    Description
    Description

    This proposal aims to support the capacities of the Khan Younis Municipality, the second largest urban area in the Gaza Strip after Gaza City, in providing basic sanitation services that are fundamental for the population. It seek to increase the access to these services by eliminating some of the obstacles that negatively affect their adequate supply to the community - in the technical, organizational, economic and educational terms. The project proposal is based on data, studies and analyzes carried out by the Municipality of Khan Younis together with the United Nation Development Program/Program Assistant to Palestinian People (UNDP/PAPP), the Costal Municipality Water Utility (CMWU) and the cluster WASH (Water and Sanitation).
