The Federal Ministry of Water Resources established the National Task Group on Sanitation (NTGS), the acting national WASH coalition, in 2007. The NTGS brings together ministries and government agencies as well as NGOs, donors and representatives of civil society and the media. The Coalition focuses on sanitation and hygiene promotion through advocacy, policy development, capacity building, and research. The Coalition also plays a role in strengthening decentralized coordination of sanitation work at state and local government levels.
