| Abstract | In many societies, traditional roles are such that women are well placed to contribute significantly to the success of water supply and sanitation projects. Women can help to ensure that installations function reliably and are adequately used, and that their potential impact on public health and socioeconomic development is realized. National and local planning processes should facilitate and support women's participation. |
