Lessons from water, sanitation and hygiene budget advocacy experiences in South Asia

CSOs, WASH organisations and think tanks in South Asia have invested in budget advocacy using different approaches and methodologies over the years. This report showcases five such examples spread over Bangladesh, India and Nepal in South Asia at national and subnational levels. Through these case studies (incl. one from IRC on budget tracking undertaken during the Watershed programme), this report explores the various budget advocacy methodologies applied; the merits and limitations of these approaches; the challenges that arose; along with the successes and overall learnings.
