Environmental Infrastructure

Access to clean water, safe sanitation, and effective waste management is essential for public health and economic development. Without these basic services, communities face serious health risks and reduced quality of life.

While public utilities play a central role, well-designed public-private partnerships (PPPs) can help expand access more quickly and efficiently. In some contexts, private sector involvement brings valuable resources, innovation, and operational expertise.

IFC works with governments to structure sustainable PPPs that improve water & sanitation (bulk water, desalination, wastewater, sanitation, utilities) and waste management and waste-to-energy services. By leveraging private capital and capabilities, these partnerships help deliver reliable, affordable solutions to the people who need them most.
