The Central Asia and South Caucasus Water Utilities Association (CASCWUA) is a new organization of water utilities committed to improving its members' performance in the delivery of water services. Launched at a conference in Almaty, Kazakhstan in November 2007, CASCWUA is composed water utilities from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
At the Almaty conference, CASCWUA member utilities agreed on the objectives and activities of the network, including performance benchmarking, twinning, and capacity development. They have committed to taking progressive action to tackle the widespread problems with inadequate drinking water and sanitation for the millions of poor people in the region.
