The WASH Project assisted the USAID Mission in Zaire to develop a national training capability for the Government of the Republic of Zaire's (GOZ) rural water supply and sanitation sector. Two consultants trained a team of core trainers and assisted the trainers in the development of designs, curricula and materials. This assignment was the first of three WASH interventions planned over the next year to improve the training skills of Zairian trainers and to develop a standard curriculum for a series of workshops on rural water supply and sanitation.
