Rapid urbanization in low- and middle-income countries has put pressure on water and sanitation providers, resulting in uneven progress on access to services, especially among the poorest and most vulnerable people.
Activity Description
The purpose of the Delegated Cooperation Arrangement (DCAR) is to utilize German Cooperation’s existing funding mechanism and proven expertise to improve service delivery among key actors in th
Basic sanitation coverage in rural areas and progress toward Sustainable Development Goal 6.2 has advanced significantly over the last decade in several low- and middle-income countries.
Understanding and addressing the human resource needs and gaps in the sanitation and hygiene sector is a critical part of achieving universal access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene.
In low- and middle-income country (LMIC) contexts such as Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, between 44 percent to 51 percent of urban populations are unserved by piped water and 72 percent to 84 percent lack sewered connections.
Achieving and sustaining equitable access to safe drinking water and sanitation services remain key challenges in many urban areas of low- and middle-income countries.
Across low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), the public institutions mandated to provide water and sanitation services in cities have limited financial capacity and/or capabilities to provide citywide coverage.
While there are many indications that the enabling environment for safely managed WASH in Uganda is improving, high-risk practices (open defecation, lack of hand hygiene, use of surface water) persist in rural regions.
