Contexte

Tajikistan is a water-rich country; however access of people to safe drinking water and sanitation in rural areas is very limited. Only 43.4% of rural population have access to safe drinking water and 0.2% - to sewage system and good sanitary conditions. The lack of access to sanitation infrastructure and poor hygiene practices cause spread water-borne diseases.

Deteriorated and poorly maintained infrastructure, limited financial investments, insufficient technical and managerial capacities, weak institutions and inadequate policies are the main factors leading to insufficient service delivery in the safe drinking water and sanitation sub-sector.

Objectifs Healthier population as a result of sustained access to safe drinking water and sanitation services and improved hygiene behaviour.
Groupes cibles The target group will consist of 30’000 people benefiting from sustainable water governance and effective service delivery. From these 5’000 people will get new access to safe drinking water and 10’000 people to improved sanitation and hygiene practices. Government structures (district hukumats, jamoats, SUE KMK, Tojik Ob Dekhot) and local CBOs (Mahalla Committees, WUAs and Community Advisory Boards) will be strengthened by capacity development campaigns.
