Supported by the Government of the Netherlands and UNICEF, this WASH assessment was conducted in June 2024 by REACH in collaboration with the County Governments of Garissa and Turkana, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health, UNHCR, and the Refugee Affairs Secretariat. The assessment aimed to provide evidence-based information to influence humanitarian planning and responses within the WASH sector. Schools and HFs in Turkana and Garissa Counties were targeted in the host communities, Kalobeyei integrated settlement, and in Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps. A descriptive study design, census methodology, and quantitative approach were employed to collect and analyze the data. The assessment included 723 public primary schools and 306 public HFs in the two counties and camps. The findings revealed that communities face diverse priority WASH needs, underscoring the critical importance of developing tailored responses that address specific gaps and challenges in each facility.
