Coca-Cola Wins UN Award for Tanzania Water Restoration Project

Coca-Cola Kwanza has received the United Nations Business Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Award 2026 from the Global Compact Network Tanzania (GCNT) for its water stewardship project in Tanzania.

The award recognizes a project that is part of the Coca-Cola system's Africa Water Stewardship Initiative, which aims to address critical water-related challenges in local communities across 20 African countries by 2030.

In Tanzania, the initiative involves a $1.94 million investment focused on restoring the Ruvu Basin, a vital water source for Dar es Salaam residents and a lifeline for communities, farms, and businesses across eastern Tanzania.

The project is a joint effort involving the Coca-Cola system in Tanzania, Global Water Challenge, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the Wami-Ruvu Basin Water Board.
