Aim — The Bank-Netherlands Water Partnership (BNWP) is a program to improve delivery of water supply and sanitation services to the poor. BNWP enhances performance of World Bank operations in the water supply and sanitation sector and supports a broad sector reform agenda with a strong poverty focus. BNWP supports the international effort to reach the Millennium Development Goals, especially to halve – by 2015 - the proportion of people without access to safe water and basic sanitation.

More information — The Bank-Netherlands Water Partnership analyzes the applicability of new management models and pilots them in the field. A panorama of management options will need to be applied within a country or a region to serve all with adequate WSS services. The introduction of new management models includes awareness building and evaluation of lessons learned.
