Impacts
Reduction in waterborne diseases due to access to clean water and improved sanitation, leading to better overall health and reduced healthcare costs. Increased school attendance especially for girls as they spend less time collecting water and managing sanitation needs. Access to clean water and sanitation will increase productivity in the workforce, leading to improved livelihoods and economic growth, women and girls often bear the burden of collecting water, so improved water access will empower them and provide more time for other activities
Key Challenges
Insufficient budget allocation and late disbursement of project funds which led to delays and limitations in scope.
