Preface

The Government of Tanzania instituted water sector reforms in early 2000s as articulated in the

National Water Policy (2002). The overall objective of the reforms, as being coordinated by the

Water Sector Development Programme, is to strengthen sector institutions for integrated water

resources management and improve access to clean and safe water supply and sanitation

services. There are a number of instruments which have been established since then in order to

facilitate efficient and effective implementation of the reforms. Keys among them include; the

National Water Sector Development Strategy (2006 – 2015), Water Resources Management

Act No. 11 of 2009, Water Supply and Sanitation Act No. 12 of 2009, to mention, just a few.

The collaborative efforts between the Government and the DPs have by June 2012, attracted to

water sector the total commitments of about USD 1,299 million, an increase of USD 348

million, equivalent to 36% of the initial planned investment portfolio of the Programme‟s Phase

I amounting to USD 951 million. In the same period, the actual disbursements have reached

USD 789 million which is equivalent to financial performance of about 61%.

In the medium term, WSDP is set to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (2000 - 2015)

and MKUKUTA II (2010 - 2015) target at increasing access in rural areas from 57.8% in 2010

to 65%; regional capitals from 84% in 2010 to 95%; Dar es Salaam from 55% in 2010 to 75%;

district, small towns and national projects from 53% in 2010 to 57% by 2015. All water basin

institutions to be strengthened and fully operational and have integrated basin water resources

management and development plans approved by basin stakeholders by 2015. On sanitation,

the targets include increasing the coverage of sewerage services from 18% in 2010 to 22% in

2015; and increasing basic sanitation from 86% in 2010 to 95% in 2015. In the long-term

WSDP is set to achieve the Tanzania Development Vision (2025) targets at increasing access to

clean and safe water in rural areas to 90% and universal access in urban areas by 2025.

In implementation of the WSDP, the GoT and DPs agreed to use a number of instruments and

tools as reflected in the revised MOU, revised dialogue mechanism and revised PIM in order to

facilitate effective coordination and decision making, monitoring and evaluation, learning and

accountability. Key among them is for the GoT to prepare water sector status reports on annual

basis in order to facilitate discussion by the water sector stakeholders on key sector issues and

challenges facing implementation of WSDP, share experiences between stakeholders, and

suggest options for improved implementation of WSDP in the future.

x

In response to the jointly agreed arrangement as described above, MoW in collaboration with

other line ministries, prepared and shared the Water Sector Status Report 2012 with the key

water sector stakeholders in September, 2012, for discussion during these two days.

It is our hope that you had enough time to go through the report and the GoT is open for

discussion on water sector issues, and considers the comments that you may have with regard

to improved performance of WSDP in the future.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Water Sector Status Report 2012 (the Report) presents the status of the water sector for the

Programme components and sector financing as at 30th

June, 2012. The Report also highlights

challenges and constraints encountered and suggest remedial measures for improved

performance of the Programme in the future. Inputs for the Report were derived from the

Programme implementation progress reports, Joint supervision Mission Aide Memoires and

other water sector analytical documents.

SECTOR FINANCING

The Government of Tanzania (GoT) in collaboration with Development Partners (DPs)

committed funds to finance the WSDP in the first phase of five years period from 2007/2008 to

2011/2012 at an estimated cost of USD 951 million. The GoT committed to contribute USD

251 million, which is equivalent to 26%; and DPs USD 700 million, which is equivalent to

74%.

After the Programme restructuring in 2011, it was found that the implementation of some

investment projects would go beyond June 2012. It was jointly (GoT and DPs) agreed to extend

the implementation of Phase I of WSDP (phase I) for two years period to June 2014. During the

implementation of phase I, more commitments have been received from DPs. By the end of

March 2012, the total amount committed reached USD 1,299 million, an increase of USD 348

million, equivalent to 36% of the original estimates.

Total disbursements from both GoT and DPs as at 30th

June, 2012, reached USD 789million

against total revised commitments of USD 1.2billion, equivalent to 61%. Disbursements for

WRM component reached USD 35million against revised commitments of USD 69million,

equivalent to 52%; disbursements for RWSS component reached USD 241million against

revised commitments of USD 463million, equivalent to 52%; disbursements for UWSS

component reached USD 420million against revised commitments of USD 698million,

equivalent to 60%; Disbursements for IS & CD reached USD 40million against revised

commitments of USD 69million, equivalent to 59%.

Of the total amount disbursed (USD 789million), USD 658million had been reported to be

spent, equivalent to 83%, and the remaining balances were still in the Holding Account (USD

51million) and in the accounts of some LGAs, Small Towns, District Head Quarters and WBOs

due to delays in procurement of consultants.

The major challenge faced in the course of implementation is how to expedite procurement

processes in IAs, especially, the Basins and Small Towns, as well as strengthening the

monitoring and evaluation capabilities of LGAs to enable effective contract administration and

management.

WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

Freshwater is a basic natural resource, which sustains life and provides for various social and

economic needs. Tanzania has experienced widespread shortages in its surface and

2

groundwater in many areas. The water shortages result from a number of factors including

reduced and delayed rains, increasing mult-sectoral demands, degradation of water catchments

due to pollution, over abstraction, poor land use practices, and encroachment of land for

agriculture, urbanization and industrial development.

Growing Water Resources Development and Management Concerns include inadequate water

storage infrastructure that is impeding the nation‟s ability to deal with climate variability and it

is impact to food, energy, water and environmental security. Climate change is going to further

stress the nation‟s water resources.

Lesson Learnt from Basin Water Boards reports presented to the BWBs Annual General

meeting in July 2012 shows that, in the past three consecutive years, many parts of the country

were faced with shortage of water supplies for various uses due to shortage of rainfall during

the short and long rain seasons. Water levels in all major hydropower dams are low and

declining, the case of Mtera and Nyumba ya Mungu where power generation has been affected

resulting in economic instability. The issues of data collection, rehabilitation and construction

of water resources monitoring stations as well as management information system have been

noted as important requirement for all BWBs.

Inadequate investments in reliable water infrastructure and the low capacity of water resources

management institutions are contributing to water insecurity and stress, perpetuating local and

regional water use conflicts, and imposing losses to the economy.

As a way forward, for basins to manage water resources efficiently and to address issues of

water resources availability as well as to improve water security for the country, several

initiatives are been undertaken by the government in collaboration with Development Partners

and other stakeholders under WSDP. The initiatives include preparation and implementation of

Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) plans which will address issues of

sustainable allocation and conservation of water resources, Strengthening of BWBs to carry out

their mandated tasks through provision of equipment for data collection and monitoring for

informed decision making, rehabilitation and building of Basins Water and Laboratory offices

and , Implementation of water Pollution control strategy, and Strengthening of Water resources

management institutions and formation of new ones according to the WRMA 2009 .

Status on Implementation of WSDP Planned Activities under Water Resources Management

The objectives of the WRMD component of WSDP is to develop a sound water resources

management and development framework in all nine water basins, for optimizing the utilization

of the water resources in a sustainable manner for the various competing uses. The WRMD

component comprises of three main sub-components, namely; Basin Level Water Resources

Management, Integrated River and Lake Basin Management and Development plans, and

Priority water resources infrastructure investment. Major achievements made in

3

implementation of planned activities include, commencement of preparation of IWRMD Plans

for Pangani, Ruvuma, Lake Tanganyika, Lake Rukwa and Lake Nyasa basins,

operationalization of the Water Pollution Control Strategy in all nine (9) water basins, the

inauguration of National Water Board (NWB)) on 26 July 2012 and the inauguration and

commencement of Songwe River Basin Development Program.

Strengthening of Basin Water Resources Management include implementation of the Water

Resources Management Act 11, 2009, which became effective in August 2009, whereby three

regulations have been prepared and gazetted. Basin Water Boards for 8 out of 9 Basins water

Offices are in place except for Lake Tanganyika BWB whose tenure expired in May 2012.

Process is underway to form a new Board. The process to form Water user Association

(WUAs) is ongoing in all the 9 Water Basins and up to June 2012, a total of 53 WUAs have

been formed. Basin Water Boards have continued to grant water use permits according to new

WRMA and re-register old water rights and a total of 605 water use permits granted. Process of

protecting and conserving water sources is a continuous activity implemented by in all BWBs.

In order to conserve water sources from pollution, Basin water offices in collaboration with

other actors, made a close follow up of activities which are potential sources for pollution and

where necessary, directions are drawn. Water use conflicts among users have been experienced

in almost all basins. A total of 27 water use conflicts were reported in 2011/2012, of which 26

were resolved. Water resources monitoring and exploration equipment have been secured and

are ready for installation and use in data collection. All Basins continued to carry out water

abstractions inspection to make sure that all users comply with their water permit conditions. A

total of 5,107 water samples from boreholes, water supply networks, lakes, rivers and dams,

were collected and analyzed out of 8,000 water samples targeted Monitoring of effluents

discharged to the environment (water bodies) has been carried out to ensure that waste water

returned to the environment is within the allowable limit. A total of 612 wastewater samples

out of 1,000 targeted were collected and analyzed.

In this financial year, most of the planned activities have not been implemented due to

inadequate operational funds. Basin Water Boards still depend to a large extent on the funds

disbursed from the Ministry of Water for implementation of all development activities and in

meeting some of the recurrent costs for supporting staff, conducting minor repairs of the basin

data collection stations and buildings and for office management. Dependency of the Boards is

attributed to poor fee structures that do not reflect actual value for water being abstracted by

various users. A study for Water Resources Management-Financing Options is being

undertaken and expected to be accomplished in the FY 2012/2013.

To enable efficient planning and allocation of Water Resources Basin Water Boards are in a

process to prepare IWRMDPs . Preparation and implementation of Integrated Water Resources

4

Management (IWRMD) plans will address issues of sustainable allocation and conservation of

water resources.

Several Transboundary Water Management Initiatives are ongoing, with various

accomplishments made in transboundary water resources management nitiatives under Lake

Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, Lake Chala/Jipe and Umba River, Zambezi River and Songwe

River.

WRM Challenges

The growing WRM concerns and challenges include; acute water use conflicts experienced in

many parts of the country especially in Pangani, Internal drainage, Rufiji and Lake Rukwa

Basins, illegal water abstractions, encroachment and degradation of water sources as a result of

growing human development activities in water catchments and inadequate funding of the

Basin Water Boards.

Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (RWSS)

During the financial year 2011/2012, Component 2 made a significant development towards

increasing people's access to clean and safe water and basic sanitation services. This has been

done through Local Government Authorities Management Support, National Sanitation

Campaign and Investments in RWSS Subcomponents.

The status of implementation and sub-strategic intervention include; Monitoring

implementation of WSDP implementation at LGAs level, preparation of WSDP Reports were

prepared including first quarter, second quarter, semi-annual, third quarter and annual progress

reports from LGAs, RSs and MoW .In order to have non-conflicting data on the number of

water points available and the rural population served, it was planned to carry out a water point

mapping. From September 2011 to April 2012, data collection was done in 19 LGAs and

prototype web based monitoring system developed.

