To improve access to water and the reliability of water services, the program is designed to reduce the burdens of water collection, particularly impacting women and children, and to decrease health risks associated with poor water quality. #SASaWa is structured around 3 core pillars that guide its comprehensive strategy to improve water access and management: 💧 Water Innovation: Focuses on introducing and scaling innovative, financially viable WASH solutions to ensure safe water reaches the most vulnerable communities in urban, peri-urban, and rural settings. 💧 WASH Systems Strengthening: Enhances the capacity and resilience of the entire WASH ecosystem, empowering local municipalities, utilities, NGOs, and other water service providers to deliver high-quality, reliable, and affordable services. 💧 Catalytic Infrastructure Investments: Supports critical infrastructure development through risk mitigation, technical assistance, and project preparation, setting the stage for significant investments from various sectors. The SASaWa initiative exemplifies a strategic, multi-faceted approach to addressing critical water issues in Kenya's ASALs. By building on the solid foundations of established programs and focusing on innovative, sustainable solutions, #SASaWa is poised to make a lasting impact on the region's water security.
