Godavari Initiative Enters Next Phase with Coca-Cola Support

The Godavari Initiative (TGI) in India has entered its next phase of collective water action, supported by The Coca-Cola Foundation as the new Basin Champion. This move marks a significant step forward for TGI, which began two years ago with Diageo India's support as the first Basin Champion.

The initiative has made significant progress over the past two years, building an ecosystem of partners and developing its Impact Aggregator to bring together interventions, organizations, and evidence on a common basin-level view. TGI has also strengthened standardization around Nature-based Solutions and integrated frameworks like RECAP4NDC to improve alignment between landscape interventions and national climate and resilience priorities.

The next phase will focus on deeper on-ground action, stronger government convergence, basin intelligence, Nature-based Solutions, collaborative investment pathways, and measurable outcomes across priority landscapes. The initiative aims to develop a working, scalable, and replicable collective action model for river basins across India.
