Improvement of water and sanitation systems and implementation and monitoring of basic services.
Strengthening of local governments to guarantee access to basic services for the population and the construction of resilient communities and prevention of Natural Disasters Risks in Agusan del Sur
The frequent rains and floods from December to February and the long periods of drought from May to June, together with the lack of access to safe drinking water and sanitation, in addition to the lack of hygiene habits of the population, cause a high prevalence of infectious diseases transmitted by water, in addition to reported cases of malaria, tuberculosis, pneumonia and diarrhea.
For this reason, CODESPA is committed to investing in the infrastructure for the construction of a water system for the rural community of Agusan del Sur (Philippines), and to provide technical assistance for the implementation, management, monitoring and maintenance of the infrastructure.
CODESPA, in collaboration with the municipality, plans, coordinates and builds water collection points from a source of drinking water in height, which allows safe access to drinking water, also during natural disasters such as flooding. It also strengthens the capacities and accountability of the Local Government through the improvement of the quality and sustainability of the provision of services and the correct application of the existing sanitation ordinances. It also promotes and sensitizes health and hygiene to improve primary health practices.