To enhance implementation of the Capacity Development of RWSTs, CWSTs and BWOs, The

water sector has been implementing a Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Capacity

Development (RUWASACAD) phase 2 by support of JICA, preparation, submission and

discussion of inception report were done while consultant has carried out baseline survey.

The component is also in a process to develop rural water supply Sustainability Strategy to be

followed by implementation action plan.

National Sanitation Campaign and School – WASH

In response to issues raised during the restructuring plan, MoHSW, MoEVT and PMO-RALG

launched the National Sanitation Campaign (NSC). 42 LGAs from 12 regions for

implementation of National Sanitation Campaign have been selected; National WASH Strategy

5

has been prepared and approved by management. The campaign has started in 42 LGAs as the

point of start, which then will expand proportionately into the remaining LGAs.

School - Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (School - WASH) Campaign

The importance of school WASH has been recognized in national policy debates. The new

MKUKUTA II, for example, has included a specific target that 100% of schools should have

adequate sanitation.

The MoEVT has performed various activities as a way of implementing the Sanitation

Campaign, and include; completion and approved the National Strategic Plan for School Water

Sanitation and Hygiene, training of Regional Education Officers for ten regions, training of

National facilitators (83), training of District Education Officers from 42 LGAs, Mapping of

SWASH actors, Developing of SWASH Guideline, Formation of SWASH Clubs in schools in

some LGAs.

Investments in RWSS Subprojects

The sub- component consist of several activities which include; construction, drilling of wells,

boreholes and installation of hand pumps, piped systems using pumped water from boreholes or

gravity fed water from springs or rivers.

The status of implementation as of June 2012, 130 LGAs out of 132 had procured and signed

contracts with consulting firms for provision of the technical and facilitation of service delivery

in their respective jurisdiction.

The status of implementation sub projects in 10 selected villages in each LGA is; 62 LGAs

have attained “no objection” from MoW to start construction of water sub projects in some of

the villages. 53 LGAs have attained “no objection” from MoW to advertise tenders for

construction of water projects and they are in various stages of implementation, remaining

LGAs are at different stages of implementation.

Construction and rehabilitation of medium size dams in dry areas continued through

construction and rehabilitation of Dams of medium size dams in semi arid areas such as

Wegero (Musoma) dam constructed; and construction /rehabilitation of other 7 medium sized

dams is ongoing.

Achievements agaist Planned (MKUKUTA II) Targets and MDG Targets

Based on MKUKUTA II, the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation component planned to

increase access to clean and safe water supply from 58.7% in 2009 to 65% in June 2015, which

is equivalent to addition of 2.22 million new beneficiaries in rural areas by 2015. As per

6

December 2011 the trend shows that water coverage is at 56.6%. The decline is due to various

reasons; including drying off of water sources as a result of droughts in various parts of the

country. The sanitation trend shows that in December 2011 improved sanitation at household

level was at 9%. In assessing the implementation against MDG Targets, using routine data

system, the actual trend indicates an increase from 48% in 1990, to 51% in 2000, to 53% in

2003 to 57.1% in 2007, to 57.8% in 2010, to 56.6% in 2011. This is an increase of 8.6% during

the 1990- 2011 period. On the other hand, with more than 90% of the household population in

the rural areas with access to basic sanitation, the country appears to be on track to meet the

sanitation target of the 2015.

Challenges in RWSS

Financing in investment in Rural areas remains low compared to investments made in urban

and small towns. While the sector faces considerable capacity challenge. COWSOs have been

given sustainability responsibilities. However, they lack effective tools and experience in

managing schemes. Another challenge is the increased unit costs in investment due to the shift

in the selection of water supply technologies by communities due to improved level of

development in rural areas. Other challenges are drying up of water sources during dry season

due to Climate change coupled with Low Capacity at LGAs and RSs levels in terms of human

resources, equipment and systems and low capacity of the private sector in executing works.

Urban Water Supply and Sanitation

Component 3 of WSDP provides support to improve utility performance in the DAWASA

service area; 19 regional Urban Water Supply and Sanitation (UWSAs) utilities, a total of 109

small towns and district headquarters, as well as gazetted small towns and 7 national schemes

in the provision of water and sanitation services.

The component has two sub components: (1) Management support for Urban Water and

Sewerage Authorities and (2) Urban WSS investments (works as well as goods and services).

Urban Water and Sewerage Authorities Management Support

Rehabilitation and Construction of UWSSs‟ offices: The target was to continue with

construction of Babati new office and procure works for Sumbawanga UWSS. The

construction progress of new UWSS office in Babati has reached 32%, whereas the detailed

design and tender documents for Sumbawanga are completed. Procurement of works for 3

offices in small towns of Mpwapwa, Utete, and Tunduma is also ongoing at various stages.

Water Supply and Sanitation Studies: On provision of technical advisory services to assist the

Regional UWSSs and Small Towns; the feasibility studies, detailed designs and tender

7

document preparations for all of the seven (7) towns of Bukoba, Musoma, Babati, Lindi,

Sumbawanga, Mtwara and Kigoma, were completed; also design studies for Bunda, Mugumu,

Tarime, Mugango/Kiabakari Water Supply systems and Musoma sewerage were completed;

and Supervisions of Immediate Works in Mtwara, Lindi and Babati are in progress.

Revision of DAWASA Act: MoW submitted the proposed amendments of the DAWASA Act to

the Chief Parliamentary Draftsman (CPD) for vetting, comments received and the draft cabinet

paper presented to the stakeholders for more comments. Thereafter it was re-submitted to the

Cabinet Secretariat for further steps. EWURA Board has approved the lease Contract between

DAWASA and DAWASCO and both entities have signed the document. It is now ready for

use.

Clustering: There are two forms of clusters namely; Model II where category A Regional

Authorities are clustered with district/small towns water authorities and cluster I where small

town‟s water authorities are clustered themselves. The studies on both models raised various

Policy and Legal issues that were required to be addressed before full implementation. The

issues include D by D Policy, Human resources, Institutional set up, Clustering Regulations and

Financial support during transition period and legal issues regarding LGAs and Regional Water

Authorities. A Team of members from MoW, PMO-RALG and EWURA was appointed to

review the issues so as to propose the way forward. The team strongly recommended that the

utilities should ensured continued financial support both from both Local Government and

Central Government until their financial viability is attained and also they should undertake

capacity building for billing and revenue collection. The team also recommended that the

Clustering to start in phases as well as involvement of LGAs and Councils. However the issue

of Board dissolution remain pending. Thereafter the process of clustering will start after

finalizing the Clustering regulation.

Urban Water Supply and Sewerage Investment

A total of 5 DUWSSs of Orkesumet, Maswa, Mwanga, Himo and Karatu implemented

immediate works (quick wins). 18 production boreholes (discharge capacity 3,500m3) were

drilled and installed in Dar es Salaam areas namely, Mbagala Kuu, makangarawe, Tandika,

Mtoni Mashine ya Maji (Temeke); Tandale and Barafu (Kinondoni); and Tabata Kisiwani,

Kiwalani and Kinyerezi (Ilala). Also implementation of expansion of water supply services in

groups I to IV towns, and in district head quarters and small towns (group V), was ongoing

though in varied progress ranging from 50% to 95% in some of the towns.

Feasibility study and design for Kidunda dam has been completed, however, the contract for

Consultant has been amended and extended to August 2012, in order to finalize design of the

dam including hydropower related facilities. Draft ESIA report and RAP for Kidunda dam was

prepared and commented; also the Terms of Reference (TOR) for ESIA (the access road 75

km) has been prepared and commented. The design consultancy for the access road is at the

inception stage. Phase I report on Conceptual Aquifer Model for Kimbiji and a draft Technical

8

specification and bidding document have also been submitted and commented. The Technical

feasibility study and ESIA/RAP for Kidunda dam are under preparation.

The contract for design and supervision of expansion of Upper Ruvu (Water Treatment Plant)

and construction of the Trunk Main/Transmission Line was signed and started in March 2012;

Compensation of the affected people is completed and supervision consultant is already in

place. DAWASA launched Tenders for works, in which construction is expected to commence

soon after receiving No-objection from World Bank. The project will be completed after 15

months.

The targets for urban water supply and sewerage are derived from MKUKUTA II. The targets

were to increase access to water supply in 19 regional water utilities from 84% in 2010 to 95%,

Dar es Salaam from 55% in 2010 to 75%, District and Small Towns from 53% in 2010 to 57%

by 2015. On sanitation the target include the coverage of sewerage service from 18% in 2010 to

22% in 2015. By June 2012, water supply coverage was 86% in the 19 urban regional

headquarters which were defined by MKUKUTA to represent urban sector. The coverage in

district head quarters and small towns was 53% and coverage in Dar es Salaam reached 67%.

MKUKUTA targets could not be realized due to various reasons, including delayed

implementation of planned investment sub projects. Status on various operational indicators

such as number of both water supply and sewerage connections, average hours of services and

length of distribution network is provided in detail in the main report.

Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building

Overall objective of this component is to provide support to Sector Institutional Strengthening

and Capacity Building. In operationalization of the New Role of the Ministry of Water, the

Ministry client service charter has been revised and now is operational. Phase 1 on

rehabilitation/construction of offices at the Ministry of Water Headquarters has been completed

except for block D for which BoQ and cost estimates have been prepared by the Consultant.

Rehabilitation work under Phase 2, to be financed by Government‟s own funds, is scheduled to

start in the coming FY 2012/13. MoW has decided to officially cancel the contract and restart

the new procurement process for Goods supply contract that was initiated in the year 2009 but

the delivery was not effected.

The Government has installed Water Sector Programme MIS, which became operational in

June 2011 at MoW, BWOs, LGAs, UWSAs, Agencies and National Water Projects. All

contracts and non contract payments under WSDP had been entered into the system. MIS data

also include earmarked projects from UWSAs, BWOs, LGAs and other IAs. The system is

implemented in phases in order to ensure sustainability based on lessons learnt. The Data

verification was done from November 2011 up to June 2012. To tackle noted challenges and to

enhance data management and information dissemination among the WSDP IAs ICT projects

have been developed and are in various stages of implementation. There are other several

noted challenges which are been addressed on continuous basis. The way forward include

9

among others to put in place adequate infrastructure and necessary training required and tools

(standardized tools, applications and procedures) required to support and maintain the sector

MIS environment.

On Components Program Management Support, Four Technical Advisers (TA) contracts for

component I are under procurement process, while TA for water quality management was

approved by MTB on May 14, 2012. The two acts namely; Water Resources Management Act

No. 11 and Water Supply and Sanitation Act No. 12, became effective in August 2009. Six

regulations have been gazetted , three for Water Resources Management Act No. 11 and three

for Water Supply and Sanitation Act No. 12 respectively.

