The Global Sanitation Fund (GSF) is a pooled global fund to boost expenditure on sanitation and hygiene to help large number of poor people to attain safe sanitation services and adopt good hygiene practices. It is estimated that 2.5 billion people, about 40% of the world population, do not have access to basic sanitation. The GSF offers an efficient and cost-effective opportunity for contributors to help the world’s poorest people access this most basic everyday need. The GSF is a programme of the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) and was launched in 2008.
GSF in Nepal started from 2010 for five years with the commitment to support the government for operationalization of Sanitation and Hygiene Master Plan 2011. The successful ongoing implementation of GSF Programme in Nepal in Six districts ( Bajura, Bardiya, Arghakhanchi, Sindhupalchowk, Sunsari and Bhaktapur ) and six muncipilities (Madhyapur Thimi, Gulariya, Tikapur, Bhaktapur, Ithari and Inaruwa ) in five developmental regions, has led towards expansion of the programme in 8 Terai districts (Parsa, Bara, Rautahat, Sarlahi, Mahottari, Dhanusha,Siraha and Saptari) and 1 mountain district Dolakha covering the timeframe upto 2017.
The expansion of the GSF program in Nepal aims to support the Government of Nepal to achieve national sanitation target of 100% coverage by 2017 by taking up the most challenging 8 Terai districts with low sanitation coverage. The campaign will follow the approach as prescribed by the National Sanitation and Hygiene Master Plan. Therefore, the campaign will be led by District Water Sanitation and Hygiene Coordination Committee (D-WASH- CCs), Village Development Committee (VDC) Level Water Sanitation and Hygiene Coordination Committee (V-WASH-CCs) and Municiapl Level Water Sanitation and Hygiene Coordination Committee (M-WASH-CC) with continuous and regular monitoring and follow up by Regional Water and Sanitation Coordination Committee (R-WASH-CCs ) and National Sanitation and Hygiene Coordination Commitee (NSHCC). UN-Habitat through its sub-grantees will provide support, to the respective D-WASH-CC and V/M-WASH-CC based on an agreed programme of action for implementing the Master Plan.
