WASH Accounts for Bangladesh: Tracking Financing of sanitation, hygiene, and drinking water at the national level

05 October 2020 Pre-bid meeting Zarif Iftekhar Rasul Faysal Abbas

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.
