Ethiopia: low cost water supply for households
With 40 million or more rural people without access to safe water, Ethiopia is faced with a major challenge to reach the Universal Access Plan targets (98% coverage by 2012) or even the MDG target (52% coverage by 2015). At the same time there have already been mass campaigns to encourage household investment in rainwater harvesting for irrigation and well-digging. As a result, the government is keen to adopt the concepts of low-cost solutions and Self Supply and is exploring the best ways to do so.
