East Africa
In East Africa, IRC's activities are very much geared towards the district levels. Stimulating learning and sharing at the district level are at the heart of the East Africa programme. In Uganda this is being done throughout the LeaPP-WASH programme: focusing on household sanitation and hygiene. In Ethiopia, as consortium partner within the RiPPLE project, IRC aims to advance evidence-based learning on water supply and sanitation throughout the creation of Learning and Practice Alliances.
Ethiopia country programme
Ethiopia is now a focus country for IRC under its new strategy (2012-16). Implementing an IRC Ethiopia country programme is a high priority to support the Government of Ethiopia and its development and civil society partners to achieve the targets of universal access to water and sanitation. Although IRC has a long track record of supporting WASH sector development in the country over the past decade and beyond, this intensification of efforts shows commitment to one of the countries with the largest numbers of people without water and sanitation services, a huge disease burden and high levels of food insecurity.
