WaterAid | Madagascar

In Madagascar 50% of the population has safe water and only 34% have sanitation.

WaterAid supports six main partner organisations in three of Madagascar's six provinces. These implement low-cost sanitation services and promote good hygiene practices alongside providing water supplies through gravity fed schemes, well construction and locally manufactured rope pumps.

As water and sanitation are vital for health, education and livelihoods, WaterAid uses its research to influence the Government to put water and sanitation at the heart of their poverty reduction plans.

WaterAid aims to improve organisations' ability to meet the Millennium Development Goals of halving the proportion of people living without access to safe water and sanitation by 2015, develop its work in unplanned urban areas and continue to support the Government in implementing a coordinated sanitation policy.
