Published purpose
The Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Initiative (RWSSI), managed by the African Development Bank, seeks to improve access to water supply and sanitation services in rural Africa. Examples of water supply facilities funded through this initiative include hand-dug wells, hand pumps, and rainwater-harvesting systems. Most activities in sanitation involve awareness creation through sanitation marketing, and hygiene and health education campaigns to bring about behavioural change and create demand for household latrine construction. The responsibility for these activities is shared between the Bank, country level partners and the donor community.
