Donor coordination is not institutionalized. However, under impetus from the 
Bank, the EU and the World Bank, a coordination platform is gradually being set up. The 
“Water and Sanitation” Sector Committee established to monitor the DSCRP and chaired by 
UNICEF will provide anchorage for structuring such coordination. UNICEF is supporting the 
Government in organizing a donors’ round table in October 2009. The MMEH, through the 
DGH, is part of the Sector Committee and is expected to play a crucial role in future when its 
capacity would have been built. During various missions, the Bank made efforts to encourage 
the establishment of a formal coordination platform. Thus, during the project identification, 
preparation and appraisal missions, the Government, as directed by members of the mission, 
organized a Donors’ Forum to share information and views, to allow for greater 
harmonization of operations.
