What we do
We change the lives of millions of urban residents in low- and middle-income countries by optimizing the operations and finances of water and sanitation utilities.
Creating Cities — and a World — Where People Thrive
The Case For Urban WASH
In Africa, one in three people are currently affected by water scarcity. By 2030, half of all Africans will live in cities and towns, further straining already limited water resources and infrastructure as the demand for water and sanitation service increases.
ROCKBlue is helping to create a more water-secure future by supporting water utilities that supply safely-managed clean water to local communities through:
Technical Assistance: Grounded by decades of specialized WASH industry expertise, we bring together collaborative partnerships and real-world solutions.
Training: ROCKBlue has trained utility managers in six sub-Saharan African countries whose services impact more than 20 million lives. And our Online Lecture Series (OLS) knowledge-sharing initiative has reached WASH professionals in more than 50 countries.
Tools: One of the primary tools is the Performance Achievement Workshop Series (PAWS), events for sharing guidance, case studies and lessons learned to help our utility partners address key challenges and short- and long-term goals.
How We Tackle the Global Water Crisis With Our Unique Approach
Informed by decades of local, on-the-ground experience in low- and middle-income countries, our roster of WASH specialists maximizes our ability to affect change through proven real-world solutions, utility management and technical expertise, sustainable financing, and collaborative partnerships. Built on the belief that solutions to cities' greatest water challenges start from within, we establish trust and cultivate relationships with local partners guided by deep connections to their communities, cultures, and systems.
