WASH for Urban Poor (Phase II)

About this project

This is a cooperation with WaterAid Bangladesh for the implementation of its project "WASH for Urban Poor (WASH4UP) Phase II." The support amounts to SEK 45 million and will last for three years, starting from April 2023 to March 2026. The WASH4UP Phase II project is a continuation of the previous WASH4UP initiative. The main goal of the "WASH4UP Phase II" project is "Improved environmental health and resilience of WASH-deprived urban poor living in slums and low-income settlements". To achieve this goal, the expected outcomes of the project are: Outcome 1: WASH deprivation reduced among target communities through increased WASH awareness and access to climate resilient and inclusive WASH services. Outcome 2: Local governance in gender transformative and inclusive pro-poor WASH service delivery and coordination with other services in target cities and towns improved. Outcome 3: National policies and strategies strengthened for climate resilient and universal WASH agenda through evidence and advocacy. The project's structure is based on two crucial areas of support: sector-level strengthening, primarily focusing on policy influence; and service-level support, which emphasizes service delivery to selected priority areas where the concentration of poverty is high. By strengthening both the sector and service levels, the project aims to create sustainable improvements in access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene practices.
