Several firefighting units have been dispatched to the factory in the Bayezid Textile area
During their six-day visit, they will see works on the ground, meet relevant stakeholders, and inaugurate WaterAid Bangladesh programmes for 2016 to 2021.
They will arrive on Saturday, the NGO says.
The new strategy with the slogan “reaching everyone, everywhere” with improved water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) will address the issue in the context of the new sustainable development goals.
WaterAid’s coverage in Asia and Africa has been increased to 27 countries now from 15 in 2005 when Barbara took the office as its CEO, the NGO says in a statement.
