The integrated approach covers not only the rehabilitation works, but also strongly focuses on strengthening the awareness regarding appropriate maintenance of the sanitation systems as well as on the promotion of better day-to-day hygiene practices. The target group for repair and maintenance activities will be defined by the number of households ready to contribute their share in the project.
