The project goal is to reduce water-and-sanitation-related diseases, specifically guinea worm, by 30 percent in the project area: the six districts in Central Benin's Zou province. To attain this goal, the project is to establish community-level sociohealth development committees (CDSSs), provide 225 boreholes equipped with India Mark II pumps (coordinated with health and sanitation education campaigns), collaborate with the communities to build school and family latrines, and construct rainwater catchment systems with cisterns in some demonstration villages where boreholes are unproductive.
