Environmental Health Components for Water Supply, Sanitation, and Urban Projects
Development projects have time after time and sector after sector shown that intensive capital investments while essential are not sufficient to sustain development and growth of that sector. Projects that respond to specific local conditions but conform to and are strengthened by supportive macro-policies have a better chance to achieve their goals. These concerns together with the need to improve health in the face of the stagnant or shrinking national health budgets have prompted the theme of the Technical Paper: a practical methodology to enhance health at minimum cost by maximizing benefits of on-going urban development, water and sanitation projects. The Technical Paper has three main objectives: first, to present a pragmatic guide for improving health through discrete local programs which are supplements but not alternatives to national health measures; second, to help detect, through the preparation of the environmental health component, needs for more extensive efforts and accordingly alert the appropriate health authorities; and third, to contribute to a realistic assessment of what an environmental health component can achieve.
