The ECHO funded project 'Humanitarian Support to Vulnerable Households in the Most Water and Sanitation Scarce and Cold Regions of Afghanistan' was implemented by ACF in Ghor Province of Afghanistan, from July 2010 to June 2011. Ghor Province has the second worst coverage of water supply of all Provinces in Afghanistan, with an estimated 8% access to improved water supply and an estimated access to latrines at 5% of the total population. The project supported water supply construction and rehabilitation, the training of water committees and handpump mechanics, the training on sanitation construction, hygiene promotion using a number of channels, the distribution of a winter kit to the extreme poor and the distribution of biosand filters in smaller villages. This report documents the external end of project evaluation of the project which was undertaken during August 2011. The evaluator was not able to travel to the villages due to security restrictions but was able to meet male beneficiaries in the provincial centre and to speak to three women beneficiaries by SKYPE.
