The partnership will be focusing on villages in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania and Uganda, and aims to: decrease incidence in diarrhoeal diseases, promote gender equality, increase school attendance and enhance productivity and well-being for all community members.

Governments and aid donors should ensure adequate finance for hygiene facilities and water availabilities.
