Rural
Water Supply and Sanitation Programme in the Sofala Province
The
main objective of the ADC co-financed rural development programme in Mozambique
is to contribute to the reduction of the poverty for families living in the rural
areas and the semi-urban growth centres in the Sofala Province. The project contributes
to this overall objective by promotion of potable water supply and adequate sanitation,
involving three strategic partners; the end users and their water supply and sanitation
committees (WAS), the districts (of Buzi, Cheringoma, Chibabava and Marromeu with
the municipalities of Dondo and Marromeu), and the Department of Water and Sanitation
(DAS) within the provincial government's Directorate for Public Works and Housing
(DPOPH). The water schemes in the district municipalities Marromeu and Inhaminga
are to be rehabilitated and an organisational setting developed. The project aims
to develop capacity at each of these levels and provide the basis for strategic
and sustainable interventions throughout the province and to support the development
of a sector wide approach in support of the implementation of the official national
water transition plan. |
