Safe Dirnking Water

Enhancing decentralized water supply and management solutions to provide access to safe drinking water to vulnerable communities, Budget: USD 9.9 (SLR 1465 million)

This Output will deliver drinking water solutions to poor farmer households through a multi-pronged partnership approach to replenish sources, build storage, supply clean and safe drinking water and address root causes of water quality issues One of the primary co-benefits of the GCF investment (aligned with government investments) in improving access to safe drinking water is the expected reduction in the disease burden (and current medical costs) in areas where kidney disease is fast spreading.
