Abstract

This Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Sector Strategic Plan is a nationwide sectoral document aiming at highlighting the critical importance of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) to form a platform from which Liberia’s Vision 2030 can be possible. It should also be considered as an implementation tool of both the Integrated Water Resources Management and the Water Supply and Sanitation Policies. The WASH implementation will lead to a number of cross-cutting issues, such as (i) poverty reduction, productivity and economic gains; (ii) education and gender equity benefits; and (iii) health benefits.
