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.
