 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.
The first phase of the program closed its four-year cycle in June 2006. Aftern an evaluation of the program was performed, the Government of the Netherlands funded the second phase of BNWP with USD 8 million. The second phase began implementation on July 1, 2006 and will run unitl March 31, 2006.
