Understanding factors and actors to achieve sustainable drinking water systems in Kitui County, Kenya

Abstract

Despite significant progress in building over 3,000 waterpoints across Kitui County in recent years, the challenge of providing sustainable drinking water services remains high. This brief presents the ranking of different factors for sustainable systems based on priorities of 42 Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) actors in a forum hosted in February 2018. This work was supported by the UK Department for International Development as part of the ‘REACH Improving Water Security for the Poor’ programme
