Tokke Kutaye Woreda and Babich Town WASH project (Ethiopia)

2015 - 2018 • WaterAid

Purpose

Improving access to WASH facilities in communities, schools and health facilities. Capacity building of the government woreda and town WASH teams for sustainability and scaling up of services.

Activities

Toke Kutaye and Babich WASH project is a three year (2015/16-17/18) initiative. WaterAid is implementing the project in Toke Kutaye Woreda (district), Chelia Woreda and Babich Town, all within West Shew Zone of Oromia Regional State.

WaterAid aims to improve community livelihoods by increasing access to safe water, improved sanitation, hygiene (WASH) and promoting community based water resource management (CBWRM) practices to ensure that WASH services sustainably last for years to come.

• Establishment of WASH Centres (each including a public toilet, shower and a sanitation materials production and selling point) run by MSEs (micro and small enterprises).
• Training of WASH technicians, and provision of basic tools, for Operation and Maintenance of facilities.
