The Cox's Bazar district in Bangladesh has undergone a significant transformation since the influx of
Rohingya refugees (FDMN1
) from Myanmar.
Affected Person (AP): means and includes any person, households (HHs), firms or private institutions that,
on account of changes resulting from the project, will have their (i) standard of living adversely affected;
(ii) right, title, or interest in any house, land (including residential, commercial, agricultural, forest, and/or
grazing land), water resources, or any other moveable or fixed assets acquired, possessed, restricted, or
otherwise adversely affected, in full or in part, permanently or temporarily; and/or (iii) business,
occupation, place of work or residence, or habitat adversely affected, with physical or economic
displacement.
Sector-Wide Approach (SWAp) emerged in the 1990s globally to improve aid delivery to a
sector-specific umbrella tied to a defined sector policy under the respective government
leadership and ownership. In Bangladesh, there are two SWAps in practice: one in the
health sector, and the other in the primary education sector. These SWAps provide
lessons for designing a SWAp in the Water Supply and Sanitation Sector (WSS) of
Bangladesh. Taking the lessons into account, the WSS Sector Development Plan (2011-
25) recommends initiating a SWAp for the sector indicating the need for transition from
the project approach to the programme approach. In this backdrop, the Policy Support
Unit (PSU), Local Government Division (LGD), Ministry of Local Government, Rural
Development & Cooperatives (LGRD&C), took the initiative for developing the modality
of piloting a SWAp in the water supply and sewerage authorities (WASAs) of the country.
