SURWASH

Mission & Objectives

Sustainable Urban and Rural Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (SURWASH) programme aims to increase access to water, sanitation, and hygiene services and to strengthen sector institutions in participating states of Nigeria.

Surwash aims to provide clean water for at least 80 million Nigerians, based on the following objectives:

increase access to water
increase access to Sanitation
increase access to hygiene services

Core values

SURWASH is a proposed Program in partnership with the World bank, in the amount of US$700 million to support the Government of Nigeria (GoN) in the implementation of the National Action Plan for the Revitalization of Nigeria’s Water Supply, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Sector (the ‘National Action Plan’ or NAP). As described by the NAP, Nigeria’s WASH sector requires a paradigm shift to move beyond the low access rates and poor service quality that continue to plague its people. While previous projects have financed infrastructure and supported policy and institutional development, much of the sector’s infrastructure are poorly utilized, its policies are seldom operationalized, and its institutions remain weak. This Program, consisting of a US$640 million Program-for-Results (PforR) with a US$60 million Investment Project Financing (IPF) component, introduces a results-based approach with the potential to propel Nigeria’s efforts to ensure that all its people have access to sustainable and safely managed WASH services. It introduces an innovative approach to sector programming that leverages incentives to simultaneously deliver infrastructure that works, policies that govern, and institutions that sustain. The technical assistance (TA) provided under the IPF component will address critical institutional development and capacity gaps within implementing agencies. The Program is fully aligned with the World Bank 2021–25 Country Partnership Framework for Nigeria, as well as Nigeria’s Economic Reform and Growth Plan for 2017–20 and the Government’s Economic Sustainability Plan (ESP) to respond to the economic crisis induced by COVID-19.
