Water and Sanitation Program : Learning Note |
| description |
In 2005, an estimated 15.2 million
people or 80 percent of the total population of the Amhara
Region in Ethiopia lived in rural areas where
sanitation-related indicators were low. Open defecation was
common; hand washing, particularly after defecation, was
practiced infrequently; and general housing environments
were unsanitary, with cohabitation with animals a common
occurrence. There was a high prevalence of health issues
correlating to poor sanitation and hygiene such as
intestinal parasites, diarrhea, and eye and skin diseases.
During that timeframe, the Water and Sanitation Program
(WSP) worked with the Ministry of Health, providing support
to design a Sanitation Strategy and On-Site Sanitation
protocol. WSP also gained experience in scaling up
sanitation by working closely with the Southern Nations,
Nationalities, and People's Regional Government Health
Bureau. These experiences and government motivation to
change conditions provided an opportunity to design a
community-led, systematic approach to implement a
sustainable at-scale sanitation program based on the
strategy and protocol. |
