Abstract:

In this promising practice, community members in selected woredas of Oromia and Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples (SNNP) regional states were trained and supported to construct and manage water harvesting structures. During severe droughts, communities continue to have access to potable water because humanitarian organizations use the constructed water structures for emergency water distribution.
