NIGERIA SUSTAINABLE URBAN AND RURAL WATER SUPPLY, SANITATION AND HYGIENE PROGRAMME (NG-SURWASH)

REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTERESTS FOR CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR DEVELOPING A NATIONAL WATER,

SANITATION & HYGIENE (WASH) POLICY FOR NIGERIA

Country: Nigeria

Project Title: NG Sustainable Urban and Rural Water Supply, Sanitation & Hygiene (SURWASH) Programme

Credit No.: IDA 6882-NG

Assignment Title: Consultancy Services for Developing a National WASH Policy for Nigeria

Reference No.: SURWASH/FPIU/CS/CQS/2023/02

The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) has received USD$700M financing from the World Bank towards the cost of the Nigeria Sustainable Urban & Rural Water Supply, Sanitation & Hygiene (SURWASH) Programme and intends to apply part of the proceeds for the Consultancy Services for Developing a National WASH Policy for Nigeria. The policy will be developed in collaboration with Federal Ministry of Environment, Federal Ministry of Health and other stakeholders.

Access to Water supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) services in the country has recorded marginal improvement over the years, with variations across locations, regions and wealth quintiles. Access to basic drinking water services increased from 40% in 1990 to 70% in 2019 with current access estimated at 67% and safely managed services at 13% (JMP, 2015; WASHNORM 2021). The increase in access to water supply services between 1990 and 2019 was more substantial in rural areas (from 25% to 61%) than in urban areas (from 76% to 92%), while the dip between 2019 and 2021 was more in urban areas (from 92% to 86%) than in rural areas (from 61% to 57%). In the context of fast urbanization, utility service provision in urban areas has been unsustainable, as illustrated by the big drop in the proportion of households with access to ‘piped water to premises’ down from 32% in 1990 to 7% in 2019.

Access to basic sanitation services increased from 38% in 1990 to 46% in 2021 with safely managed services at 18% and rural populations less likely to have access. It is estimated that only 6.1 percent of the urban population is connected to sewers and open defecation practice stands at 23% in average with 8% and 31% in urban and rural areas respectively. Basic hygiene services, an indicator under the Sustainable Development Goal Target 6.2 measured by availability of handwashing facility with water and soap, is estimated at 17% in 2021 with higher access in urban areas (25%) than rural areas (13%).
