| Summary: | The severe conditions in Zimbabwe, which
reached a nadir in 2008 and 2009, led to a collapse of basic
systems including the reliability and safety of water supply
and sanitation services, leading to an outbreak of cholera
with more than 4,000 deaths and over 90,000 people infected.
The World Bank provided Technical Assistance (TA) to the
City of Harare to improve water and sanitation services in
the period October 2012 to June 2014 to the value of
approximately 600,000 US dollars. This Summary Note
summarizes the key elements of the work undertaken and makes
a set of recommendations to the City of Harare, the adjacent
local authorities of Chitungwiza, Epworth, Norton and Ruwa,
and Government of Zimbabwe to inform a strategic plan to
improve water and Sanitation services in the greater Harare
area. This Summary Note also sets out the context at the
commencement of the TA, summarizes the work undertaken in
the TA and the outcomes from this work, and makes
recommendations for the way forward. |
