Beschreibung
The political and economic situation in Zimbabwe caused a deterioration of the municipal infrastructure where existing services operate only at a fraction of their original capacity. The objective of this project was to restore and rehabilitate municipal services including water supply, sewerage and solid waste management. Consequently, the project increased the proportion of municipal solid waste collected and managed in controlled facilities and ensured reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure as well as universal, equitable and affordable sanitation and safe drinking water.
The project comprised the five towns of Kadoma, Gweru, Norton, Kariba and Chinhoyi and was clustered around the key areas of strategic planning and transition management, financial management, billing and revenue collection and operational and technical management.
The project worked on increasing user’s willingness to pay as a result of improved services, which in turn led to improved and restored financial resources and further investments in improving the services of the municipalities.
