The existing WASH policy, developed in the Year 2011 of Original Policy, has served as a guiding framework for the sector.

  • Align the policy with sub national, National, and international WASH standards and frameworks. (Domesticated M&E Framework and African Sanitation Policy Guidelines)
  • Develop a revised WASH policy to ensure its relevance and effectiveness in WASH Service delivery.

The review of the Bauchi State WASH policy is a critical step towards ensuring that the policy remains relevant and effective in addressing current and emerging challenges in the WASH sector.
