Begun in 2007, Benin’s WASH Coalition comprises members from the government, NGOs, the Benin Water Partnership, and Municipal Development Partnership. Towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for sanitation and water, the coalition has initiated WASH programmes in schools and villages in Grand-Popo; raised the profile of WASH issues among the public and journalists; and published Livre Bleu, an advocacy and monitoring report – an important tool to ensure Benin implements the eThekwini Declaration from AfricaSan+5.
