Juba Household Sanitation Survey and Mapping

The program fostered urban water sector reforms to solve policy, institutional, regulatory, financial, and operational challenges that hindered the effective delivery of sustainable water and sanitation services for urban residents in nine African nations: Ethiopia, Kenya, Liberia, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, South Sudan, Uganda, and Zambia. SUWASA supported the water and sanitation sector in South Sudan. South Sudan's capital city, Juba, has struggled in the face of rapid growth to provide adequate sanitation facilities for the growing population. The challenge is compounded by a lack of information on city size and population density, information that is ordinarily available for planning purposes. As a result, there is a risk that future utility investments will be based on circumstantial evidence and will not target the areas of the city that should be prioritized. SUWASA worked with the Juba City Council to plan and prioritize sanitation investments throughout the city. To fill current information gaps on sanitation in Juba, SUWASA staff developed and executed a household survey, which was conducted by local enumerators in September 2013. This report presents the findings of that survey. Related Reform of the Urban Water and Sanitation Sectors in South Sudan (Final project report) Sanitation Institutions Mapping in South Sudan
