Rehabilitation and Construction of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) infrastructure in rural Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is on the path of recovery and transition. However where millions of people remain without access to a regular supply of safe water and sanitation, the risk of renewed outbreaks of water prone diseases is high and a real threat to both public health and development. In order to improve the WASH situation in rural Zimbabwe, the UNICEF managed pooled Rural WASH Fund tackles the problem on three different levels through the 1) improvement of the WASH infrastructure 2) the development of relevant capacities and 3) the leading of a sector wide policy dialogue. This triple approach reflects SDC strategy for Zimbabwe which is supporting the WASH sector with hardware, software and through coordinated policy dialogue.

| Contesto |
Zimbabwe’s water supply and sanitation services collapse contributed to the 2008-2009 cholera outbreaks where officially 4,200 people died. The combination of aging equipment, inadequate and erratic power supplies to operate pumps, a shortage of skilled technicians and the lack of investment have left millions of people without access to safe water and sanitation. The imbalance between urban and rural services remains a distinctive feature. The Rural Wash is responding to this imbalance by addressing specific WASH needs in rural Zimbabwe. |
