Multinational - Support to the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Regional Water supply and Sanitation Programme

This project is a Support to the SADC Regional Water Supply and Sanitation Programme (SADC RWSSP). SADC RWSSP is an integral component of the Regional Strategic Action Plan (RSAP) on Integrated Water Resources Development and Management. It was developed in 2004 based on national and regional situation analyses of water supply and sanitation (WSS) service provision in SADC Member States. The SADC project which is anchored in the regional policy and strategy framework, addresses issues constraining WSS service delivery in a number of countries in the SADC region. It includes activities to improve financing mechanisms, leverage domestic and external finances for WSS, plan and allocate financial resources more efficiently, monitor finances to better target basic services for the poor. These measures facilitate increased funding for water sector investment and increased access to WSS and achievement of the Southern African Water Vision as well as the MDGs in the Member Countries in SADC region. The total project cost is €2,106,000, and its duration is 27 months.
