V. Performance Results (continued)
PERFORMANCE GOAL #2 — Improve Disaster Prevention and Response Through Capacity Building in Crisis-Prone Countries
Program Goal: Partner Accountability
Ensure that partners have the appropriate training and support to build local capacity in disaster preparedness and mitigation.
USAID supports the construction of approximately 60 rural water and sanitation systems
per year in Honduras. The approach includes not only construction of water and sanitation
infrastructure, but also community participation to insure sustainability, and health
education to bring about changes in health behavior. The presence of potable water in
communities and adequate disposal of human waste brings about a decrease in diarrhea and
ultimately a decrease in infant and child mortality.
