Development 
 
4.6.1
The project implementation will contribute to enriching DGH’s experience in 
executing drinking water supply and sanitation projects in urban and rural areas. The 
involvement of SODECA agencies and the Municipal Councils in water resource 
management and utilization as well as the participation of various segments of the population 
and their sensitization on project choices are major factors for the success of the project. The 
DGH will gain from its experience within the country and see its capacity strengthened, thus 
having an impact by disseminating same to other towns studied but awaiting financing. The 
project intends to set up, train and equip regional communication teams to raise the people’s 
awareness on hygiene and sanitation. Drinking water facility and latrine management 
committees will be established and trained in management, governance, conflict resolution 
and gender issues. User associations (men and women traders) and EIGs will be trained and 
sensitized for social mobilization in markets and villages covered by the project. Hence, the

project implementation will help to develop knowledge on water resource management for 
optimal use.
