This USAID/Ethiopia grant targets improved water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) and rangeland management for pastoralist communities in Ethiopia’s Afar, Oromia, and Somali Regions. It aims to boost water access by drilling 22 new and rehabilitating 19 existing boreholes for human/animal use. The program establishes sustainable community water management systems, building local capacity in natural resource management and conflict mitigation. Hygiene awareness will be enhanced via health worker training, alongside support for household/community latrine construction. This comprehensive initiative fosters long-term well-being and environmental sustainability.
