1. PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The USAID Water and Sanitation project will work to ensure sustainable, safe, and affordable water and sanitation services to stem the spread of cholera and other water-borne diseases. The project will support the scaling of water and sanitation services, with the goal of helping 250,000 people gain access to basic water services and 75,000 people gain access to basic sanitation services. The project works in five communes (Cap Haitian, Mirebalais, Canaan, Les Cayes and Jeremie) and will focus on four core elements across three components: 1) supporting high-impact and financially self-sustaining water supply and sanitation infrastructure projects; 2) integrating project activities within the local water and sanitation sector; 3) systems thinking for implementing and monitoring activities; and 4) learning and adapting based on evidence and local knowledge. The project will also implement an Enterprise Acceleration Fund to scale up private sector involvement in the water and sanitation sector through subcontracts and cost-sharing grants.
