Support to the Papua New Guinea National Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WaSH) Policy 2015–2030 - Part II

About this project

Sustainable use of water and sanitation infrastructure contributes significantly to socio-economic development. Having access to clean drinking water supply and sanitation services reduces mortality and morbidity caused by water-related diseases, increases economic growth opportunities, and improves the overall quality of life. \n\nIn line with the Papua New Guinea National Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Policy (WaSH) 2015 - 2030, the proposed Action aims to contribute towards improving the quality of life of Papua New Guineans through increased access to and utilization of safe, adequate and sustainable water supply, sanitation and improved hygiene practices in locations with high population concentrations (healthcare facilities, schools and major market places). The Action aims for: increased equitable access to safe, convenient and sustainable water supply and sanitation and improved hygiene practices; as well as long-term hygiene behavior change at the personal, household, community and institutional levels particular to urban areas that are currently under-served, in line with the national WaSH policy. \n\nThe present Action will be delivered through the United Nation Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) as co-delegates - partners
