USAID/Nigeria has awarded RTI International the Effective Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Services (E-WASH) program, which will work to ensure sustainable water services through better governance and accountability, as well as policy, institutional, and regulatory reform. The program will assist the Government of Nigeria to expand and improve urban water service delivery by strengthening the governance, financial and technical viability of select State Water Boards (SWBs).
The E-WASH program aims to improve performance of six SWBs by strengthening core financial and operational capabilities to increase services, attract outside investment, and reduce water losses throughout the system.
SEGURA, as subcontractors to RTI, supports Components 2 (Improving financial and operational viability of SWBs) and 3 (strengthening policy, institutional and regulatory frameworks for improved WASH services).
