Welcome to the Peer Water Exchange
The Peer Water Exchange (PWX) is designed to handle thousands of grassroots water and sanitation projects around the world - from application, selection, funding, implementation, and impact analysis - transparently, efficiently, and effectively. Turning competition into collaboration, peers work together, learn from each other to create the greatest impact possible. Our goal is to make a real, big dent in the global water crisis and help as many people thirsting for safe drinking water.
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.
Dr. Peter Gleick
President, Pacific Institute

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. A participatory decision-making system that enables knowledge-sharing and 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.
