dc.description.abstractThis research was carried to assess the effect of the Millennium Development Goals water projects on socio-economic development of household in Kudan Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Nigeria. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of MDGs rural water supply programme on the people in the study area. The objectives of the study are to: Characterized the sources of domestic water supply before and after the MDG projects, examined the level of accessibility to potable water in the study area before and after the execution of MDGs water projects, examine the socio-economic effect of MDGs rural water supply. The study made use of primary data collected from field observation, using in-depth interview with key officials and administration of structured questionnaire. Seven rural communities were selected based on the availability of MDG water project for this study and 375 respondents were sampled. The descriptive statistical techniques involving calculations of frequency, percentage and tables were used to summarize the data collected. In addition Chi-square test was employed to test the hypotheses for differences on access to potable water by household, major sources of water, distance to source of water, travel time, amount spent, and prevalence of water related diseases before and after MDGs intervention. The findings revealed about (55.3%) of respondents reported that they covered the distance of <200 meters before MDGs water projects while(49.8%) covered the same distance after MDGs intervention. Also (46.5%) and (44.1%) of respondents reported that the cost of water before and after MDG water project is less than ₦100. The result shows that no increase water sources, no reduction of distance travelled or travel time to water sources after MDGs project this is due to the fact that MDGs water sources were not enough, and spatially distributed rather were constructed to satisfy the political interest of the privileged few of the locality. However, there was noticeable reduction (93%) in prevalence of water related diseases after the project. The study therefore, recommends proper need assessment on number of water source require as well as proper siting of the projects where they will be more effective and beneficial to the larger community than siting them around vested interests of local opinion leaders, rulers and politiciansen_US
