The Sanitation Movement in Bangladesh and The Role of The Private Sector

Over the last two decades Bangladesh has made considerable improvements in rural sanitation. Between 1981 and 1992, sanitary latrine coverage increased from 1% to 33% and between 1992 and 2003, it increased from 33% to 48%. This is a result of the sanitation movement that has been conducted by national & international NGOs, donor agencies, the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) and the private sector.
