COUNTRY CONTEXT
A high percentage of the Costa Rican population has access to safe and properly managed water (80%), but 20% of the population still only has access to “basic” water (water that comes from an improved water source but is far from their home). In terms of sanitation, the figures are not so positive: only 30% of the population has properly managed facilities (not shared with other households and where excreta are disposed of safely) and there is a significant gap in some rural areas.
