Sanitation and water supplies are critical to health and an adequate standard of living. In Papua New Guinea water supplies in both rural and urban areas are installed with no attention to the social and cultural aspects of water use and personal hygiene. This paper argues that improved hygiene and sanitation could be achieved if sufficient resources were focused on the people who use water and sanitation systems and not simply on the systems themselves.
