MAJI NA NISHATI MBADALA: Access to water and climate change resilience in the rural district and ASAL

About this project

The project aims at ensuring equitable and sustainable access to safe and affordable drinking water and improved hygiene services in the arid and semi-arid rural lands (ASAL) of Dodoma and Manyara Regions. The project’s impact is to improve the social and public health condition and the resilience, including climate changes and hazards, of the population in the target regions.
