INTRODUCING ONE FOR ALL

2030 — the United Nations deadline for Sustainable Development Goals — is no longer a distant target. And no single organization will end the global water crisis on its own.

Solving for SDG 6 (water and sanitation for  all) requires urgent, innovative, collective action and a new way of doing things. Founded in 2021, One For All is a global alliance working across 15 countries. 

We can go faster and further, together.

SDG 6: WATER AND SANITATION FOR ALL

Sustainable Development Goals intersect and overlap in their pursuit of justice, peace and prosperity for all: Action toward one goal affects outcomes in other goals.

One For All works with local and national governments and regional and global institutions to implement lasting climate-resilient water and sanitation systems. We also reach beyond our sector to build alliances with leaders in health, climate, economic development, education and equality.

COLLECTIVE ACTION

What drives us is accelerating change through systems strengthening, collective action and holding ourselves collectively accountable. Each member has complimentary skillsets that, when combined, allow us to move further, faster.

One For All members are all committed to a joint strategy and monitoring system, and we’re very focused on collaborating with local, subnational, and national governments and regional and global institutions to develop lasting climate-resilient water and sanitation systems.

WHERE WE WORK

The One For All alliance currently works in 15 countries, across 4 continents.

CASE STUDY: MALAWI

MAKING SMART USE OF FUNDING, THROUGH A CLIMATE-RESILIENT WASH FINANCING STRATEGY
Less than 3 percent of climate financing is spent on adapting systems and behaviors, and only a small fraction of that goes to water, sanitation and hygiene. This flow of money must change urgently to build people’s resilience to droughts, floods, landslides and water-borne diseases. In Malawi, this resilience can’t come soon enough.
