WASH and Climate - Policy and financing disconnects in Bangladesh

Our learning highlights the disconnects of policy and climate finance that exists in the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, and Climate sectors of Bangladesh. We believe that water and climate change are complementary, and measures to tackle the changes associated with it must have a working synergy in Bangladesh.

The WASH and climate: Policy and financing (dis) connects in Bangladesh is a report highlighting various gaps and challenges that exist in the climate and WASH policy landscape in Bangladesh. This report was developed as a joint initiative by the International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD) and WaterAid Bangladesh. 

To highlight the various disconnects that exist WaterAid and ICCCAD focused on providing insights on how to:

• Create and implement climate-resilient WASH policies
• Ensure inclusive management of water resources and infrastructures
• Properly allocate and use funds for sustainable WASH services
