ABSTRACT

This study explores the experiences of poor households who have been ‘left behind’ in their access to safe drinking water in Ghana. Using a cross-sectional survey of seven communities in the Offinso-North District, we identify physical and economic barriers that make it difficult for households to collect sufficient water for use. Efforts to leave no one behind in water access and use should target these barriers.

安全饮用水的社会和经济壁垒对加纳市政一级政策的影响

摘要

这项研究探索了加纳贫困家庭在获得安全饮用水方面被“抛在后面”的经历。通过对奥芬索北区七个社区的横断面调查，我们确定了物理和经济障碍，这些障碍使家庭难以收集足够的水来使用。努力不让任何人落后于水的获取和使用应针对这些障碍。
