Water and Sanitation in Towns / Schools

Progetto concluso

Small cities and schools have received too little attention and suffered from uncoherent approaches of different actors. Swiss Cooperation aims at contributing to narrow these gaps, applying its comparative advantages such as field proximity, focus on social, environmental, gender and other key aspects to ensure sustainability, and a constant policy dialogue on sector reform. Relevance of intervention: A segment of small towns in rural settings, have needs in the Water and Sanitation Sector and fall through patterns of traditional programmes. Towns that are attended lack a solid conceptual and regulatory framework, leading to expensive and inappropriate technologies and solutions. Many of the rural schools in Nicaragua and Honduras lack proper infrastructure or a good organization to maintain existing infrastructure, to provide students and teachers with water, sanitation and hygiene. There is a critical lack of a concise and practical norm on the infrastructure and organizational model that is best able to attend schools.Overall goal: (i) Swiss Cooperation contributed to a decrease in the morbidity attributable to lack of water, sanitation and hygiene in the small towns and schools of intervention. (ii) Swiss Cooperation contributed to massive scaling up of sustainable access to water, sanitation and hygiene in small towns and schools in Nicaragua and Honduras.
