About this Directory
The Water & Sanitation Resource Directory brings together useful external platforms, evaluation tools, data portals, toolboxes and knowledge networks relevant to water and sanitation practitioners, utilities, policymakers and researchers.
Each entry includes a short description so you can quickly understand what the resource offers and how it may support your work. Click through to visit the external platform directly. This page is intended as a practical gateway — not a replacement for the original sites.
Resources cover global, regional (Latin America & Caribbean) and Caribbean-focused initiatives. New entries can be suggested to the CWWA Secretariat.
