KEY MESSAGES
- Water Access: Findings indicate that the process of walking to, queuing, fetching and returning with water can be importantly time consuming, with nearly half of the respondents reporting to take over one hour to do so.
- Sanitation: At the time of data collection Malakal Town had a relatively high number of non-functional latrines, leaving the community with only a small number of well-maintained, functioning facilities. The primary type of latrine facility available is shared latrines (used by multiple households), followed by communal latrines. While nearly half of the facilities have handwashing stations, only a minority of them are functional. Among these few functional ones, the great majority avail handwashing material.
- Education: Findings indicate that the distance to educational facilities is a significant factor in student dropouts, suggesting that a shortage of accessible and functional facilities limits access to education in Malakal Town.
