Commitment

Increasing access to drinking water in canteen schools

Government / Benin

January 2026 — December 2028

Description

By 2028, the 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 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.
