E-WASH is working to create a favorable enabling environment for urban WASH sector reforms in select states, focused on policy, legal, institutional and regulatory frameworks.
As part of this, E-WASH is aiming to have select SWBs ready for investments (“finance-ready”), which requires not only utility-level reform but also transformation of the environment in which they exist. Sustained sector reform requires strengthened policy, legal, institutional, and regulatory frameworks; and a shift in mindset of both politicians and the people they serve: the consumers.

E-WASH is seeking to issue grant(s) to local non-US organizations including I) large youth-led and women-led organizations, 2) business development service providers and non-governmental organizations, and 3) tertiary institutions for the purpose of implementing scalable innovative solutions to strengthen urban WASH governance and operations. E-WASH has a strong interest in leveraging the expertise of new and underutilized partners.
E-WASH is working to establish or deepen accountability mechanisms between the State government and the service providers through both supply and demand-side accountability measures. Furthermore, interventions under this activity will include efforts to better understand how sanitation is addressed (or not addressed) in the states. So far, under E-WASH support, all participating state water utilities are mandated to handle sanitation (i.e. sewage/wastewater). There may be opportunities to help utilities achieve economies of scale and incorporate urban sanitation into the regular operations of the State’s water utilities.
