The “KIJANI PEMBA” project aims to improve the living conditions of individuals and families in the main urban areas of Pemba Island, with a focus on accessibility, hygiene, public services, waste management, sustainable urban planning, and gender-related issues. The action is part of the Green and Smart Cities SASA program.

Over the last year we worked to provide access to water and sanitation in 12 countries where water resources are scarce, favouring the most vulnerable groups and privileging a local, participatory and multi-actor governance of this precious resource.
In development and emergency scenarios, we set up and implemented initiatives with the active involvement of the local communities, integrating the infrastructure and sanitation components with an improved management of services.
- 1.8 mln people reached
- 148 water systems built
- 28.8 thousands sanitation kits distributed
We organised training courses in all the countries and, thanks to 107 advocacy campaigns, we reached over 1,360,000 people to raise awareness on the right to water and on fundamental hygiene for an inclusive and sustainable use of water resources.
