The World’s Poorest People
The World’s Poorest People
By almost any measure sub-Saharan Africa lacks even the most basic infrastructure to meet the needs of the almost one billion people living here. This chapter examines the links among water scarcity, poverty, and disease—and the potential of groundwater for mitigating these problems. The solution involves much more than the all too common approach of drilling a village well, installing a pump, and returning home. The chapter presents instructive stories of individuals who are doing it right, including capacity building.
Keywords: capacity building, drilling, poverty, sub-Saharan Africa, water scarcity
