Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Output-Based Aid (WASHOBA) demonstrated to Government cost-effective approaches to WASH services, while strictly targeting the rural poor.  Both sanitation and water supply components utilized OBA to promote accountability, innovation and value for money by explicit determination of financial support for delivery of outputs and by shifting performance and financial risks to service providers. 

Gret, EMW’s project partner, worked with central and provincial government to implement public-private partnership water supply systems. Government capabilities to promote, regulate and monitor private operators were enhanced.       

Departments of Rural Development and Village Chiefs implemented the sanitation component. EMW trained the trainers and provided support throughout implementation. The poorest one-third of the population received consumer rebates upon latrine construction and verification. 

Around 65,000 people from IDPoor 1 and 2 households benefited from new hygienic latrines they builty under the program, and more than 10,000 people benefited from household connects to safe piped water.
