The Rotary theme of the month for March is: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Month

Building strong partnerships to revitalize Nigeria’s water, sanitation and hygiene sector

Nigeria is determined to tackle its water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) crisis!

Following the recent declaration of a State of Emergency in the sector by President Muhammadu Buhari, a National Action Plan (NAP) to revitalise the sector was launched. The high political will and commitment demonstrated is commendable and the delivery of this ambitious goal is largely hinged on strategic partnerships and financing.

WaterAid is excited to work with the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Federal Ministry of Water Resources to provide technical and capacity strengthening support to help end open defecation in Nigeria, and realize Sustainable Development Goal 6 – ensure clean water and sanitation for all. Together, we can make clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal for everyone, everywhere within a generation.
