Second phase of a Programme which initially ran from 2007 to 2011, the Sector Support Programme  for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (PASEHA 2), taken over by LuxDev and financed with Danish and Luxembourg funds.

The Program is part of the national policy for poverty reduction and rural development and aims to help improve access to safe water and sanitation and the acquisition of improved hygiene behavior (WASH) in the rural and semi-urban centers.

In this regard, it combines two components:

  • one component focuses on Safe Drinking Water and Integrated Water Resource Management. This component consists of the rehabilitation / construction of water points in Zinder and Diffa and support for continued institutional reforms at central level and their implementation (regional level). The component is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Water and Sanitation (MHA) and will improve access to drinking water for about 112 000 people in Zinder and 54 000 people in Diffa;
     
  • the other component, focuses on the Promotion of Hygiene and Sanitation and aims to raise the rate of latrine coverage per family as well as school latrines. It also includes support for strengthening the institutional capacities of actors from the central level and the decentralized levels. According to the agreed institutional framework, coordination of this component will be provided by MHA. Technical monitoring of the operational implementation of activities will be led by the decentralized services of the Ministry of Public Health. This realisation of basic sanitation works will benefit approximately 395,000 people.
