CARE implemented the ECHO-funded Gaza and West Bank Emergency Water Assistance Project from November 2006 to November 2007. The Emergency Water Assistance Project focused on infrastructure improvements at the municipality level to increase water quantity and quality in targeted communities. The project’s interventions were largely selected in response to the stated needs of municipalities in both locations. In addition, the Water Assistance Project included a training component for municipality staff on water management issues and a community awareness campaign on water conservation practices. During the life of the project, it was expanded to include an emergency response to the sewage disaster in the community of Um Al Nasser and an intervention to assist the municipality with solid waste disposal in Gaza City.
