Immediately following this assessment, stakeholders, through a national policy task force, have developed a draft of the country s first National Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Policy. During the course of the assessment and policy development, peri-urban and informal settlements have been consistently identified as areas which are underserviced and overlooked for water and sanitation services. The need to provide affordable and appropriate services in settlements, as well as improve health and living conditions, was highlighted. Amongst stakeholders, it was agreed that baseline information on WASH conditions in settlements was needed in order to develop strategies and to respond appropriately to needs of settlements in the future. Previous settlement research has focused on urbanization, housing ownership, land issues, employment, and anthropology, but WASH has not been researched specifically or in depth. Therefore in 2014, the Water and Sanitation Program of the World Bank (WSP), together with key stakeholders, conducted research in informal settlements in the capital Port Moresby and a representative provincial town (Wewak) to understand the conditions, aspirations, barriers and opportunities to improve water, sanitation and hygiene for informal settlers.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOBUCKET OF WATERCASH FLOWCITIESCITY COUNCILCLEAN WATERCLINICSCOLLECTION SYSTEMCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY LEADERSCOMMUNITY WELLCONNECTION POLICYCONNECTIONS POLICYCONSTRUCTIONCUBIC METREDECISION MAKINGDESCRIPTIONDIRTY WATERDOMESTIC USEDOMESTIC WATERDRAINDRAINSDRINKING WATERDRINKING WATER SUPPLYDRY PITDUG WELLSDWELLINGENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHEVICTIONFEMALEFEMALESFORMAL UTILITYGENDERGROUND WATERGROUNDWATERHABITATHIGH WATER TABLEHOMESHOSPITALSHOUSEHOLD CONNECTIONHOUSEHOLD CONNECTIONSHOUSEHOLD WATER CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLDSHOUSESHOUSINGHOUSING DENSITYHOUSING DEVELOPMENTHOUSING POLICYHOUSING RIGHTSHOUSING UNITSHUMAN SETTLEMENTSHYGIENEILLEGAL CONNECTIONINFORMAL SETTLEMENTSIRONLAND SETTLEMENTLAND TENURELAUNDRYLIVING CONDITIONSLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL PARTNERSMETER READERSMOBILE CLINICSMONTHLY WATERMONTHLY WATER BILLNATIONAL WATEROCCUPANCYOCCUPATIONOPEN DEFECATIONOVERCROWDINGOWNERSHIP OF LANDPHYSICAL PLANNINGPIPED WATERPIT LATRINEPIT LATRINESPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION GROWTH RATEPUBLIC TAPPUBLIC TOILETSQUALITY OF WATERQUANTITIES OF WATERRAINWATER TANKSRAW WATERRENTINGRENTSRESIDENTIAL AREASRIVERSRURAL AREASRURAL SANITATIONRURAL WATERRURAL WATER SUPPLYSAFE WATERSAFETYSANITATION FACILITIESSANITATION INFRASTRUCTURESANITATION OPTIONSSANITATION PROBLEMSANITATION PROGRAMSANITATION SERVICESSEPTIC SYSTEMSSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE IMPROVEMENTSERVICE PROVIDERSERVICE PROVIDERSSERVICE PROVISIONSETTLEMENTSETTLERSSEWERAGESEWERAGE SYSTEMSHOPSSOCIAL SCIENCESSOLID WASTESOURCES OF WATERSQUATTERSQUATTER SETTLEMENTSSQUATTERSSUPPLY WATERTOILETTOILET BOWLTOILET PITSTOWNTOWN PLANNINGTOWNSURBAN AREAURBAN AREASURBAN COMMUNITYURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN GROWTHURBAN LANDURBAN PLANNINGURBAN POPULATIONURBAN POPULATIONSURBAN SANITATIONURBAN SETTLEMENTSURBAN WATERURBANIZATIONUSE OF WATERUSERSUTILITIESVILLAGESWASHINGWASHING HANDSWASTE WATERWASTEWATERWASTEWATER DISPOSALWATER BILLSWATER COLLECTIONWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER CONTAMINATIONWATER METERWATER POINTWATER POINTSWATER POLLUTIONWATER SHORTAGESWATER SOURCEWATER SUPPLYWATER SUPPLY SERVICEWATER SUPPLY SITUATIONWATER TABLEWATER TREATMENTWATER USAGEWATER USEWATER UTILITIESWELLSYOUTH10.1596/20398
