The European Union funded Technical Assistance to CSOs (EU-TAC) project has said 25 civil society organisations (CSOs) have been strengthened to drive water, sanitation and water governance in Plateau State.
The WaterAid Nigeria Communications and Media Manager, Mrs. Oluseyi Abdulmalik, said this in a statement on the occasion to mark the end of the project in Jos, the state capital.

She said the project was implemented by the Society for Water and Sanitation (NEWSAN) with technical support from WaterAid.
She said the EU-TAC project, which is now coming to a close, was launched in 2018 to execute the Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Reform Programme III (WSSSRP III) in Plateau State, to improve governance of the sector and provide improved services in urban and small towns of the state.
“The project is part of the overall EU support of over euro 260 million to reach more than 10 million people with improved access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene facilities in 14 states of Nigeria.
“The project had the specific objective of improving the capacity of civil societies in the state, and in Riyom and Shendam local government areas, to advocate for better governance in the water and sanitation sector and to act as a potential driver for good governance in the broader context of the public sector service delivery,” Abdulmalik said.
