The United States Government, as represented by USAID/Madagascar, is announcing the Madagascar Urban Sanitation Project addendum to the Diversifying Partnerships in WASH (DiP-WASH), hereafter known as the DiP-WASH APS.
Through this Urban Sanitation Project addendum, USAID/Madagascar aims to engage eligible partners to expand and amplify the Agency’s work through and with water and sanitation. The overall Agency goal is to support partner countries’ progress on their development trajectories, achieve sustainable and resilient results, and catalyze more effective partnering for impact. This Addendum disseminates information to prospective Applicants so they may develop and submit Concept Notes in response and ultimately to be considered for USAID funding.
The overall goal of the Project is to advance Madagascar’s development goals so that Malagasy people seek and have access to quality and affordable sanitation products and services.