On sector coordination, TWG 4 held an extraordinary meeting in February 2012 and all four

TWGs met in April, 2012. For the first time, the new Steering Committee (SC), held its first

meeting on February 16, 2012 where it was briefed on status of implementation of the program.

MoW conducted the 7th

and 8th

Joint supervision Mission in September 2011 and May 2012

respectively and the 6th Joint Water Sector Review (JWSR) meeting from 18th

-19th

October

2011.

On Support for Sector Capacity Building, no new recruitment and training was implemented

covering only few areas of monitoring and evaluation, record management, sustainable urban

water and sanitation, integrated process, communication, Information technology and

networking. The consultant to conduct training impact assessment is in place and has started

the assignment.

The delivery of library books for Water Development and Management Institute (WDMI) has

been completed and full paid by June 2012. The Institute has also has procured chemicals for

its laboratory, the delivery is 90%. To address the staff shortage and enhance the Institute‟s

management capacity, 31 staff are expected to be recruited through Public Service Recruitment

Secretariat including 3 Directors, the exercise is expected to be completed by September 2012.

Implementation of Safeguards Policies

The Environmental and Social Management Framework provides a strategic guide for the

integration of environmental and social considerations in Programme implementation. To build

the capacity of the IAs in implementation of safeguards, the The World Bank conducted

safeguards training that were attended by 54 staff associated with WSDP implementation. In

the period (July 2011 – June 2012), Screening was conducted for 164 projects from (10)

Regions namely Kigoma Kagera Lindi, Mara, Mbeya, Mtwara , Mwanza , Rukwa, Shinyanga,

and Tabora. Twenty nine (29) projects found to be under category A so need Environment

Impact Assessment (EIA).

Water Sector Monitoring Systems

10

The WSDP monitoring systems are set in such a way that they provide key decision making

information through both routine and survey data. The routine data measures progress on

access to services resulting from investment in water infrastructure throughout the country

while surveys measures the actual use of water infrastructure, thus revealing over- or under-

utilization of infrastructure relative to the installed capacity of the system. Currently, the online

functioning MIS does provide key WSDP operational data to stakeholders accordingly. As the

WSDP operational routine data are regularly uploaded in the MIS, production of quarterly IFRs

has become an easy task.

The Water Point Mapping

Producing accurate and up-to-date data on rural water supply infrastructure is one of the most

urgent challenges facing the sector. The Ministry of Water, together with Development

Partners, have previously made two attempts to solve the mentioned challenge by developing a

rural water supply database and Management Information System (MIS). However, in 2008,

the Joint Water Sector Review agreed that MoW should establish a single harmonized rural

water supply database.

WPM surveys involve collecting and analyzing rural water supply infrastructure data and

presenting it in a visual, easily understandable manner. As of July 2012, data have been

collected in 82 Local Government Authorities. The data from WPM in these districts will be

used for a number of purposes.The consultant has already conducted a water point mapping

survey and adjusted data for 63 LGAs with 2,042 wards and 4,985 villages. 35,641 public

water points were mapped, out of which 23,545 (66.1 %) were found to be functional while

12,096 (33.9%) were non – functional. Furthermore, the pretesting of established web-based

prototype monitoring system is underway including the uploading of data and information for

19 LGAs.

The routine data system, which is coordinated by the Ministry of Water as mentioned above

and national surveys coordinated by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) are the main data

sources for assessing performance in the water sector.

Performance Assessments

The WSDP implementation effort and performance indicators are assessed once at each end of

financial year. The current rating for the sector performance for implementation of WSDP

based on the financial year 2010-2011 stands as "moderate satisfactory" subject to change when

a new sector performance assessment result is out later before December 2012.

Status on the Use of Water and Sanitation

The water sector continued implementing the global program (WSDP) for the year ending

December 2011 as the effort towards reducing the waterborne diseases risks. Proportion of

11

households in rural settlements with access to clean and safe water from improved/protected

sources was 56.6%; a drop of 1.2 percentage points from the figure in 2010 (57.8%).

As the WSDP implementation continued across Tanzania mainland, specific interventions in

regional urban centers have tremendously increased the physical water supply facilities, though

the access to clean and safe water from improved/protected sources went down slightly to 81%

by December 2011 from the 86% in December 2010. The proportion of households in Dar es

Salaam with access to clean and safe water from improved/protected sources dropped to 51% in

the same period from the 55% in December 2010. Proportion of households in small towns

with access to clean and safe water from improved/protected sources within 30 minutes was

52.5%.

Given all interventions made under WSDP in terms of water supply and sanitation,

environmental and social safeguards. The general performance, especially in water supply

coverage declined due to a number of reasons.

Sanitation Services

The main sources of data on sanitation are household surveys, which report on types of toilets

and latrines used by households in Tanzania mainland. According the Tanzania Human

Development Report (THDR) published by the National Bureau of Statistics in December

2011, the proportion of households with access to a ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrine or a

flush toilet declined from 8% in 2007 to 6% in 2010. Furthermore, the use of traditional toilets

declined from 85% in 2007 to 79% in 2010. More effort is needed such that the target for basic

sanitation under MKUKUTA II is higher as 95% by 2015.

The MKUKUTA target for school sanitation requires that all schools meet the minimum

standard of one latrine for every 20 girls and one latrine for every 25 boys. The most recent

data on school sanitation collected by the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training-

Basic Education Statistics in Tanzania (BEST) and presented in the THDR, 2011, shows that

the national average of pupil to pit latrine ratios (PLR) by region is 53 pupils per latrine.

Implementation of Undertakings

The MoW has been able to implement most of the 2011 JWSR undertakings with the exception

of 2 undertakings (i) Preparation of WSDP phase II (which included preparation of objectives,

targets, activities and work plan).(ii) The harmonization of the work plan at national level to

that of LGA level by including activities funded by donors supporting direct to LGAs. The

status of implementation of the undertakings is that 2 out of 4 undertakings were completed by

component 1; 6 out of 11 by component 2; 4 out of 6 by component 6; and 7 out of 9

undertakings were completed by component 4. The delay in the implementation of 6th JWSR

undertakings for 2011 is due to several reasons among them accumulation of outstanding

12

unpaid certificates which hampers smooth implementation of planned activities. It is

recommended that, DPs and MoW should revert to disbursing funds according to disbursement

projections as far as data verification loaded in the MIS is completed.

Key Areas for WSDP Phase II

Key areas are identified for each programme component to be considered in preparation of

WSDP Phase II. Preparation of the WSDP Phase II will be undertaken on the basis of the whole

programme rather than allowing each component to have its own plan and approach.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

The Water Sector Development Programme (WSDP 2006 - 2025) with its sector wide approach

to planning arrangement was prepared by the Government of Tanzania, to facilitate the

management and development of the water sector. The program development objective is to

strengthen sector institutions for integrated water resources management and improve access to

water supply and sanitation services. This effort was in line with the National Water Policy

(NAWAPO - 2002) and the National Water Sector Development Strategy (2006), which aim at

developing a comprehensive framework for sustainable development of the country‟s water

resources. The legal and institutional frameworks, which guide sector performance and

development have been is in place since 2009 through enactment of the Water Resources

Management Act and the Water Supply and Sanitation Act. The ultimate objective is to attain

the Millennium Development Goals and targets of the National Strategy for Growth and

Poverty Reduction – MKUKUTA II.

The Programme is financed through two distinct funding mechanisms; a „basket fund‟ that uses

common financing and „earmarked‟ financing arrangements. The programme is coordinated

through four components, namely; (i) Water Resources Management, which is implemented in

all nine Basin Water Offices under the Ministry‟s coordination; (ii) Rural Water Supply and

Sanitation implemented in 132 local government authorities under coordination of Ministry of

Water through Regional Secretariats and the Prime Minister‟s Office – Regional

Administration and Local Government; (iii) Urban Water Supply and Sanitation implemented

in 19 regional headquarters, DAWASA/DAWASCO, 109 districts/small towns‟ utilities and 7

national projects under coordination of the Ministry and under regulation by EWURA; and the

Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building to support the management of the

Programme through policy formulation, oversight and capacity building roles.

The WSDP restructuring was completed in June 2011, following the recommendations of

Midterm-Review and Restructuring missions in April 2010. In the process, several requisites

were reviewed including the revised Financing Plan, budget allocation, results framework, and

revised institutional arrangements. The WSDP MoU and IDA-Financing Agreement (FA) were

amended in July 2011. There has been significant increase in the level of financial

commitments since the Programme‟s Phase I became operational in July 2007, with an

estimated investment envelope of USD 951 million to the current commitment of USD 1,299

million in June 2012.

The overall WSDP implementation has been making good progress. Most of the water supply

projects are in the construction stages. Following extension of phase I of the programme from

June 2012 to June 2014, the budget, work plan, procurement plan and disbursement projection

14

have been reviewed. The aim is to complete designated works with available budget agreed

upon during the restructuring process.

1.2 The 2012 Water Sector Status Report

The Water Sector Status Report 2012 presents the status of programme implementation during

2011/2012. Also, it highlights challenges and constraints encountered in that particular period

of time. The report provides information and data on the achievements of WSDP

implementation, resulting from concerted efforts made by the Ministry of Water in

collaboration with the Ministry of Finance, Prime Minister‟s Office – Regional Administration

and Local Government, Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, Ministry of Education and

Vocational Training, Development Partners, Implementing Agencies and other stakeholders.

1.2.1 Scope and Purpose of the Report

Inputs for the WSSR 2012 were derived from WSDP implementation progress reports, other

water sector documents and other analytical documents. This report gives analysis of level of

implementation of water projects country wide including constraints and issues that underpin

the programme performance under the SWAp framework. The report proposes remedial

measures to identified challenges faced during programme implementation.

1.2.2 Structure of the Report

The report is arranged in 12 chapters with introductory part giving a brief explanation of the

Programme since its inception. Chapter 2 presents the status of sector financing and financial

performance of the programme including results from audit trails. Chapter 3 presents the status

of implementation of the procurement plan up to June 2012. In chapter 4, the report discusses

status of water resources in the country as summarized from basins‟ reports and studies.

Chapter 5 presents status of implementation of WSDP planned activities in all programme

components for the period from July 2011 to June 2012. Chapter 6 discusses achievements and

challenges of implementation of safeguards policies and guidelines. Chapter 7 elaborates status

on the use of water and sanitation facilities as analyzed by national surveys. Chapter 8 charts

out the sector monitoring system with elaboration of the need to improve reporting through the

functional MIS. Chapter 9 presents the status of implementation of the 2011 Joint Water Sector

Review‟s undertakings. Chapter 10 presents the roadmap for preparation of WSDP Phase II and

introduces draft undertakings for 2012/2013. Chapter 11 is about the way forward for sector

progress.

2 SECTOR FINANCING

The Government of Tanzania (GoT) in collaboration with Development Partners (DPs)

committed funds to finance the WSDP in the first phase of five years period from 2007/2008 to

2011/2012 at an estimated cost of USD 951 million. The GoT committed to contribute USD

251 million, which is equivalent to 26%; and DPs USD 700 million, which is equivalent to

74%. After the Programme restructuring in 2011, it was found that the implementation of some

investment projects would go beyond June 2012. It was then jointly (GoT and DPs) agreed to

extend the implementation of phase I of WSDP (phase I) for two years period to June 2014.

During the implementation of phase I, more commitments have been received from DPs. By

the end of June 2012, the total amount committed reached USD 1,299 million, an increase of

USD 348 million, equivalent to 36% of the original estimates (as shown in Table 1).

2.1 Financial Performance for July 2011 - June 2012

WSDP budget for financial year 2011/2012 totalled USD 284.489 million. The amount

includes USD 27.896 million from GoT and USD 256.593 million from DPs. By the end of

June 2012, a total of USD 149.553 million had been disbursed. This includes USD 15.295

million from GoT and USD 134.258 million from DPs, which is equivalent to budget

performance of 55% and 52% respectively. (See Table 2 below)

2.2 Status of Disbursements by Components for FY 2011/2012

According to the revised commitments, disbursement ratios across components were required

to base on agreed allocation percentages. However, the actual disbursements indicate deviation

from agreed allocation percentages especially for component 2 and component 3 due to various

reasons; such as delayed commencement of works in component 2, which caused the 3%

decrease on its share of actual disbursement percentages in favour of component 3, which had

projects ready for implementation (as shown in Table 3 and 4). Actual works for ten villages

were scaled down to five villages, of which signing of contracts started in 2011/2012 in some

LGAs.

2.3 Sector Financing Trends

WSDP financing trend shows that GoT actual contribution has continuously been declining

from FY 2007/2008 to FY 2011/2012 from USD 55.8 million to USD 15.2million in FY

2011/2012. However, for the FY 2012/2013 GoT has increased its budget contribution to USD

87 million. The WSDP basket fund partners‟ contribution increased in previous financial years

except in 2011/2012 where a decrease was noted. The basket fund DPs were requested to fulfill

their commitment of disbursing funds based on cash flow projections prepared by MoW in

order to stabilize the financial situation in the sector and enable IAs to implement their

investment plans timely and effectively.

2.4 Funds from Other Sources Including IAs’ Own Revenues

In addition to the funds from basket and earmarked partners, implementation of WSDP used

funds from other sources including own implementing agency revenue; such as, water user fee

and water permit application fee for basins; water and sewerage tariff for UWSAs. For the case

of LGAs, other sources include charity contributions from CBOs and NGOs; local taxes and

other charges levied under local government laws; discretional capital grants from the central

government and community contribution. During the reporting period, a total of TShs. 11.126

billion (approx. USD. 7.417 million) was collected from other sources. Basins collections

amounted to 1.034 billion (approx. USD 0.689 million); UWSAs, TZS 7.080 billion (approx.

USD 4.72 million; and LGAs TShs. 3.012 billion.

18

Basin Water Offices

The collection of water use fee for the nine basins in FY 2011-2012 was Tshs. 1,034,634,856

against the planned amount of Tshs. 1,181,000,000, equivalent to 88%( table 5). Although

Water User Fee (WUF) revenue collection percentage is high, it is comparatively still very low

when compared to the required operational budget. This affects BWOs ability to effectively

manage water resources in their respective basins. As a remedial response, the consultant on

Water Resource Management Financing options has submitted the draft report with

recommendations on how to stabilize the sustainable financing of water resources management

operations in all basins. The proposed actions will be discussed and agreed during JWSR so as

to guide the way forward.

Local Government Authorities (LGAs)

LGAs‟ sources of income includes funds from charity contributions from CBOs and NGOs;

local taxes and other charges levied under local government laws; funds from projects like

TASAF, discretional capital grants from the central government and community contribution.

During the year under review, Tshs. 3.012 billion was used by LGAs to fund water projects in

their respective areas. (See Table 5). However, community contribution has been declining, and

this may affect O&M plans.

Urban Water Supply and Sewerages Authorities

The main source of revenue of utilities is the sales of water supply and sewerage services,

which constitute their core business. In the FY 2011/2012 total revenue collected by UWSAs

amounted to Tshs. 7.08 billion. Of the total amount, collection for Dar es Salaam accounts for

37% of the total UWSAs collections. Categories B and C collection have increased by 32% due

to new connections. However, the low increase of revenue collection in category A and

DAWASCO is due to the fact that UFW is still high and there is an increase in unpaid debts.

2.5 WSDP Expenditure Performance by Components

For the past five years of implementation of WSDP, a total of USD 789 million was disbursed,

out of this, USD 658.4 million, equivalent to 83% were spent. Most of unspent balance is still

in Holding Account (USD 51,383,738.11) and other balances are with LGAs, small towns,

district headquarters and basins due to delays in procurement of consultants. (See Table 7

below).

2.6 Results from Audit Trails

As per the Public Finance Act 2010, National Audit Act, IPSAs, MoU, PIM and Financial

Management addendum; the MoW has been facilitating and coordinating the conduct of

financial audits, technical audits, in-depth financial management reviews and statement of

expenditure reviews in compliance with good governance standards.

(i) External Audit

External Audit for FY 2011/2012 of WSDP was conducted by NAO as per Public Finance Act

and IPSAs; a qualified opinion was issued mainly because of differences in balances of IAs and

20

MIS. This issue has been dealt with through MIS data verification exercise, which was

conducted for all IAs. Therefore, it is expected that the audit opinion will improve.

(ii) Technical Audit 2010/2011 and 2011/2012

The consultant to conduct Technical Audit for FY 2010/2011 and FY 2011/2012 has been

identified through the procurement process. The exercise was delayed due to the fact that MoW

and DPs agreed to expand the scope of work by including the current financial year, contract

now is for two years i.e 2010/2011 and FY 2011/2012.The report is expected to be ready by

31st December 2012 as per ToR.

(iii) In-depth Financial Review

In-depth FM review was done by the WB in FY 2011/2012, which identified areas that need

improvement. The most notable recommendation includes the need to enhance financial

management and MIS capacity of IAs staff such as accountants and engineers. As a response,

MoW has conducted training of LGAs accountants and internal auditors in using MIS to

improve Financial Management.

2.7 Financing and Sustainability

The Government of Tanzania has been implementing several fiscal stability measures geared at

improving local revenue collection with the aim of increasing the local development budget

allocated to sectors including water sector. This is evidenced by the increasing trend of local

development budget during the last three years from Tshs. 30.7 billion in FY 2010/2011 to

Tshs. 41.6 billion in FY 2011/2012 and Tshs. 140 billion in FY 2012/2013, when the increase

was 35% for FY 2011/2012 and 237% for FY 2012/2013 respectively.

Apart from national level revenue enhancement strategies, water sector has also been

implementing various sector revenue enhancement strategies including:-

Cost sharing by communities to finance operation and maintenance, and investment

costs;

Private sector involvement as per National Water Policy and Public Private

Partnership in implementation of water projects as per PPP policy;

Securing low interest loans from internal and external sources including commercial

banks; and

Establishment and operation of the National Water Investment Fund, as per section 44

of the Water Supply and Sanitation Act No 12 of 2009. Finances from this investment

will be used to fund priority investments.

3 STATUS ON IMPLEMENTATION OF PROCUREMENT PLAN

3.1 Overview of WSDP Procurement Management Standards

WSDP Procurement follows the laws and procedures in the public sector and respective

financing agreements which include, the Public Procurement Act 2004, and the World Bank

Procurement Guidelines. The agreed procedures for the procurement of goods, services and

works under the Programme are outlined in Section 9 of the WSDP Memorandum of

Understanding. The objective is to promote effectiveness and quality assurance in the

procurement transactions and achievement of value for money in the water sector

procurements. The methods detailed in the PIM ensure bidding competitiveness using both the

International Competitive Bidding (ICB) and the National Competitive Bidding (NCB)

methods. ICB is applied with a prior review of the World Bank and issue of No Objection on

related documentations, terms and conditions and decisions for bidding process, contracting

and contract management. NCB is applied for items of small value or moderate transactions

which require a post review of the World Bank and should use the Public Procurement Act

(2004), the Public Procurement Regulations (2005) and the relative standard bidding

documents issued by the PPRA. While in Consultancy Services the use of methods of selection

of Quality and Cost Based Selection (QCBS), Quality and Least Cost Based Selection (LCBS),

Quality and Fixed Budget Selection and the Quality Based Selection (FQBS).

3.2 Status of Measures for Risk Mitigation in WSDP Procurement

Procurement planning for WSDP phase I took into accounts estimated costs and related risks

and their mitigation measures. The risks assessed during the program design have been

modified based on improvement achieved, and the current status of implementation as

summarized below:

Among the risky areas identified during programme design and implementation process in

Procurement management includes:

(i) Weak Procurement management Unit at the MOW;

(ii) Weak procurement management at the LGAs;

(iii) Weak procurement at the Utilities and BWOs.

Mitigation measures which have been taken to address issues of procurement management

include; procurement of Specialist for one year to strengthen the capacity of the PMU,

replacement of three staff by transfer from other ministries, training of two staff in records

management and one staff transferred from the MoW Registry to strengthen the capacity of

PMU. Also two containers have been procured and installed to accommodate procurement

documents.

A Training programme in procurement and procurement plan preparation has been developed

and is ready for implementation when funds are available, for RAS engineers head of PMUs‟

and members of Tender Boards in respective LGAs, utilities and BWOs.

Planned Contracts Contracts Awarded Contracts Initiated Completed Contracts


The performance reflects that, more contracts were performed before the financial year

2011/2012 as it was expected that phase one of the programme would have been ended in June

2012. Some projects which cannot be implemented in Phase I shall be implemented in Phase II

and hence removed from the procurement plan.

(ii) Component 2: Rural Water Supply and Sanitation

This component is implemented with a relatively high number of implementing agencies and

actors (Local Government Authorities, Regional Secretariats, under the coordination of Prime

Minister‟s Office; Regional Administration and Local Government – PMO-RALG in

collaboration with the Ministry of Water); therefore it requires relatively high initial costs for

preparation and ensuring proper understanding of relative roles, accounting and reporting

procedures.

The Component is allocated a total of USD 243.718 million financed by the basket fund,

earmarked donors and GOT for procurement of good, works, and consultancy services and

non- consultancy services, with the highest allocation of USD 137.452 million to Works

contracts. The total of 462 contracts was planned for WSDP phase 1. Up to June 2012, 278

contracts were awarded, out of which 118 contracts are completed. 26 contracts are uninitiated

While 158 contracts are under implementation Table 10 summarizes the status of contracts

3.5 Challenges on the Procurement Processes

The major challenge faced in the course of implementation includes:

(i) Slow procurement processes, especially to the new institutions like Basins and Small

Towns;

(ii) Weak contract administration and management; and

(iii) Unreliable flow of funds for monitoring and evaluation and for payments of contracts

certificates.

Recommended measures include:

(i) Sustaining the functional MIS for the Water Sector;

(ii) Strengthen sector M&E;

(iii) Resolve back to the normal disbursement of funds for implementation of WSDP.

(iv) Each works contract be administered by works inspection committee comprised of PMU and

user department staff (3 officers); (v) The accounting officer should appoint the works supervisor who will monitor day to day

progress of the works and shall report to the committee; and

(vi) Strengthen the capacity of PMU staff (Basin) as well as the capacity of PMU at MoW.

This shall be done through training (tailor-made training).

4 STATUS OF WATER RESOURCES IN THE COUNTRY

Freshwater is a basic natural resource, which sustains life and provides for various social and

economic needs. In its natural state, water is an integral part of the environment whose quantity

and quality determine how it can be used. Despite its importance to our lives and development,

water is unevenly distributed in time, space, quantity and with great variations in quality; also,

water is a finite and a vulnerable resource.

Tanzania has faced growing water shortage from reduced and delayed rains and increasing

demand for water. Over the past 25 years, these demands have intensified with the increase in

population and concurrent growth of economic activities requiring water as an input such as

hydropower generation, irrigated agriculture, industries, tourism, mining, livestock keeping,

domestic, fisheries, wildlife and forestry activities. Water scarcity is perceived at many places

due to unreliable rainfall, multiplicity of competing uses, degradation of sources and

catchments.

Factors contributing to stress on local water resources include reduced and delayed rains,

increasing multisectoral demands, degradation due to pollution, over abstraction, poor land use

practices, and encroachment of land for agriculture, urbanization and industrial development. .

The water stress being faced in many places in the country is partly due to high rainfall

variability and frequent droughts. Water insecurity is manifested through: (a) shortages for

domestic supply and irrigation; (b) growing conflicts amongst groups of water users (farmers)

and between different sectoral uses of water (irrigators, power generators, industries,

pastoralists and environment) and communities and individuals, (c) water pollution, (d)

destruction/degradation of water sources –watersheds, wetlands, springs, and recharge areas,

and (e) a national power crisis.

About 73% of Tanzania‟s electricity comes from 6 hydropower plants with an installed

capacity of 561 MW. Water levels in all major hydropower dams are low and declining. Both

Nyumba ya Mungu and Mtera dams are abstracting from dead storage to generate power, and

thus increasing the risk of turbine cavitations and long term damage. Water and land use

conflicts in the Pangani, Rufiji, Internal Drainage and Lake Rukwa basins have created volatile

conditions. Over abstraction, pollution and contested borders on transboundary waters are

creating regional tensions and instability.

4.1 Water Availability

Water availability depends on annual rain amount and pattern. Water situation in any area in

the country, depends on availability of rain for a particular zone. Tanzania has been divided

into seven rain zones as follows: Lake Victoria zone which covers Kagera, Mwanza, Shinyanga

and Mara regions together with northern parts of Kigoma; North eastern highlands zone covers

28

Kilimanjaro, Arusha and Manyara regions; northern coast zone covering Coast region, Dar es

Salaam, Tanga regions and northern parts of Morogoro region; Western zone which include

Tabora, Rukwa Kigoma, regions and southern parts of Shinyanga region; Central zone consist

of Dodoma and Singida regions; Southern highlands comprise of Mbeya, Iringa regions and

parts of southern Morogoro and southern coast zone which encompass Ruvuma, Mtwara and

Lindi regions.

Tanzania‟s annual renewable water resources are 89 cubic kilometres or 2,700 cubic meters of

water per person per year (World Resources 2000- 2001) and about 40 Km3 groundwater

reserve; but the resource is unevenly distributed and there are no enough water storage

infrastructures to reserve the water when it is plenty for future use. Based on projected

population from estimated 33 million in the year 2001 to about 59.8 million by the year 2025,

annual average available water per capita which is 2,700 cubic meters, will be reduced by 45%

to about 1,500 cubic meters per person per year which shows that the country will face a water

stress situation, considering that below 1,700 cubic meters per person per year signifies water

scarcity.

More than half of the country receives on the average less than 800mm of rain per year. The

monsoon type of climate prevailing in the country causes extreme temporal variability in

rainfall and even more extreme variability in river flows. The annual mean rainfall shows that

the eastern coastal areas receive well over 1000mm per year while most parts of the drier

interior receive less than 600mm. Water resources in the country include rivers, lakes,

wetlands, springs, natural reservoirs, groundwater aquifers and transboundary rivers that are

shared with neighbouring countries. The drainage areas of these international water bodies

cover over 43.5% of the country‟s land area.

4.2 Water Status in Basins

Water availability is heavily influenced by the amount of rainfall in a particular year. Up to

June, 2012 water availability situation in Basins and Catchments was reported as follows:

Normal in Ruvuma and Southern Coast, Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika and Lake Nyasa

Basins, above normal in Wami-Ruvu and Pangani Basins and below normal in Great Ruaha

Catchment in Rufiji Basin. The catchments of Luwegu and Kilombero in Rufiji Basin reported

normal water availability.

Water Situation in Reservoirs for Power Production

Nyumba ya Mungu dam in Pangani Basin: The dam has 140 sq. km, 1.1 billion m3 storage

capacity, regulating body for 3 Hydro Power plants at Nyumba ya Mungu dam (8MW), Hale

(21MW) and New Pangani Falls (68MW). Variation of water levels up to 23rd

week of 2012

(see fig 2).The status of major dams water level is given below.

Figure 2: Water Level at Nyumba ya Mungu Dam

Mtera, Kidatu and Kihansi in Rufiji Basin:

There are three major dams for hydropower generation in Rufiji Basin Water Office, which has

potential to produce 464 MW which is equivalent to more than 80% of hydropower production

in the country. The following are characteristics of these three dams. Some general

characteristics of the dams are summarized in Table 13.

Water situation at Mtera dam is not good because water level has been receding. The level

recorded on 30th

July 2012, was 690.37 meters above mean sea level (m.a.m.s.l). This level is

minimal compared to the long-term July‟s average (from 2006 to 2012), which is 695.194

m.a.m.s.l. That means, only 0.37 m.a.m.s.l is left for water to reach the dead storage, which is

690.00 m.a.m.s.l. Figure 3 show the trend of water levels from 2006/2012.

Figure 3: Water Situation at Mtera Dam

Amount of water at Kidatu dam has also been decreasing following the decrease of water level

in Mtera dam and the amount of water flowing at Lukosi, Mwega and Yovi rivers. Water level

recorded on 30th

July 2012 at Kidatu dam was 445.40 m.a.m.s.l., which is less compared to the

long-term average for July, which is 448.403 m.a.m.s.l. Figure 4 shows water trend in Kidatu

Figure 5: Water Situation at Kihansi Dam

Growing Water Resources Development and Management Concerns

(i) Inadequate water storage infrastructure, which impedes the nation‟s ability to deal with

climate variability and it is impacting food, energy, water and environmental security

and causing huge economic loss. Climate change is going to further stress the nation‟s

water resources. IWRMD plans will provide opportunities for integrating climate

change adaptation.

(ii) Water use conflicts as well as illegal water abstractions are increasing.

(iii) Destruction of water source areas – watersheds, wetlands, springs and recharge areas -

due to encroachments are increasing tensions and impacting water supply and quality.

(iv) Pollution from municipal sewage and mining and industrial activities are increasing.

(v) Low irrigation efficiencies are contributing to sub optimal water use and conflicts.

(vi) Limited hydrological and water use information and data. Available data is not in an

accessible form.

32

4.3 Lesson Learnt

(i) The issue of data collection, rehabilitation and construction of water resources

monitoring stations as well as management information system is a critical need for all

BWBs.

(ii) There is weak enforcement of the WRMA 2009 resulting from slow progress putting in

place water resources management institutions such as WUAs and catchment

committees, and construction/rehabilitation, of monitoring stations and installation of

equipment which are crucial for a sound water resources management.

4.4 Way Forward

(i) Data collection will be given high priority for efficient water resources management.

Rehabilitation of most Water Resources monitoring stations will be done during the

financial year 2012/2013;

(ii) Preparation and implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM)

plans will address issues of sustainable allocation and conservation of water resources.

(iii) As a measure to mitigate possible climate change impacts and to improve water storage,

7 dams will be rehabilitated in the Internal Drainage Basin (6) and Ruvuma and

Southern Coast Rivers Basin (1) during the FY 2012/2013. Construction of Ndembera

Dam in Rufiji Basin and Farkwa dam in the Internal Drainage Basin planned during the

second phase of WSDP. To enable easy access of water resources data and information,

water resources data and information management system will be established in all

Basin Water Boards.

(iv) Inventory of all water users and water sources in all nine water basins will be conducted

as a basis for improving revenue collection for the basins operations. Staff recruitment

and training will be carried out for the basins to reduce the skills gap as well as devising

mechanism for incentives and motivation.

(v) Inventory of reservoirs in the country will be conducted to reveal their status and

necessary requirements for malfunctioning dams will be established. Potential sites for

dam sites will also be determined.

(vi) All Water Basin Offices will collaborate with other stakeholders at all levels and using

the EMA and WRMA 2009 to arrest catchment degradation and water sources

pollution.

5 STATUS ON IMPLEMENTATION OF WSDP PLANNED

ACTIVITIES AGAINST TARGETS

5.1 COMPONENT 1: WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

The objectives of the Water Resources Management and Development component (WRMD) of

WSDP are:

To develop a sound water resources management and development framework in all

nine water basins, for optimizing the utilization of the water resources in a sustainable

manner for the various competing uses;

To promote good governance of water resources through empowering water users,

encouraging participatory and transparent decision-making in the allocation, utilization,

protection and conservation of water resources, devolving ownership to the user level,

and granting secure water rights with responsibilities to the water users, community

groups, local government and basin boards;

To promote economic instruments to encourage wise use of water; and to strengthen the

capacity of basins‟ offices to address trans-boundary and lake basin issues.

WRMD Program sub-components

The WRMD component comprises of three main sub-components, namely:

(a) Sub-component 1 - Basin Level Water Resources Management: is designed to

strengthen institutional capacity for improving the management of water resources in all the

basins including the systems for water resources planning, management and development as

well as intervening in stress-reduction, the establishments of water user associations, water

resources monitoring, assessment, and enforcement, water quality management and pollution

control, protection of important water sources, and water demand management.

(b) Sub-component 2 – Integrated River and Lake basin Management and Development

plans: preparation of five integrated river basin management and development plans for the

Rufiji, Pangani, Wami/Ruvu, Ruvuma, and Internal Drainage basins, and four integrated lake

basin management and development plans for the Lakes Victoria, Tanganyika, Nyasa, and

Rukwa basins. These multi-sectoral plans will provide a roadmap for future investments in

water resources management and development from the medium to long term to be financed

under future water supply, hydropower, irrigation, flood control or multipurpose investment

programmes.

The plans will integrate, build on and extend past sectoral plans (such as the Regional Water

Masterplans, National Irrigation Development Plan and National Energy Masterplan), current

developments under ongoing Programmes (such as Nile Basin Initiative-NBI, Lake Victoria

34

Environmental Management Project-LVEMP2, Lake Tanganyika Basin Commision-LTBC2,

and current priorities and targets defined under MKUKUTA, Agriculture Sector Development

Programme (ASDP), Vision 2025 and other emerging GoT Programmes.

(c) Sub-component 3 - Priority water resources infrastructure investment: - financing of

selected priority water resources (single and multi-purpose) management and development

investments identified by Government.

The status on implementation and progress towards achieving the Program Development

Objective planned activities is detailed below:

Major achievements made in implementation of planned activities are as follows:

(i) Commencement of preparation of IWRMD Plans for Pangani, Ruvuma, Lake

Tanganyika, Lake Rukwa and Lake Nyasa basins.

(ii) Operationalization of the Water Pollution Control Strategy in all nine water basins

(iii) The inauguration of National Water Board (NWB) by the Minister for Water Hon.

Jumanne Maghembe (MP) on 26 July 2012. The board held its second meeting on 27th

July 2012.

(iv) Recruitment of Project Manager and National Project Coordinator for the Songwe River

Basin Development Program , commencement of operations of the Project office and

inauguration of the Project on 16th

July 2012.

5.1.1 Strengthening Basin Level Water Resources Management

(a) Water Resources Governance and Institutional Framework

(i) WRM Act and Regulations

Implementation of the Water Resources Management Act 11, 2009, which became effective in

August 2009, is progressing well. Its implementation is dependent on the formulation and the

gazettement of some of the requisite regulations in a number of its provisions. There are 41

sections of the WRM Act that need regulations to be developed. The WRM Act 2009 is now

operational and the process of preparing regulations is ongoing. Three Regulations which cover

14 out of 41 sections of the WRMA have been prepared and in use, draft regulations for 19

sections are under preparation while regulations for 8 sections are waiting for completion of

studies. Sections which are waiting for studies prior to preparation of regulations include;

Water resources classifications and reserve, Water abstraction charges, minimum distances for

sinking or dipping of wells or boreholes, water bodies classifications and financing and

utilization of funds in basin water boards and issuance of water use permits.

Three regulations, which have been prepared and gazetted include:-

35

Water Resources Management (Registration of Water Users Association) Regulations,

2009 (GN No 22 of 22 January 2010) – Made under sections 81(1).

Water Resources management (Water Abstraction, Use and Discharge) Regulations,

2000 (GN No 109 published on 21May 2010) – Made under sections 11(3), 12(2),

72(3) – 75(1)-(2), and 111(1).

Water Resources management (Procedure for Nomination of Board Members)

Regulations, 2000 (GN No 187 published on 21 May 2010) – Made under sections

20(3), 22(4) and 29(3).

MOW in collaboration with stakeholders is in a process to translate the Water Resources

Management Act (2009) into simple easily understandable Kiswahili version for dissemination

to the general public. Rufiji Basin with the assistance of WWF has already translated and

circulated some sections of the WRM Act (2009) in Kiswahili.

(ii) Establishment of Basin Water Boards

Basin Water Boards for 8 out of 9 Basins are in place except for Lake Tanganyika BWB whose

tenure expired in May 2012. The National Water Board is also in place and operational. The

board comprises of 11 members from irrigation, energy, environment and private sectors, while

the Director for Water Resources is the Secretary. Three members are nominated by the Basin

Water Boards through their forum. The National Water Board was inaugurated on 26th

July

2012 and is operational.

(iii) Formation of Water Users Associations and Catchment Committees

The process to form Water User Association (WUAs) is ongoing in all the 9 Water Basins.

WUAs are basic inputs in forming catchment committees. The WUAs have also been observed

to be very effective in water resources management, especially in conflicts management, and

water allocation. Up to June 2012, a total of 53 WUAs have been formed; 38 catchments and

86 sub catchments have been identified; and 8 catchment water committees formed in all 9

basins.

(iv) Granting Water Use and Discharge Permits

Basin Water Offices have continued to grant water use permits according to new WRMA and

re-register old water rights. During the FY 2011/2012, 605 new water use permits were granted

{Ruvuma (294), Lake Nyasa (44), Wami/Ruvu (89) and Lake Victoria basin (20), Rufiji (27)

and Pangani (131)}. 56 Water users were re-registered according to WRMA of 2009 in Lake

Nyasa (21) and Wami/Ruvu (35); 51 water use permits were gazetted on the Government

Gazette on 23rd March 2012 in Ruvuma Basin.

36

A total of 203 applications were processed in Wami/Ruvu (130), Internal Drainage Basin (66)

and Ruvuma (7) Basins, the process for gazettment is ongoing. By June 2012, a total of 5,907

permits have been granted in Pangani (1146), Rufiji(1044), Wami/Ruvu (1135), Lake Victoria

(400), Internal drainage (805), Lake Rukwa (136), Lake Tanganyika (209), Nyasa (308) and

Ruvuma (724).Thirty six applications in IDB are waiting for Board approval. Six discharge

permits were granted in Ruvuma (1), Wami/Ruvu (2), Lake victoria (2), and Lake Rukwa (1)

Basins. Application for two (2) discharge permits received in Wami/Ruvu Basin. All BWBs

continue with review and updating of Water Permits Register in accordance to Section 69(1) of

the WRMA. Recording of unregistered rights continues according to section 51(1) to 51(5), and

52(1) to 52(2). Fig 6. Shows Water Use Permits Issued by BWBs since FY2007/ 2008-

2011/2012.

Figure 6: Water Use Permits Issued

(b) Protection and Conservation of Water Sources

(i) Demarcation of Water Sources in all 9 Basins

Process of protecting and conserving water sources for Umba River, Selian River and Kyanga

spring carried out in Pangani Basin Water Office. Demarcation of Ruvu River is on progress,

which started from Ruvu at the Morogoro Road Bridge to downstream. Spot water quality

monitoring was done in Wami/Ruvu Basin. Orders to gazette Makutupora well field in

Wami/Ruvu Basin and Kawa Dam in Lake Rukwa Basin as protected areas were prepared and

submitted to the Attorney General for review.

37

(ii) Environment and Water Sources Conservation

In order to avoid pollution of water sources, Basin Water Offices in collaboration with other

actors, continued to implement their monitoring programmes through close follow up of

activities, which are potential sources of pollution.

The following have been done:-

Inspection was conducted to the Autrad Mining Company at Chunya District in Lake

Rukwa Basin, to examine the potential risks to the environment, and the owners were

directed to develop the area without polluting water sources.

Pollution control inspection was conducted for 14 industries, 2 hotels and 1 institution

in Rufiji Basin, of which directives were given, aimed at improving the sewerage

facilities. Water sources pollution control inspection conducted around Mtera dam and

Mwega River at Malolo - Kilosa district for checking pollution caused by TAZAMA oil

pipeline, which spread at the river due to pipe bursting.

Twenty five (25) water samples were collected and analyzed (water quality status found

to be within acceptable Tanzania/WHO standard). Monitoring visit was conducted at

Mlandizi River (Wami/Ruvu Basin), which was polluted by leaking fuel from

TAZAMA pipeline and samples were collected on 16th

December 2011 for analysis to

investigate the extent of pollution.

Water sampling from North Mara treatment plant was done in Lake Victoria Basin to

ascertain the efficient of newly installed treatment plant.

(c) Conflicts Resolution

Water use conflicts have been experienced in almost all basins among users. A total of 28 water

use conflicts were reported in 2011/2012, of which 26 were resolved in Pangani (11),

Wami/Ruvu (10), Rufiji (3) and Internal Drainage Basin (2). Two (2) conflicts have been

attended in Ruvuma Basin and resolution process is on progress. To minimize water use

conflicts, Basin Water Boards provide education and conduct awareness programmes in order

to sensitize the public on the importance of forming water user associations and when

necessary use legal authorities. Fig. 7 shows number of water use conflicts resolved since FY

2008/2009 to FY 2011/2012.

38

Figure 7: Water Use Conflicts Reported and Resolved from FY 2008/2009 to 2011/2012

(d) Providing Operational Support to the BWOs

(i) Rehabilitation/Construction of Offices

The plan was to construct/rehabilitate 36 offices including Water Basin Offices, Water

laboratories, and Catchment and Water Users Association offices in all water basins. The aim

was to have at least 9 Basin offices for each Basin completed at the average cost of USD

85,000 for each office. Progress on this activity includes construction of head quarter office for

Lake Nyasa, which started in August 2010 and as of 30th

June 2012; the work had reached 80%

of completion, expected to be completed in March 2013. Rehabilitation of office building to

accommodate JICA study team carrying out IWRM study for Wami/Ruvu Basin was

completed.

(ii) Provision of goods:

Purchase and installation of laboratory equipment have been carried out. Six lots out of 12 of

the laboratory equipment have been delivered. Equipment in the other two lots has partially

been delivered. 50% of the goods delivered have been distributed and installed in different

water quality laboratories in the country.

(e) Water Resources Monitoring

(i) Construction and Rehabilitation of Monitoring stations

Water resources monitoring and exploration equipment have been secured and are ready for

installation and use in data collection. Installation and operationalisation of the equipment will

enable the basins to carry out their mandated tasks of data collection.

39

To ensure that accurate water quality and quantity data are collected, inventory of hydrometric

monitoring stations was conducted and recommended that, 362 hydrometric stations are

required all over the country, out of which 90 are operational while 272 will be either

constructed or rehabilitated in FY 2012/2013. Three groundwater monitoring stations have

been constructed in Wami/Ruvu Basin. During the F/Y 2011/2012, minor rehabilitation was

carried out for 10 hydrometric stations and installation of meteorological facilities in 7 stations

was done in Lake Tanganyika Basin. Also, 13 rainfall stations were inspected in Lake Victoria

Basin and in Lake Rukwa Basin inspection of hydrometric stations was conducted.

Inspection of Abstractions for Compliance

Basins continued to carry out inspection of water abstractions to make sure that all users

comply to water permit conditions. Where conditions found to be violated, re-adjustment was

carried out and some were closed or demolished. Inspection was conducted for 194 abstraction

points in Great Ruaha catchment. It was observed that 45 were unauthorized canals, hence,

identified for water permit and 148 are legal abstractions. 14 canals were closed while 31

authorized canals were regulated. Abstraction points were also inspected in 11 furrows in

Pangani Basin and Kapunga irrigation scheme in Rufiji Basin.

(f) Hydro-geological Investigations and Compliance to Drilling Regulations

Hydro-geological investigations and supervision of drilling activities had been carried out in all

basins. In the F/Y 2011/2012, 563 sites were surveyed in Pangani (56), Wami/Ruvu (68), Rufiji

Basin (42) Ruvuma Basin (80), IDB (245), Lake Rukwa (22), Lake Nyasa (8), Lake

Tanganyika (14), and Lake Victoria (63) Basins. Regulations for controlling drilling activities

are under preparation. Basin Water offices have been provided with 126 equipments for

groundwater investigations. Identification and updating of information on drilling companies

continued. So far there are a total of 126 registered drilling companies operating in the country

whose activities need to be appropriately regulated. Basin Water Offices have been mandated

to monitor for compliance of water drilling permits conditions at their areas of jurisdiction. Fig.

8 shows the Status of hydrological investigations for five financial years.

40

Figure 8: Status of Hydrological Investigations for Five Years

(g) Capacity Building and Retooling

(i) Training

In order to bridge gaps of knowledge and update the technical knowhow of staff, training on

priority areas identified were conducted for a total of 61 staff from Pangani (4), Lake Nyasa

(1), Ruvuma (1), Lake Rukwa (8), Rufiji (44), and Wami/Ruvu (3). The areas covered were;

conflict resolution skills, procurement and contract management, water governance, monitoring

and evaluation, financial management and integrated water resources management (IWRM).

Also, 28 staff were trained on the use of the groundwater equipment received.

(ii) Collection of Water Users Fees

In this financial year, most of the planned activities have not been implemented due to

inadequate operational funds. A sum of Tshs. 3,915,383,824 about 16% of the projected funds

was released for the implementation period starting July 2011 to April 2012. As a result critical

activities such as installation of hydrometric equipment could not be accomplished. Water Use,

Application and other miscellaneous Fees continued to be collected in all Basins Water Offices.

Total collection of TShs. 1,594,030,475 which is 134% of the projected amount of Tshs.

1,181,000,000 has been collected.

(iii) Financial Sustainability of the Basin Water Offices

Basin Water Offices still depend to a large extent on the funds disbursed from the Ministry of

Water for implementation of all development activities and meeting some of the recurrent costs

for supporting staff, conducting minor repairs of the basin data collection stations and buildings

and for office management. In an effort to attain administrative and financial autonomy, Basin

water offices have started to widen revenue base and securing revenue from various water

users. Likewise awareness creation is being done to instil a sense of obligations to users and

41

stakeholders in paying for services received from water resources management done by the

Basin Water Offices.

Dependency of the offices is attributed to poor fee structures that do not reflect actual value for

water being abstracted by various users. For instance, according to the prevailing water use fee

tariffs, large commercial abstractor are charged Tshs. 120 only for 100m3 and small

commercial abstractors are charged Tshs. 90 only for 100m3. Beside this shortcoming, the

revenue base for charging water use is still very narrow and requires further studies.

A study for Water Resources Management - Financing Options is being undertaken and

expected to be accomplished in the FY 2012/2013. Among key outputs of this study is an

efficient and reliable fee structure and proposals for new sources of revenue. In order to

enhance basin sustainability, the Ministry has issued guidance to BWBs to set interim charges

by September 2012 and submit to the Ministry for review and Minister‟s approval by

November 2012.

Despite the low fees and inadequacy of the fees structures, still Water User Fee (WUF) is the

most prominent and reliable sources of revenue for the BWBs, others are Water User Permit

Application Fees and TANESCO Royalty.

5.1.2 Integrated River and Lake Basin Management and Development Plans

To enable efficient planning and allocation of Water Resources Integrated Water Resources

Management and Development (IWRMD) Plans preparations for Rufiji, Wami-Ruvu and

Internal Drainage Basins are at advanced stages and expected to be completed in December

2012. Consultants for preparation of the plans for Pangani, Ruvuma, Lake Nyasa, Lake Rukwa

and Lake Tanganyika have started working between January and April 2012. Procurement of

the consultant to prepare IWRM Plan for Lake Victoria is still is on progress under Lake

Victoria Basin Commission. Preparation of the IWRM Plans will consider the impact of

climate change for water resources assessment and establishing Decision Support Systems, it is

also considered that during the course of preparing IWRMD Plans, MoW and BWOs staff

training will be given a high priority so as to build their capacity as well as sustainability.

5.1.3 Priority Water Resources Infrastructure Investments

The target is to strengthen water resource management by BWOs, through the provision of

Capital Development Grants to finance WRM Subprojects. Progress made includes:-

(a) Drilling of 30 Wells

Fifteen production boreholes drilled in Sanya plains (Hai District) and pumping test done for 13

boreholes. Seven boreholes were drilled in Rombo District but only one was successful .

42

Pangani Basin water office continues to investigate on the suitable power source before

deciding on the specifications of pumps for the wells.

(b) Construction and Rehabilitation of Dams

(i) Ndembera Dam:

A contract for Consultancy service for Preparation of Feasibility Study and Detailed Design of

Lugoda Dam and Maluluma Hydropower on Ndembera River has been signed on 28th

June

2012. Negotiation for Consultancy services for preparation of ESIA studies for Lugoda dam

and Maluluma hydropower has been done

(ii) Environmental Audit for Mchema Dam:

The consultant for the environmental audit for rehabilitation of Mchema dam has been

identified and the contract is ready for signature.

(iii) Environmental Audit for six (6) Dams:

Draft contract for the consultancy services for carrying out environmental audit for the six (6)

dams has been prepared. The six dams are: Itobo, Uchama, Nkiniziwa in Nzega District and

Leken (Elenywe), Enguikument I & II in Monduli District. Rehabilitation of Dams in IDB: 12

dams will be rehabilitated in phase II of the Program. 6 dams (Leken, Enguikument I & II,

Itobo, Uchama and Nkiniziwa). Shortlisting of Consultants for supervision of rehabilitation of

Dams, preparation of RFP and bid documents for Environmental Audit for the 6 dams has been

completed.

(iv) Mandera dam in Wami Ruvu:

Four potential sites have been identified for construction of the dam upstream of Wami River at

Mandera Bridge.

(v) Borehole sites assessment in Lake Victoria Basin:

Ten boreholes sites have been identified for drilling of boreholes to augment water supply at

Ngonwa, Kisesa, Maliza - Buhongwa and Sapiwi.

5.1.3 Management of Trans-Boundary Waters

(a) Trans-boundary Water Management Treaties and Ratified Agreements

Several Transboundary Water Resources Management Initiatives are ongoing, with some

accomplishments made. The important achievements as detailed below include those made on

Lake Victoria Basin Commission, Lake Tanganyika, Lake Chala/Jipe and Umba River,

Zambezi River, and Songwe River and Nile Basin Initiative.

43

(i) Lake Victoria Basin Commission: Lake Victoria New Water Release and Abstraction

Policy

A contract to develop a Release Policy was signed between LVBC Secretariat and the

Consultant. The Consultant has submitted the final report which was discussed by Task Force.

The report was adopted by the task force, but it was noted that the New Water Release and

Abstraction Policy required more upstream abstraction data and additional studies which

include ESIA and SEA for the Policy to be implemented.

(ii) Lake Victoria Watershed Management

The objective of this component seeks to reduce environmental stresses from the lake basin

through the implementation of sustainable soil and water management practices and livelihoods

improvement interventions, using community-driven development approaches. A total of 37

projects with a total cost of USD 706,330 are now under implementation in villages within

Bariadi, Magu, Meatu, Maswa and Kwimba Districts. Within Simiyu catchment on Tanzania

side

(iii) Lake Tanganyika Authority (LTA)

The main concern at the moment is about declining Levels of Lake Tanganyika and Lukuga

River outlet in DRC. The Consultant has been engaged by COMESA, hydrological design and

ESIA studies of Lake Tanganyika and Lukuga River outlet is ongoing. Tanzania through Lake

Tanganyika Authority is making a close follow up on the progress of this project because of

the negative impact experienced on various water related activities, especially navigation for

regional shipping, transport and commerce.

(iv) Joint Cross Border Meeting on IWRM for Lake Chala, Jipe and Umba River

Ecosystem

Final draft Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enable the two countries of Tanzania and

Kenya to work together in the eleven areas of cooperation is in place and expected to be signed

before December, 2012. LVBC has contracted a consultant to develop the Lake Chala - Jipe

and Umba river ecosystem programme.

(b) SADC Water Programmes

(i) SADC Ministers Responsible for Water Meeting in Maseru, Lesotho

Tanzania participated in the Ministers responsible for Water from the Southern African

Development Community (SADC) met on 22nd

September 2011 in Maseru, on 23rd

Songwe River Basin Development Programme (SRBDP)

The Songwe River, which forms part of the international boundary, between Tanzania and

Malawi has been changing its course as a result of floods rendering the boundary unstable. The

two countries formulated the Songwe River Basin Development Programme to improve the

social and economic development in the basin and stabilize the course of the river.

The program involves 3 Phases: (i) Feasibility study; (ii) Detailed Design and (iii)

Implementation.

Phase I of Feasibility study was completed in 2003 which paved a way to Phase II of the

SRBDP of Detailed Design and Investment Preparation Project from 2004. Several meetings of

the Joint Committee of Officials (JCO), the Joint Team of Experts (JTE) and Joint Steering

Committee (JSC) were held between September, 2009 and March 2011 to prepare a

Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two Countries for the Detailed Design of

Works and Investment Preparations. Tanzania signed the MoU on 8th March, 2011 while

Malawi signed on 5th April, 2011 and the MoU was sent to African Development Bank.

After signing the MoU, Terms of References (TOR) for all Project components were developed

jointly between Malawi and Tanzania and were accepted by the African Development Bank

which is a major financier of the Programme.

5.1.4 Water Quality Compliance and Strengthening Water Laboratories

(i) Water Quality Compliance

During the reporting period some achievement have been made through monitoring water

quality for domestic uses, water sources and pollution control whereby 6727 water samples out

of 8,000 that targeted were collected and analysed for compliance (as indicated in Figure 9).

Figure 9: Water Quality Compliance

A total of 4,668 water samples analysed were found to be within the recommended limit. 371

water samples indicated not to comply with the required standards due to feacal contamination

thus continuous monitoring was carried out to determine the cause of contamination and

responsible authorities were advice to disinfect water before being supplied. 1,014 water

samples collected in the coastal areas were found to be saline and the advice was to find

alternative water sources of good quality water. 674 water samples collected from lakes and

rivers had high content of nitrates and phosphorous, this indicates the possibility of

eutrophication of our water bodies.(figure 10)

50

Figure 10: Water of Unacceptable Quality

To ensure that effluents discharge to the water bodies are within the allowable limit for

pollution control; wastewater samples were collected on monthly basis from different

wastewater treatment facilities in Dar es salaam, Mwanza, Tanga, Morogoro, Dodoma, Bukoba

and Iringa. A total of 678 wastewater samples out of 1,000 were collected and analysed during

the entire period whereby 525 samples were found to be within recommended limit to be

discharged to the environment while 153 samples were found not to comply with the standard,

advices were given on this matter to the authorities concern.

