Title
RiPPLE - Economic impacts of access to water
and sanitation in Ethiopia: Evidence from the Welfare Monitoring Surveys
Abstract
The aim of this study is to explore the potential linkages between access to water and sanitation and
growth-related indicators in Ethiopia. While the expected benefits from investments in water and
sanitation on poverty are immense, there is still only a small (although growing) body of empirical
evidence on the issue.
This study uses data from Ethiopia’s Welfare Monitoring Surveys collected by the Central Statistics
Agency in 1999/2000 and 2004/2005 to explore the links between access to water and sanitation and
economic growth. Econometric analysis is used to examine the relationship between access to water
and sanitation and the following factors: productive employment (used as a proxy for household
income), enrolment of children in school, health status, and the self-reported food situation and
overall welfare situation of households.
