Description
Description

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.

Destination 2030, or D30, is Water For People, Water For Good, IRC’s joint vision to accelerate progress in reaching this milestone. We believe that billions of lives can and must be transformed with sustainable access to water and sanitation. SDG 6 demands that every country has systems that raise the standard of service delivery, while also relentlessly seeking solutions for the unserved.

Destination 2030 identifies three impact pathways to achieve SDG 6 (collectively known as "D30 Goals"): 

1. Local – increasing local water, sanitation, and hygiene systems to improve services for more than 20 million people in districts; 

2. National – strengthening national water, sanitation, and hygiene systems to improve services for more than 200 million people; 

3. Global – challenging the status quo, to influence leaders and support people and organizations to find ways to deeply influence and contribute to transformational change in how WASH services are provided to two billion people globally. 

 

Destination 2030 has identified six desired outcomes to achieve both the Human Right to Water and Sanitation and our Impact Targets: 

1. High level political will for universal and sustainable access to water and sanitation services drives accelerated progress toward SDG 6. 

2. Key actors have the capacity to improve planning, service provision, and regulation. 

3. Secure finance for the sector achieves SDG 6 and increases the value of public and private investments in resilient water, sanitation, and hygiene. 

4. Citizens demand higher levels of service, more can pay their rates, and there are subsidies for those who cannot pay. 

5. Collective action drives transformative change through stronger and more effective partnerships within and beyond the water, sanitation, and hygiene sector. 

6. Organizational change supports Destination 2030. Our approaches using research, innovation, data, technical know-how, advocacy, influence, and co-investment of rate payers and government all help strengthen the WASH systems in which we work and seek to improve. 

The intermediate outcomes lead to greater impact through people reached with improved services at the local, national, and global levels – our 2030 long term outcomes. This is all done with an unwavering focus on SDG 6 that is closing the gap for the 2+ billion people in the world that still live without sustainable water and sanitation services.

Expected Impact

Fundamentally, the world is changing; WASH must change, too. The WASH sector is still too siloed and fragmented, we believe that a radically different approach is needed; our Destination 2030 alliance is our commitment to challenge ourselves to model a new, collaborative, joined-up way of working. We believe that a collective action approach that changes business as usually will finally solve this challenge by connecting big, disruptive ideas with real, operational delivery. We envision Destination 2030 to be rooted in: 1. Synergistic Strengths – Water For People is a globally recognized leader in helping deliver universal and sustainable services, and a facilitator of sanitation market systems development at the local and national levels. IRC is a globally recognized WASH systems champion at the international level and strengthened at the national level. Water for Good is tackling water poverty in one of the world’s most forgotten countries – the Central Africa Republic. The organisation have long inspired the global WASH sector to think big even in fragile states, with a commitment to working with local, permanent institutions to create sustainable services at scale. We aspire to do more at the global level. In fact, these aspirations form the impact pathways of our Destination 2030 vision. In addition, our combined footprint in 16 focus countries means we can have greater impact working together in these countries – and eventually expand to more countries. 2. Collective Action – We have a better chance of achieving our Destination 2030 vision if we work with partners versus working alone. In fact, we will eventually welcome other partners to join us. Ideal alliance partners will be those who excel in helping develop sustainable WASH services in countries where we do not already work, and who also desire to be part of a global alliance. 3. Changing Ourselves – We are in the process of adapting our business models towards more decentralized management and governance structures aligned with the key principle of subsidiarity – what can be done locally should be. We believe our leadership, decision-making processes, and organizational structures need to better reflect and represent the people and places where we work, while delivering our work with local, national, and global legitimacy.
