Infrastructure Development
According to the UN, large numbers of people in developing countries still lack access to basic infrastructure services. Continued lack of access will constrain achievements of any development goals agreed for the post-2015 period. Resources available in this sub-theme include project summaries and successes of past infrastructure development projects, technical and field guidance on infrastructure development, and other resources that can help to develop effective WASH infrastructure.
