Support Programme for the Water and Sanitation Sector (PASEHA-3)

Funded by the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark (Danida), the phase 3 of the Support Programme for the Water and Sanitation Sector (PASEHA-3) supports the sector based on two framework documents from the Ministry of Hydraulics and Sanitation (MHA), namely the Water and Sanitation Sector Programme (PROSEHA) for the period 2016-2030 and the MHA Institutional Support Project (PAI). It targets the rural populations in Niger who do not have sufficient access to water and sanitation, while ensuring sustainable water management. The project also includes capacity-building activities with the ministry in order to ensure the implementation of existing policies.
