Reconstruction of Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene Activities in Areas of Crises
In October 1998, Hurricane Mitch left unprecedented destruction through the
heart of Central America, with thousands dead and billions of dollars in damage.
Nicaragua was hit particularly severely by Hurricane Mitch. USAID allocated
nearly $9.8 million over a 28-month period through the Environmental Health Project (EHP) Rural Water Supply,
Sanitation and Environmental Health Reconstruction Program to rehabilitate
the water supply and sanitation infrastructure and improve hygiene during the
Hurricane Mitch aftermath.

USAID also provided substantial support to the West Bank related to infrastructure
and management of water supply and sanitation services including environmental
health assessments. Based on assessment findings and recommendations related
to access to and quality of water, health outcomes and socioeconomic changes
attributable to the continuing crisis as well as seasonal factors, USAID has
identified next steps and continues its support to improve the delivery of
safe and sustainable water and sanitation services to 170,000 people living
in 50 villages in the West Bank.
