Preface

Water supply and sanitation is a basic need of the people. Periodic plans and policy documents
of the government have therefore advocated for improving the access to the basic but safe water
supply services adopting a policy of all-inclusive ethnic groups, economic strata, gender,
religion, disability and geographical location, on the principle of cost sharing and full operation
and maintenance by the beneficiary group in the community.

The sustainable access to safe drinking water supply and appropriate sanitation facilities, in
addition to lessening the drudgery of the people in fetching water, especially of women and
girls children, will improve the health of the people. It helps to reduce medical expenses and
provides an opportunity to additional economic activity and ultimately to improve the living
standards.
