Description

Prior to the implementation of this project, Zimbabwe’s water sector required urgent rehabilitation and restoration of services. After the country’s transition out of an agricultural economy, the large-scale water infrastructure became underutilized. It then became important to provide assistance strategically targeted to both meet the pressing needs for the reestablishment of services and provide the required infrastructure platform in the water sector to underpin growth.
Consequently, this project prepared a Water Sector Investment Analysis to guide the World Bank’s future investment in the water sector and contribute towards the government’s preparation of a Water Sector Investment Strategy.
