Water Resources: Bangladesh leveraged World Bank funds and a PPP model to
deliver safety water and hygienic sanitation to rural population
A
·
Context
Bangladesh's population density is among the highest in the world; 75%
of its population, or 109.3 million, live in rural areas
13% of the country's water sources have a 'dangerous' level of arsenic;
80% of sampled private piped-water was contaminated with E. coli
bacteria; other issues include water salinity, iron & other bacterial
pathogens
Quality sanitation coverage is another concern with 35% of the
country's latrines being identified as unclean
What did Bangladesh do?
The Government of Bangladesh (GoB) developed a National Sanitation
Strategy in 2005 to promote hygienic latrines
The GoB and the World Bank co-launched a project in 2012 to increase
the provision of safe water & hygienic sanitation in rural areas
⚫ The project adopted a Build-Operate-Transfer PPP model for the
construction of the piped water supply schemes
The private sector helped to strengthen the institutional and technical
capacity of the government to provide safe water and sanitation
