Resumen
Descripción
The present report summarizes the
evidence and findings from a series of studies and new data
collection around water supply, sanitation, and hygiene
(WASH) and poverty. This WASH poverty diagnostic was
undertaken to increase our understanding of the linkages
between monetary poverty and WASH services. The work focuses
on answering four questions: who are the poor?, does access
to WASH vary by poverty level?, what are the synergies
between WASH and other sectors, and how does this affect
welfare?, and what are the constraints to service and
potential solutions to providing universal access to safely
managed water supply and sanitation? Although the work done
in the context of this diagnostic covered both urban and
rural areas, the main focus has been on the rural, and
particularly, the indigenous areas, as these are the ones
facing the greatest gaps in services. A more in-depth
exploration of urban issues has been left for a future date.
