Efectos del Programa de Agua Potable y Saneamiento para Pequeñas Localidades y Comunidades Rurales en Bolivia: resultados de la evaluación de impacto intermedia

Abstract: En este estudio, evaluamos la efectividad de una intervención de dotación de sistemas comunales de agua por cañería y soluciones individuales de saneamiento en pequeñas comunidades rurales dispersas de cuatro departamentos de Bolivia. Empleando datos de una encuesta de seguimiento intermedia y un diseño de evaluación experimental en el que las comunidades fueron asignadas aleatoriamente a grupos de tratamiento y control, encontramos que el Programa, respecto al grupo de control, incrementó en 47.2 y 72.3 punto… Show more

“…One year after the program's completion, data showed that the intervention had a large and positive effect on the availability, use, accessibility, and quality of services in treated communities. Specifically, it increased the proportion of households using an improved water source and sanitation facility, reduced time for water collection, and improved water quality, as measured through the presence of E.coli (Celhay et al, 2021). Similar results were found in the evaluation of investment projects financed by the Social Investment Fund in Guatemala.…”

“…Evaluations of rural programs have also showed that promoting the adoption of good hygiene practices demands action beyond increasing access to services. In the case of the rural water and sanitation program 29 in Bolivia, increasing the availability of piped water and handwashing stations had no effect on handwashing (Celhay et al, 2021). Having a place with soap and clean water to wash hands was not sufficient to change the population's perception about the importance of hand hygiene or of washing the hands.…”

“…As mentioned in Section 3.1.1, water and sanitation are human rights and consequently vital for sustainable development; thus, it is even more important to ensure its provision in quantity and quality. So, for centuries people have collected and stored rainwater in buckets, tanks, ponds, and wells due to its multipurpose uses from irrigating crops to recharging groundwater, washing, flushing toilets, showering, cooking, and, in some cases, drinking [71][72][73]. This domestic water provision technique can be a source of water in regions where rainfall is substantial and where no other sources of water are available [43].…”
