RFP WASH Accounts for Bangladesh: Tracking Financing of sanitation, hygiene, and drinking water at the national level Pre-bid meeting Zarif Iftekhar Rasul Faysal Abbas 05 October 2020
Sector Context - Fragmented financing • In Bangladesh, allocation and spending on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) is fragmented across multiple ministries. • Other sector actors, including local government institutions, NGOs, development partners, as well as households are also involved in WASH financing. • Sector actors including WaterAid and UNICEF have been analyzing WASH allocation in national budget. • However, a comprehensive picture of WASH expenditure is needed for evidence-based, targeted planning, policymaking and programming to achieve the SDG 6 targets.
