| Sector(s): | Water and Sanitation |
|||
| Activity Objectives: | In rural Egypt, insufficient sewerage connections and a lack of wastewater treatment pose health and environmental hazards (often through seepage from domestic sewage tanks into household building fabric). The practice of dumping untreated waste into water drains when septic tanks are evacuated also leads to the contamination of drinking water sources and agricultural land. In response to this situation, the Government of Egypt is keen to increase the number of sewage connections to cover 100% of the population by 2027. |
