Welcome to the Peer Water Exchange
The world's first and only scalable and map-driven platform in the water sector, PWX has received recognition for its design to make a visible dent in the global water crisis. A unique participatory decision-making network of partners, PWX combines people, process, and technology to manage water and sanitation projects around the world - from application, selection, funding, implementation, and impact assessment. Easy to navigate and use through both maps and text, PWX is transparent, efficient, and effective. PWX helps competitors become collaborators, working together to learn and share, and jointly create the greatest impact possible.
What I've seen so far looks tremendous. I've seen nothing else like it, and think it offers serious potential for improving transparency, information available to users, and the ability to understand what really works in the real world.

Unlike a vaccine, solutions to rural unsafe water problems involve community organization, appropriate technology, hygiene, sanitation, transfer of ownership, change in behaviour, and long-term maintenance. And we need a solution for hundreds of thousands of rural communities. The solutions are available today; what was missing was the infrastructure to select, fund, manage, monitor, and share thousands of grassroots, community projects - until PWX.

PWX is scalable - it scales local solutions to the size of the global water problem. An empowering human network that enforces collaboration, PWX increases the number of expert resources at very low cost to efficiently, transparently, and effectively manage thousands of projects.
BPR's initiative to use a peer review process to assess and approve water and sanitation projects is bold in its conception and inclusive in its method. Bringing in organizations and individuals in different parts of the world to the process of project selection and approval is both transparent and cost effective. Other organizations supporting water and sanitation projects may well have something to learn from this approach.
