To address the precarious state of Nigeria’s water supply, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector, the World Bank is supporting the Government of Nigeria (GoN) under the Sustainable Urban and Rural Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene Program (SURWASH). The Program will support the implementation of the National Action Plan for the Revitalization of Nigeria’s WASH Sector (the ‘National Action Plan’ or NAP).
Programme Implementation
The SURWASH program is being implemented in seven states, through the Federal Project Implementation Unit (FPIU) which has been set up within the Federal Ministry of Water Resources (FMWR). It will be responsible for overall Program design, implementation oversight, and M&E, as well as for procurement and implementation of federal activities, namely TA. The seven States are Delta, Ekiti, Gombe, Imo, Kaduna, Katsina, and Plateau. At the state level, the State Project Implementation Units (SPIUs) will be established within all Program states and will be responsible for Program design, implementation oversight, and M&E for all activities within their state.
Aim
The aim of the LMP is to identify the main labour requirements and risks associated with the Investment Project Financing (IPF) component of the SURWASH which supports technical assistance activities within sector agencies at both the Federal and state level.
The LMP has been prepared for the Nigeria SURWASH Program to ensure compliance with Environmental and Social Standard 2 (ESS 2) on Labour and Working Conditions. Accordingly, the purpose of this LMP is to facilitate the planning and implementation of the IPF / TA by identifying the main labour requirements, the associated risks, and the procedures and resources necessary to address the IPF / TA-related labour issues.
