In Dambatta Local Government Area (LGA) of Kano State, water scarcity and the sustainability of existing water projects remain pressing challenges. Development communication serves as a vital tool in promoting water project sustainability by facilitating stakeholder engagement, educating communities on water conservation, and ensuring accountability.
