Description
By 2028, the Benin government, with the support of partners, is committed to improving the rate of access to drinking water in schools with canteens from 51% in 2024 to 75% in 2028 by facilitating the connection of schools or by building new drinking water points.
This commitment is ambitious since the government plans to reach 100% of schools with canteens in rural areas. An action plan will be developed by the Beninese National Agency for Drinking Water Supply in Rural Areas (ANAEP-MR) and then implemented in order to achieve the target in 2018. Progress will be reported annually and presented in the annual activity report of the NASIP.
