Sustainable Water and Sanitation (PASOS III)

Results achieved as of the end of the project include: 13 water systems (out of 12) were completed and are operational benefiting more than 20 000 people (more than expected). Other results include: 146 latrines (70 more than planned) 200 gray water pits and 1 271 improved stoves (out of 900 planned) were built. Key gender equality achievements include launching the Women’s Plumber Certification Program (certifying 28 women) and rolling out three municipal gender strategies. In institution building 30 water and sanitation technicians completed a short diploma from the Honduras Water and Sanitation Network. Other accomplishments included the systematization of watershed management and protection and water metering. This project has contributed to developing democratic governance in Water and Sanitation services with a perspective on integrated management of water resources and to increase access to safe water and sanitation for the poorest populations of eight municipalities of the Atlantic coast of Honduras.
