1. Less than half of Haitians in rural areas have access to water. People in the Haitian countryside are generally served through piped water systems with standpipes or water points with hand pumps, however a substantial portion of these systems is not operational, because of a lack of funds for operation and maintenance. To tackle this issue, a program funded by the World Bank in the South region of the country has installed professional operators to maintain water supply systems which have benefited 60,000 people. This pilot is now being scaled up: a new 50 million dollars water program has just been approved and aims to prevent cholera and other waterborne diseases in high prevalence zones and improve access to water and sanitation by strengthening the capacity of local agencies, especially in rural areas and small towns.
