Determinants of households’ access to improved drinking water sources in Somalia: insights from the Somali Integrated Household Budget Survey (SIHBS) 2022

This article examined the determinants that impact access to potable water from better sources. While overall national access to better-quality water is good, a gap between urban and rural water access exists. To ensure that households headed by females, particularly in rural settings, have adequate access to water from improved sources, the government and its value development partners should develop policies to inform the community about the benefits of improved water sources, thereby reducing WASH-related health problems.
