USAID intends for this new THRIVE-WASH activity to form a key part of the U.S. government’s water portfolio in Rwanda. USAID/Rwanda has invested for many years in the water sector, and this new five year award will build on the strong partnerships already in place with both the district governments and private sector to expand and improve WASH services.
The purpose of this activity is to improve access to and utilization of safe, sustainable drinking water and sanitation services.
