| Summary: | This summary report presents the
findings of the Ethiopia WASH Poverty Diagnostic (EWPD)
study led by the World Bank`s Water and Poverty Global
Practices. Though Ethiopia has made good progress in
increasing access to water supply, sanitation, and hygiene
(WASH) services in recent years, the quality of many
services are below the standards set for meeting the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study review
existing institutional structures and challenges that are
inhibiting high-quality service delivery. The EWPD also
reviews the quality and inequality in access to WASH service
between those living in urban and rural areas, as well as
different regions, areas of water insecurity and amongst the
poorest households. EWPD also attempts to show the
implications of poor access to WASH services on human
development (health, nutrition, and education) and poverty
reduction. The analysis aims to support the government and
other stakeholders identify gaps in service delivery and
answer questions on why these gaps exist. The report
concludes by offering recommendations for moving Ethiopia`s
WASH sector forward. |
