Bangladesh

Around 75% of Bangladesh’s population has access to improved drinking water services, and the country is doubling efforts in providing sanitation services to the rural poor, drainage improvements, and flood management. Quite prominent in these efforts are nongovernment organizations whose participation makes for a more vibrant national water sector committed to providing water for all.
