RCD Bangladesh
Overview - RCD Bangladesh
The water and sanitation sector in Bangladesh is facing many challenges. Recurrent natural calamities make it extremely difficult for the sector to provide sufficient sustainable facilities for all. To this date numerous programmes have been undertaken and implemented. In order to make new investments effective, it is felt necessary to have clear information on achievements made so far. Such a type of information base can also highlight the need for rehabilitation and consolidation of earlier programmes. By taking into account lessons learnt from previous interventions, the sector can make priority plans for the mid and long term. A Resource Centre is created to make all information required by the sector readily available.
