provincial education budgets. Remaining activity results are as follows:

 2. School-Based Model for Improved Community Water and Sanitation
Total Estimated Amount: $2,499,800
Performance Period: October 2012 – March 2017
Geographic Scope: Benguela Province
The objective of the activity is to contribute to reducing waterborne diseases and infections that
are exacerbated by poor sanitation. Specific objectives are:
a) Increase access to improved water and sanitation facilities in the target area by improving
and constructing latrines and hand washing facilities in 100 primary schools.
b) Increase access to clean water by rehabilitating existing facilities and organizing the
Parents Teacher’s Association to find alternative solutions.
c) Mobilize 50 families around each school to construct latrines and hand‐washing facilities
in their homes.
d) Increase the use of improved sanitation facilities through education and by raising
awareness.
Central to the success of the activity is the inclusion of the Government of the Republic of
Angola from the onset given that it has an ambitious Water for All Program to increase the access
of water and sanitation facilities to 80% of the country’s rural population by 2017. To date, key
activity successes includes:
