Urban youth in Dakar slums face significant challenges related to access to sustainable water supply systems, which can lead to health risks and hinder socio-economic development. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including surveys, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews to gather data from a sample population of urban youth and community leaders. The analysis revealed that community participation significantly improved the maintenance and sustainability of water supply systems (p < 0. 05), with an engagement level of at least 70% among surveyed participants. Community-led initiatives were identified as a critical factor in ensuring long-term success and scalability of sustainable water supply projects for urban youth in Dakar slums. Local authorities should prioritise community involvement in the planning, implementation, and maintenance of water infrastructure to foster sustainability and inclusivity. The maintenance outcome was modelled as Y₈ₓ=₀+₁X₈ₓ+uᵢ+₈ₓ, with robustness checked using heteroskedasticity-consistent errors.
