Modernization of the Ministry of Water Resources Financial Management Capacity

Together with a partner firm, Cowater managed and implemented this Global Affairs Canada-funded project from 2003-2006. Working with a budget of CAD 2.6 million, Cowater successfully supported the Ministry of Water Resources in modernizing its management systems through the implementation of a financial and information management software, computer hardware, and office automation software. These improvements resulted in increases in the accountability and transparency of public sector water management institutions in Bangladesh and helped the Ministry enhance its planning and operational capacities.
