Clara Project

Capacity-Linked water supply and sanitation improvement for Africa’s Peri-urban and Rural Areas

The core objective of CLARA research project is to strengthen local capacities to adopt, implement and operate integrated water supply and sanitation for small communities in rural areas and peri-urban areas, and to contribute to the MDGs and to climate change adaptation in the African water sector.

The project mainly addresses a very vital millennium development goal, water supply and sanitation improvement for Arba Minch Town.

The ROSA Project, which ran in Arba Minch through 2006 - 2010, may also be of interest.
