Context

The Ivory Coast’s urban drinking water sector has long been considered a model in sub-Saharan Africa, but the Ivory Coast’s more than decade-long crisis has caused delays in investment and infrastructure maintenance, resulting in massive population displacement. Contaminated drinking water increases waterborne diseases. The consumption or use of unsafe water causes cholera, dysentery, typhoid etc. Public health depends on improving access to water and sanitation in the Ivory Coast.
