Countries / Asia / Bangladesh / Global Sanitation Fund programme

The Government of Bangladesh responded positively to the invitation of the Global Sanitation Fund to develop a programme of work for funding. In doing so they nominated two high level officials from the Ministry of local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives and the Department of Public Health Engineering to lead the GSF’s Programme Coordinating Mechanism (PCM). Following a number of meetings and wider consultations, the Government formally constituted the PCM in October 2011. The Country Programme Proposal (CPP) is currently under review by WSSCC. It is expected that the final CPP for Bangladesh will be completed during 2012, and at that time will be put forward for approval by WSSCC’s Executive Director and placed for selection in a future funding round of the GSF.
