Title
RiPPLE - Linkages between Water Supply and
Sanitation and Food Security:
A case study in four villages of
East Hararghe zone, Oromia region
Abstract
The central purpose of this study is to assess the linkages between water supply and sanitation
(WSS) and food security at a micro level by taking a sample of villages with and without water
schemes in East Hararghe zone of Oromia region. East Hararghe is characterised by water scarcity
and food insecurity.
This study uses an analytical framework that identifies the multiple attributes related to both WSS
and food security and offers assumptions as to the nature of their interconnections. The framework
assumes two-way relationships between WSS and food security at household level. Access to
sufficient and safe water on a sustainable basis will help in the various dimensions of food security,
that is, reducing vulnerability to shocks; increasing food availability and access; and enhancing the
utilisation components by improving health and sanitation. These dimensions enhance people’s wellbeing
and food security status.
