Welcome to WaterSHED, a unique Global Development Alliance. This effort is led by the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health and supported by USAID's Regional Development Mission-Asia (RDMA).

WaterSHED, which stands for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Enterprise Development, is a public-private partnership designed to bring effective, affordable water and sanitation products to market in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Providing affordable and desirable water and sanitation products increases adoption and proper use rates among the poor. Using proven, market-based principles, WaterSHED leverages the power of private enterprise to bring water, health and wealth to the people of Southeast Asia.
