Final reports and evaluations of completed and ongoing programmes up to December 2020 estimate that more than 3.6 million people have benefited directly from the Water Fund (677,000 households). A total of 3.1 million people have gained access to new or renovated drinking water services and 1.2 million to sanitation services. The wastewater of more than 843,000 people is now adequately treated.
The Water Fund has made an effort in 2020 to foster community development and a social fabric that strengthens the sustainability of interventions. So far, more than 1.5 million people have been educated on the importance of hygiene and the rational use of water resources. In addition, up until 2020, more than 70,000 institutional experts from the different territorial levels have been trained within the framework of the programmes in order to promote the strengthening of the sector.
