We were inspired by Japan’s strong culture of discipline and continuous improvement in managing water supply and sanitation facilities in both rural and urban areas. The discussions and field exposure provided us with practical solutions that can be adopted to our various local contents.

We appreciate the technical support and are committed to applying the knowledge gained to improve rural water and sanitation services in our respective countries. We extend our sincere gratitude to JICA Kyushu‚ Kyushu International Techno-Cooperative Association (KITA)‚ the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)‚ the Government of Japan and all our beloved facilitators for their valuable support.
