BUILDING HEALTHY COMMUNITIES

Health is at the heart of so much of the world’s poverty and suffering. When communities don’t have enough food, when they depend on unsafe water sources, when they don’t have access to reliable health support, every life suffers.

Improving access to safe water sources

ACCEND

The main outcome of the ACCEND project is to strengthen communities and public institutions towards an integrated mutually accountable service delivery system in the WASH and health sector. This will be achieved by the following intermediate outcomes: 1). Vulnerable rural and estate communities with increased access to WASH facilities, improved personal hygiene and sanitation practices, and community driven services managed in collaboration with strengthened public authorities; 2). Improved health and nutritional status within the estate and rural communities through increased access to proper healthcare, knowledge and practices.
