Importance of Sustainability Sample Clauses

Importance of Sustainability. The importance of sustainability as a concept is widely documented, but evidence for the application of sustainable WASH interventions in health facilities are sparse. This is of concern, because increasing the number of people with access to better quality water will require more focus on long-term impact and sustainability.10, 62 Targeted program design and implementation, based on research, as well as continued monitoring and evaluation are essential for sustainable long-term health program effectiveness.25 Unfortunately, dysfunctional water technologies and water points are prevalent in the WASH sector. Sustainability-centered research on demand, cost recovery, failure management, maintenance of water sources, and water treatment will inform future sustainable development.19, 52,62 Water point failures have become common in developing countries. In sub-Saharan Africa, between six to eight million hand pumps have been installed, but they have a failure rate of 30%. In Ghana, it is estimated that 58% of existing water points are in need of repair.10 Though very little success is evident in water programs, Ghana is making strides to address safe water provision challenges as evident in the Decentralized Safe Water Kiosk project.51 The Decentralized Safe Water Kiosk project in collaboration with Water Health Ghana (WHG) uses a sustainable model which incorporates best practices from the private sector with a focus on establishing local sustainability (environmental, operational, and economical), and scale.51 The project partnered with the Xxxx Xxxxxxx University to undertake independent evaluations of the impact of improved water supplies on local health outcomes and possible models to inform scale up and transition of the water kiosks to local ownership. Programs such as this, with clearly outlined guiding principles for sustainability development, can increase the potential for sustainable WASH interventions.
