clarify areas of synergy and collaboration; develop framework and action plan for MDAs responsible for WASH services improvement in the state and identify as well as agree on areas of priority for WCP intervention.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, the State\u2019s Commissioner of Water Resources, Suleiman Aliyu Lere, an engineer, noted that the state recognizes the strategic importance of water and sanitation as critical enablers of good health, human survival, growth and development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government also acknowledges that existing level of water supply and sanitation services is not satisfactory. It therefore intends to streamline, in a logical and coherent manner, the institutional and operational mechanisms for water supply and sanitation services in the state to promote sustainable development of the sub-sector,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the ministry and its agencies have adopted a policy that is predicated on the provision of sufficient potable water and adequate sanitation to the residents of the state, in an affordable and sustainable manner, through participatory investment by the federal, State and local governments, private sector, development agencies and communities.<\/p>\n<p>In his address, the Chief of Party, WASH Coordination Project, Mr. Timeyin Uwejamomere, said WCP, is a 24-month project financed by USAID, which plans to achieve the dual benefits of improved health and well-being for Nigerians through increased and more financially sustainable access to WASH services, and to build the confidence of the public in the government\u2019s ability to deliver basic services.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that WCP builds on prior work under the Sustainable Water and Sanitation Programme in Africa (SUWASA) that focused on improved water services in Bauchi, Ebonyi and Rivers States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe project primarily target urban challenges with a focus in the States of Bauchi and Kaduna, where government officials have demonstrated firm commitment to sector improvement, and where WASH service gaps remain acute,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a hre=\"http:\/\/guardian.ng\/property\/kaduna-state-usaid-plan-new-reform-for-urban-water-sanitation-services\/\"> Guardian <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chief of Party, USAID WASH Coordination Project, Mr. Timeyin Uwejamomere (left);
