AguaNorte-This Action will contribute to improve the living conditions of the population through increased access to basic services, reduction of inequalities, economic recovery and peacebuilding. It aims to increase access to sustainable safe water and sanitation services for approximately 60,000 people from selected towns in three Northern provinces of Mozambique. It encompasses the construction, rehabilitation, and/or expansion of water supply systems, the creation of demand and local market development for sanitation and hygiene services and products. The action will include the construction of gender sensitive WASH infrastructures in schools and healthcare facilities, as well as support the establishment of management modalities for sustainable WASH services.&nbsp;The towns of Memba (Nampula), Namuno (Cabo Delgado) and Marrupa (Niassa) were pre identified for this action after consultation with the authorities based on the numerous deprivations, lack of support by other programmes and partners and given the poor situation of the existing water systems. Complementarity with other programmes, such as nutrition and rural WASH programmes, was also a selecting factor to increase the impact on the ground. Namuno and Marrupa districts were considered as high priority by the Mozambican Water and Sanitation Infrastructure Administration (AIAS) during consultation.
