Business Wire
Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK) announced today that the U.S.
Agency for International Development (USAID) has awarded the
Company a $29 million, single-award contract to establish improved
water supply, sanitation, and hygiene in priority countries within
sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. Under the five-year Water,
Sanitation, and Hygiene Partnerships and Learnings for
Sustainability project, Tetra Tech will work with USAID’s Global
Health Bureau to increase access to clean water and promote
improved sanitation behaviors in rural areas.
Nearly one-third of the world’s population—and in particular
women and children—lacks access to proper sanitation facilities and
clean water resources. Tetra Tech will support USAID and local
governments in 24 high-priority countries by providing short-term
technical assistance and developing and testing new technologies to
address sanitation and water resource issues. Through the use of
innovative techniques and operational research activities, Tetra
Tech will identify best practices to promote better hygiene
behaviors and rural sanitation with the goal of improving access to
water resources, services, and infrastructure.
“Tetra Tech has 50 years of thought leadership in the water
sector. We provide innovative, sustainable solutions to our
clients’ most pressing water and environmental issues,” said Dan
Batrack, Tetra Tech Chairman and CEO. “We are pleased to continue
to support USAID’s mission to promote increased access to clean
water and improved sanitation in developing countries.”
