Great to see that our former Innovation Fund grantee @loowatt formalised its partnership with the Municipality of Antananarivo and will extend sustainable and safe public toilet services to an additional 50,000 people in the city: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…
Great blog on where we are with that whole "Uber for water" question. I think it points to the need to invest in building better tools for decentralized (and centralized!) utility service providers to get more consumer level data.
Our new blog from @zach_whitewater, explores the market dynamics in key utility sectors, implications for the use of #digital platforms, some examples of platform models already deployed and how we might see these scale in the coming years 👉 ow.ly/54Z350IR1Fb #UKAid

Great to have our paper published by @StanfordWoods as part of the Water Data Dialogues series. In our contribution, we focus on how digital innovations can help attract financing in urban water service delivery:
