Water and sanitation assistance for Kabul: a lot for the happy few?
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by Jean-Francois Pinera, Lisa RudgeKabul water and environmental sanitation services have been affected by war, which ravaged large portions of the city in
the early 1990’s. After the fall of the Taliban in 2002, a considerable influx of returnees contributed to put an ever greater
stress on already deficient systems. Large-scale water supply projects were initiated. However, they tackle only areas covered
by water networks, leaving behind an estimated 60% of the population who live in ‘unplanned areas’. In order to address
the needs of these ‘left-behind’ populations, organisations such as ‘Action Contre la Faim’ have designed programmes
specifically for them. They intend to maximize the benefit of water and environmental sanitation by relying on affordable
community-maintained systems, until access to centralized services is gained.
