WaterAid Bangladesh, in partnership with the Embassy of Sweden in Bangladesh, has launched the second phase of their “WASH for Urban Poor (WASH4UP) project” called WASH4UP Phase II project, aiming at improving the environmental health and resilience of certain urban regions in Bangladesh.

Maria Stridsman, Head of Development Cooperation and Deputy Head of Mission of the Embassy of Sweden in Dhaka, and Hasin Jahan, WaterAid’s Country Director in Bangladesh, signed the agreement on behalf of the respective organizations on Wednesday at the Embassy of Sweden located in Gulshan, Dhaka, said a press release issued on Sunday.

The three-year project will be implemented in Dhaka, Chattogram, Khulna, Paikgachha, Sakhipur, and Saidpur, and will focus on institutionalizing best practices already established in previous years.
