Deadline: 15 June, 2020
The USAID Effective Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (E-WASH) Programme aims to build the capacity of core partner civil society organisations (CSOs) that are receiving and managing grants from the Programme in line with the USAID Forward initiative. Toward this, E-WASH is seeking to partner with eligible CSOs, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), Nigerian institutions of higher learning, and/or for-profit entities to build the capacity of its partner CSOs in the intervention states.
The overall objective of the USAID E-WASH Programme is to assist the GON to expand and improve urban water service delivery by strengthening the governance, financial and technical viability of selected State Water Boards (SWBs) in Nigeria. The Programme will concentrate on solidifying state, municipal and utility-level governance gain which will manifest in improved water supply services, and improve the ability to regulate, manage, and expand sanitation services.
These efforts align with the USAID Water and Development Strategy (WDS) 2013/2018 strategic objective to improve health outcomes through the provision of sustainable WASH. They also align with the USAID Nigeria Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) which seeks to strengthen good governance, improve responsiveness of selected government institutions and increase capacity for civic advocacy, monitoring and engagement.
