The World Bank has approved a $700 million dollar loan for the Nigeria Sustainable Urban and Rural Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene Programme (SURWASH).<\/p>\n

It made the announcement in a statement on its website in Washington D. C. on Thursday.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, the credit will provide six million people with basic drinking water services and 1.4 million people access to improved sanitation services.<\/p>\n

It would also deliver improved Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) services to 2,000 schools and Health Care Facilities and assist 500 communities to achieve open defecation-free status.<\/p>\n

These would be implemented as part of the Federal Government\u2019s National Action Plan (NAP) for the revitalisation of Nigeria\u2019s water supply, sanitation, and hygiene sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2019, approximately 60 million Nigerians were living without access to basic drinking water services, 80 million without access to improved sanitation facilities and 167 million without access to a basic handwashing facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn rural areas, 39 per cent of households lack access to at least, basic water supply services, while only half have access to improved sanitation and almost a third (29 per cent) practice open defecation, a fraction that has marginally changed since 1990,\u201d said the statement.<\/p>\n

The bank, however, said in recent years, the Federal Government had strengthened its commitment toward improving access to WASH services, spurred on by the need for Nigeria\u2019s WASH sector to catch up with its regional counterparts.<\/p>\n

This, it said, led to the government declaring a state of emergency in 2018 and launching NAP aimed at ensuring universal access to sustainable and safely managed WASH services by 2030, commensurate with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n

It also said the programme would support NAP which was a 13-year strategy prioritising action within three phases.<\/p>\n

They are Emergency Plan, Recovery Plan and Revitalisation Strategy and also the Clean Nigeria; Use the Toilet Campaign which aims to have Nigeria free of open defecation by 2025.<\/p>\n

Shubham Chaudhuri, World Bank<\/a> Country Director for Nigeria, said the programme\u2019s centrality to the human capital agenda and its potential to influence key human capital outcomes could not be overemphasised.<\/p>\n

He said this was because access to WASH was an important determinant of human capital outcomes, including early childhood survival, nutrition, health, learning and women\u2019s empowerment, all of which in turn affected labour productivity and efficiency.<\/p>\n

\u201cParticipating states will be able to improve access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will help to keep more girls in school, create employment and reduce open defecation, while developing greater resilience to the impact of climate change and conflicts between different land and water users,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The SURWASH programme is performance-based and participation is open to all states in Nigeria based on their commitment to specific reforms in the sector.<\/p>\n

It would support the Federal Government to enact necessary policy reforms and usher incentives for state and local governments, service providers, technical assistance providers and community-based organisations to effectively deliver sustainable services in the sector.
\nThe bank said it would also support a package of investments to expand access to and increase the use of WASH services in urban, small towns and rural areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpecifically, the programme will support the development of infrastructure to improve water supply service delivery, sanitation and hygiene in institutions (schools and healthcare facilities) and public places such as markets, motor parks and others,\u201d said the bank.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the 700 million dollar credit is from the bank\u2019s International Development Association (IDA).<\/p>\n

It is a body which helps the world\u2019s poorest countries by providing grants and low to zero-interest loans for projects and programs that boost economic growth, reduce poverty and improve poor people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
