• 125,000 now using improved sanitation facilities
• 1,117,000 exposed to hygiene promotion messages
• 6 water LSPs with strengthened capacity in key operational and institutional areas including non-revenue water reduction, establishing pro-poor units, improved billing and revenue and better relations with communities
• 25 sanitation LSPs with strengthened capacity in developing viable and sustainable improved sanitation services including citywide planning, community and household level latrine construction and sludge removal systems
• over 50 CBOs / NGOs in 22 slums now managing local community water and sanitation services

WSUP currently spends about £4 million per year which has been provided by a range of funders including DFID, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, KfW, Rockefeller Foundation, AusAID, USAID and others, as well as its members.

 

What WSUP's Partners Say

 

Urban services are a real challenge and we need serious programmes. WSUP is the most appropriate partner we have and the experience of its members is invaluable. We are not accustomed to this type of approach, which is really adapted to the local context. WSUP can help us approach the target population that we are not currently serving and we are working together to bring water to the urban poor.

WSUP is assisting us to complete tertiary connections, helping us to reach 100% coverage on water and sanitation services. We have the main pipes installed but there is still a big area without the secondary and tertiary network installed and our partnership with WSUP complements our core service. After this project we will be able to extend the service to the other areas of the city where 30% of the consumers are not reached.
