Government Engagement
Back
- ISC has been partnering with governments to support policymaking and the framing of regulations that support the provision of safe, accessible, and affordable WASH services for all, particularly for the last-mile population.
- Since WASH has become an important agenda for the Central and state governments, ISC has created an inclusive platform that brings together all the stakeholders including the government and the private sector to establish a network which is responsible for the planning, coordination and monitoring of WASH services.
- ISC has been playing a pivotal role in engaging governments and corporates to lend support in providing financing for WASH services, through national budgets, taxes, and tariffs, as also as external sources of funding across the globe.
- ISC has created a Public-Private Partnership model where different corporates can collaborate with government agencies, grassroots organizations, and other stakeholders.
