Abuja Nigeria, 1 June 2021 - WaterAid Nigeria and the National Water Resources Institute (NWRI) have signed a three-year partnership to deliver equitable sustainable total sanitation at scale in Nigeria. The partnership will combine the water, sanitation, and hygiene expertise of WaterAid and the training expertise of the NWRI to improve and systemically support sector capacity for sanitation programme design and development in Nigeria.

WaterAid has joined a team of experts from around the world to establish a definition of menstrual health that comprehensively addresses the needs of people who menstruate to advance gender equality and global health.

WaterAid Nigeria is calling for the country’s Minister of Health, Honourable Dr Osagie Ehanire, to prioritise basic hygiene for health care facilities as part of the COVID-19 pandemic recovery plan.

As G20 finance ministers meet to discuss how they will build back from the pandemic, WaterAid is urging global leaders to spend at least $1.2 billion now on an investment which will pay for itself.
