Department of Public Health Engineering - Bangladesh
Partner
Being established in 1936, the Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE) has been working as the national lead agency for the provision of safe drinking water supply and waste management in the country, excepting Dhaka, Narayanganj, Rajshahi, Khulna and Chittagong cities where WASAs operate. With the challenges generated by the discovery of arsenic in shallow groundwater in rural areas since its first detection in 1993, DPHE with its development partners is trying to ameliorate/alleviate the sufferings caused by the lack of safe water supply. Alternative options for safe water supply are being catered/provided in worse affected areas.
Similarly, for excreta and other waste management, DPHE is implementing different projects to achieve an improved environment.

Aqua for All
Partner
Aqua for All is a foundation operating primarily in Africa and Asia. For over two decades, we have worked towards catalysing an innovative, sustainable and inclusive water and sanitation economy worldwide.
We believe that innovation, scalable solutions, and public and private capital are needed to bridge the service and financial gap to achieve SDG 6 – Water and sanitation for all.
We use grants to accelerate providing access to water and sanitation to low-income households and institutions. We do this by supporting innovations and scaling up enterprises until they are investment ready, without distorting the market. In addition, we use our funds to mobilise private and public capital to increase investments in water and sanitation.
We are Making Water Count!
