Meeting A Basic Human Need: AID'S Rural

Potable Water And Sanitation Program


Unsafe water and inadequate sanitation
spread fatal and debilitating diseases which
affect millions of lives in the developing
world. The United States has been con-
cerned with this problem for over 40 years.
Between fiscal years 1978 and 1982, AID
provided over $161 million in Development
Assistance for directly meeting the need for
these services, mainl, in rural areas.

AID has been successful in expanding ac-
cess to improved water and better sanita-
tion. GAO notes problems, however, with
delivering the full range of the intended
facilities and services and implementing
operation and maintenance activities which
are critical to long-term success. Also, AID
is not identifying the immediate benefits
derived from the projects.

GAO makes recommendations for improv-
ing implementation, ensuring that the proj-
ects receive proper upkeep, and identifying
the improvements resulting from this type
of assistance. AID has steps underway or
planned which should implement GAO's
recommendations.
