Tetra Tech, a leading provider of high-end consulting and engineering services, announced that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has awarded the Company a $72.5 million, single-award, five-year contract to increase access to financing for climate-resilient water and sanitation services.

Globally, hundreds of millions of people lack access to basic drinking water, and more than a billion people lack access to basic sanitation services. Through the USAID Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Finance 2 (WASH-FIN 2) activity, Tetra Tech will work with government and financial institutions, development partners, service providers, and local stakeholders to mobilize the financing required to expand WASH services. Tetra Tech water resources and infrastructure experts will support water service providers to improve climate resilience and strengthen their business models through data-driven decision-making.
