Any research projects or literature that you know about how to improve rural infrastructure in West Africa?
I'm looking for methodologies and case studies for interventions around, housing, WaSH, energy inclusion, Water Harvesting, Food Security, etc.
Have you designed/implemented/evaluated any projects using participatory methodologies with the communities? do you have any concrete examples?

Water Security is one of the most (if not the most) nagging issues in water-scarce countries. Examples for sustainable development in the arid region are given in the following discussions:
