Infrastructure is the foundation of an inclusive society, helps reduce poverty and improves quality of life. Infrastructure investment is directly linked to economic growth and can mean the difference between resilience and catastrophe in a crisis. 

Access to safe drinking water and sanitation reduces mortality and morbidity; improves economic productivity; and empowers the most at-risk populations, particularly girls and women. Palladium aims to alleviate extreme poverty and improve the well-being of people by scaling up access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene. We use a multi-faceted approach that operates on many levels – policy and political will, civil society advocacy, and private sector involvement – working with various stakeholders to implement high-impact, evidence-based solutions. 

We address issues of water resources within the context of climate change and social inclusion, and, where appropriate, we leverage public-private partnerships and social marketing initiatives to harness the power of the market for positive social impacts.
