Rural Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene
According to World Vision, more than 80 percent of those lacking access to safe water and sanitation live in rural areas, especially in the rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Resources available in this sub-theme include assessments of interagency collaboration in rural water and sanitation projects and assessments of rural water supply and emergency needs worldwide, among other resources that support the rural access to water, sanitation, and hygiene.
