BRAC WASH Programmes

BRAC in Bangladesh started its Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programme in 2006 in partnership with the Government. The programme provides sustainable and integrated WASH services to over 37 million people in the rural areas and aims to break the contamination cycle of unsanitary latrines, contaminated water and unsafe hygiene practices, as well as ensure sustainability and scaling-up of WASH services. IRC has provided support on design, capacity building and implementation of the programme, which is carried out with financial support of the Dutch Government, DFID and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
