The Haiti Sustainable Rural and Small Towns Water and Sanitation Project, supported by the World Bank, aimed to improve water and sanitation services in rural areas and small towns, particularly those affected by the 2010 cholera outbreak. The project focused on increasing access to improved water sources and sanitation facilities, strengthening the service delivery mechanism at the deconcentrated level through regional offices, and enhancing the country's capacity to respond to eligible emergencies. It included institutional strengthening, capacity building, and investments in water supply and sanitation infrastructure. The project also addressed sustainability by supporting professional operators for water systems and promoting community participation.
