Sierra Leone National Water Compact 2026-2030. A Water Secure Sierra Leone.

This Water Compact articulates Sierra Leone’s commitment to achieving water security, sanitation safety, and climate resilience by 2030 through four interconnected goals: 1) enhancing water resource management and achieving 90% access to water by 2030; 2) achieving 76% access to sanitation and its management while improving access to hygiene by 2030; 3) institutional strengthening and capacity building for all water sector institutions; 4) improving water, sanitation, and hygiene sector financing. The Compact also defines five priority actions with targeted interventions, in order to implement its goals: 1) improving Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) service delivery efficiency, including solid waste management; 2) ensuring coordination among key government actors and development partners to increase sector financing and related developmental impacts; 3) investing in inclusive sanitation and hygiene services with a gender-responsive approach and priority for WASH in schools and healthcare facilities; 4) safeguarding water resources and expanding urban and rural water supply; 5) strengthening solid waste management.
