The Goma West Water Project, launched by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in 2019, is now catalysing investments and reshaping how humanitarian actors respond at scale in fragile settings using blended finance.
Through a strategic mix of grants, partnerships, and long-term planning, the ICRC helped turn a CHF 40 million essential service gap into a multi-actor blended finance project that will bring sustainable water access to 2.5 million people in eastern DRC.
This document outlines the rationale for the Goma West Resilient Water Supply Project (GWWP) to develop urban infrastructure in fragile settings.
