Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of a novel financial and capacity strengthening intervention (the 'Water Quality Assurance Fund' program) on water safety management in rural Ghana and Kenya. The investigators hypothesize the intervention will improve water system operator knowledge, chlorination practices, and water quality at the point of collection, as well as improve consumer satisfaction, awareness, and willingness-to-pay for water that is tested and treated.
Eligibility Criteria
Eligibility to receive the intervention was determined by water system criteria: Inclusion Criteria: * The district or county government was interested in participating in the Assurance Fund program and water systems within the district/county were accessible to a partner central laboratory that was able to provide water sample collection and testing services for a fee. * Water systems were functional. * Water systems were piped water systems (Kenya, Ghana) or mechanized boreholes with a single tapstand (Ghana). * Water systems could afford regular water quality testing from the selected laboratory. Exclusion Criteria: * Water systems did not meet above inclusion criteria. To be eligible to participate in household surveys, participants need to be at least 18 years of age and a customer of a eligible water system.
