The Water Governance Sindh (WGS) Activity is a three (3) year program implemented by HANDS and funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Under the Water Governance for Sindh Activity (WGS), HANDS is providing technical assistance to Municipal Committee Jacobabad (MCJ) with a goal to increase MCJ capacity to deliver clean drinking water, manage wastewater and solid waste management services.
