Learning Lessons: Attaining Health Outcomes through Synergies of Rural Water Supply, Sanitation, and Hygiene
Asian Development Bank | April 2011
Abstract
Water and sanitation crisis claims lives through diseases and associated illnesses. About 3.6 million people die each year from water-related diseases. The 2010 report of the World Health Organization of the United Nations and the United Nations Children’s Fund concerning the progress on sanitation and drinking water revealed that 884 million people in the world do not use improved source of drinking water; almost all of them are from developing regions. About 2.6 billion people do not use improved sanitation, and most of them live in South Asia and East Asia. The vast majority of population without access to water and sanitation lives in rural areas. Seven out of 10 people without basic sanitation, and more than eight out of 10 people without access to improved drinking water sources, are rural dwellers.

In the rural road projects studied, their ...Roads are clearly a critical enabling condition for improving living conditions in rural areas.
