Summary

Research was conducted to investigate the government budgeting process for WASH, analyse the extent to which budgeted resources have been utilized and where the money has been spent, and to compare WASH sector budgets to other social and economic sectors. Among the findings: the budget is under resourced, underutilized, and overly ambitious, and the government should place a premium on health, sanitation, and hygiene as much as it prioritizes roads, food security, and safety.

About the author

The Liberian WASH Coalition began in 2008. It lobbies the government and donors for policy change and financial support for WASH. Alongside, the coalition works to educate and mobilize the public around WASH issues. The coalition organized five WASH forums in 2009 to raise awareness of the issues, and foster partnerships between civil society, community members, and government officials.
