAMELA CRANE-HOOVER COO 45.00 X 118733 0 6108 ERIC WEI CARBON 4 SAFE WATER PRESIDENT 45.00 X 149477 0 11979 JOSEPH ALBIN SR.