In order to ensure that the efficacy of the water treatment chemicals is within the required

standards; 57 chemical samples were analysed 22 Aluminum Sulphate, 15 Polyaluminum

Chloride and 20 Calcium Hypochlorite). 52 samples of chemicals were of acceptable quality

for treating water to fit the intended use while 5 chemical samples of Polyaluminum Chloride

indicated to have low strength thus not fit for intended purposes. Advices were given on this

matter to the authorities concern.( figure 11)

51

Figure 11: Efficacy of Water Treatment Chemicals

(ii) Strengthening Water Laboratories

Under WSDP, it is planned to strengthen the Water quality Laboratories through provion of

equipment, training and office building and rehabilitation. About 50% of the procured

equipments have been distributed to 16 Regional Laboratories and installed.

22 laboratories staff have been trained on ISO 17025 (Quality Assurance), this is being one of

requirement for the improving the performance of the water quality laboratories as well as

accreditation processes.

5.1.6 Water Resources Management Challenges

The following are the growing WRM concerns and challenges:

(i) Acute water use conflicts experienced in many parts of the country especially in

Pangani, Internal drainage, Rufiji and Lake Rukwa Basins.

(ii) Illegal water abstractions

(iii) Growing tensions – encroachment and degradation of water sources as a result of

growing human development activities in water catchments.

(iv) Increasing pollution from mining and industrial activities.

(v) Degradation in key catchments and groundwater recharge areas.

(vi) Inadequate funding of the Basin Water Boards and low water Use fees which do not

suffice the operation of basin activities.

5.2 COMPONENT 2: RURAL WATER SUPPLY AND SANITATION

During the financial year 2011/2012, Component 2 made a significant development towards

increasing access to clean and safe water and basic sanitation services. This has been done

through Local Government Authorities Management Support, National Sanitation Campaigns

and Investment in RWSS Sub-components.

53

5.2.1 Local Government Authorities Management Support Subcomponent

This subcomponent provides support to LGAs' management issues aimed at strengthening their

capacity to carry out the planned interventions. The summary of status of implementation is

provided after each sub-strategic intervention under here.

(i) Monitoring implementation of WSDP

It was planned to have a field visits to selected LGAs for follow up of boreholes' drilling

activities, water point mapped areas, financing, contracts data entry into water sector MIS and

operation and maintenance of constructed sub projects both earmarked and quickwin projects.

(ii) Preparation of WSDP Reports

Three types of progress reports namely, quarterly, semi-annually and annually were to be

prepared. The first quarter, second quarter, semi-annual, third quarter and annual progress

reports from LGAs, RSs and MoW were prepared and consolidated into a WSDP report.

(iii) Supervision and Monitoring by CWSTs

It was planned that CWSTs to supervise and monitor consultants in the implementation of

RWSS projects phase I contracts. CWSTs have been supervising and monitoring consultants

and borehole drillers who were part of RWSS subprojects implementation team. One of the key

tasks in CWSTs was the review of consultants' documentations. The approval of payments to

consultants was another key activity. Furthermore, during the implementation period, physical

project inspections were conducted through field visits.

(iv) RSs and PMO-RALG Oversight to LGAs

It was planned that RSs had to provide technical oversight to LGAs by reviewing designs and

tender documents, contracts for drilling and supervision options and construction of sub

projects in some of the ten selected villages in each LGA. Generally, the task was clearly

conducted as per plan; though shortage of finances remained as a potential challenge for their

maximum performance. PMO-RALG consolidated reports from RSs, which normally are

shared with the Ministry of Water.

(v) Promote Private Sector Participation

Due to inadequate participation of the private sector in the water sector, a consultant was

engaged to study the prevailing bottlenecks and recommend the necessary measures required.

A contract was signed between MoW the firm, which won the tender on 10th

April 2012. After

preparation of inception report, the firm has started to gather information from LGAs and

elsewhere for preparation of the final report.

(vi) Preparation and execution of ICT at LGAs and RSs levels

54

Planed activities were identification and procurement of items to be installed in the ICT rooms

in LGAs and RSs. Items were identified, of which its procurement is in progress, expecting to

complete in September 2012 to allow installation to take place later.

(vii) Implementation of CD plans at LGAs and RSs levels

The activity was planned for implementation in the same financial year but since no funds were

released; the task was not executed.

(viii) Provide training and deploy program management support consultant

It was planned to engage a consultant to assist the Rural Water Supply Division on matters of

program management. The contract was signed on 25th

June 2012 and the consultant is

executing the contract activities. ToR is being reviewed to include most of the implementing

challenges facing component 2.

(ix) Rehabilitation and construction of offices

Under this activity, no office was rehabilitated or constructed in the year 2011/2012. This

activity will continue to be implemented in phase II of WSDP.

(x) Provision of goods, such as vehicles, motor cycles, computers and office equipment:

In this FY 2011/2012, it was planned to purchase one vehicle and 6 computers. Specifications

for vehicles and laptops are in place, but no funds were released to facilitate procurement

process.

(xi) Strengthen the capacity of communities to operate and maintain water and sanitation

services

Priority was given to formation and registration of water user entities. 110 LGAs have

appointed registrars of COWSOs according to The Water Supply and Sanitation (Registration

of Community Owned Water Supply Organisations) Regulations, 2009, GN. No. 21 of

22/01/2010.

(xii) Promote sanitation and hygiene in collaboration with line Ministries

It was planned that to participate in national events of promoting sanitation and hygiene such as

Maji Week, International toilet day etc. The Maji week event was conducted though the

International toilet day event did not effect due to lack of funds.

(xiii) Conduct water point mapping

In order to have non-conflicting data on the number of water points available and the rural

population served, it was planned to carry out a water point mapping. The consultant conducted

55

a survey, whereby 63 LGAs with 2,042 wards and 4,985 villages were adjusted. The survey

mapped 35,641 public water points, out of which 23,545 (66.1 %) points were found functional

while 12,096 (33.9%) were non - functional.

From September 2011 to April 2012, data collection was done in 19 LGAs and prototype web

based monitoring system developed. Equipment including server and GPS for LGAs are under

procurement process. As of April 2012, 82 LGAs had been mapped. The contract was

scheduled to end in December 2011 but due to lack of timely fund release, the task was delayed

while extension of the contract is in advanced stage.

The 33.9% of the non functional mapped water points is due to the following reasons:

Uneasy access of spare parts;

Inadequate design of water supply schemes;

Water supply infrastructures including boreholes getting beyond their service life;

Shortage of funds to conduct monitoring;

Missing, theft and damage to electrical and mechanical components

Breakage in transmission/ distribution network

Community disputes

Low pressure in the distribution system

56

Damaged one of water supply infrastructures due to the fact that the water point or

water source is not protected and more;

Damage due to floods

Financial sustainability: most schemes are financially unsustainable due to poor

collection of water revenues at the potable point;

Absence of pumping machinery at source; and

A lack of beneficiaries‟ sense of ownership on water supply services.

(xiv) RUWASACAD Phase II

The water sector has been implementing a Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Capacity

Development (RUWASACAD) phase 2, with the purpose to enhance implementation of the

Capacity Development of RWSTs, CWSTs and BWOs. The project area includes three regions

(Tabora, Singida and Mwanza) and six LGAs (Sikonge, Uyui, Singida, Manyoni, Kwimba and

Sengerema districts). From July 2011 to April 2012, preparation, submission and discussion of

inception report were done and implementation of the baseline survey by a consultant was

done. Furthermore, excursion of staff for technical training in Japan was conducted while

training of participants from the project areas was done in Mwanza City and Tabora

Municipality.

(xv) Development of Sustainability Strategy

A two days stakeholders‟ forum to discuss and identify sustainability issues and challenges for

the Rural Water Supply projects was conducted to prepare inputs for the sustainability strategy.

The workshop was held from on 3rd

and 4th

of July 2012. The workshop participants included

DPs, NGOs, CBOs, Regional Secretariats, LGAs and selected representatives from water user

entities. A consultation meeting with PMO-RALG on their role in sustainability of Rural Water

Supply Projects will be held on 31st July to 1

st August 2012.

5.2.2 Implementation of National Sanitation Campaign and School – WASH

(a) National Sanitation Campaign

In response to issues raised during the restructuring plan MoHSW, MoEVT and PMO-RALG

launched the National Sanitation Campaign (NSC). This campaign aims at implementing a

household sanitation initiative under the leadership of MoHSW to stimulate and improve

demand and supply through a combination of Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS),

Sanitation Marketing and other approaches; expanding and accelerating the pace of School

Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (SWASH) activities focusing on improving school sanitation

infrastructure. Moreover, the two (Household Sanitation and School Water, Sanitation and

57

Hygiene) sub-strategic interventions are implemented jointly by MoHSW, MoEVT, PMO-

RAGL and MOW.

Planned activities in the area were identifying 42 local government authorities where

interventions would take place, prepare National WASH strategy, engaging consultants to

develop training and promotional materials; prepare concepts and messages and advertise in the

TV and Radio.

42 LGAs from 12 regions for implementation of National Sanitation Campaign have been

selected; National WASH Strategy has been prepared and approved by management. MoHSW

coordinates the implementation of the NSC. The campaign has started in 42 LGAs as the point

of start, which then will expand proportionately into the remaining LGAs. The implementation

of the activities stipulated in the Action Plan has started implementation, particularly at national

level. To date the status of implementation is as follows;

using the consultant engaged Musoma Urban Water Supply and Sewerage Authority.

(b) Implementation status of sub projects in 10 selected villages in each LGA

Up to July 2012, the status of implementation in the LGAs is as follows:

62 LGAs have attained “no objection” from MoW to start construction of water sub

projects in some of the villages. Out of those 62; 26 LGAs already signed contracts with the

supervision consultants and contractors; and construction works have started. The

remaining 28 LGAs have signed contracts with supervision consultants and contractors;

construction works shall start after contractors have mobilized.

The 62 LGAs are Kilolo DC and Iringa MC (Iringa); Ludewa DC, Makete DC and Njombe

DC (Njombe); Biharamulo DC, Bukoba DC, Karagwe DC and Bukoba MC (Kagera); Hai

DC, Mwanga DC and Same DC (Kilimanjaro); Kilwa DC, Lindi MC, Liwale DC, Lindi

DC, Manyoni DC and Singida DC (Singida); Tabora MC and Nzega DC (Tabora); Kilindi

DC, Mkinga DC and Pangani DC (Tanga).

60

53 LGAs have attained the “no objection” from MoW to advertise tenders for construction

of water projects and at various stages of implementation. Out of those 26 LGAs have

acquired contractors and are waiting for “no objection” for supervision consultants in order

to sign contracts. 16 LGAs have advertised tenders and at various stages of evaluation and

preparation of contracts. The remaining 11 LGAs are in the final processes of advertising

the tenders.

The remaining LGAs are at different stages as follows:

4 LGAs have completed drilling of boreholes and are designing sub projects;

9 LGAs are drilling boreholes as water sources;

In 1 LGA, the consultant is preparing a scoping study;

In 1 LGA, the consultant is gathering information for preparation of inception report;

1 LGA of Musoma MC is implementing sub projects through Musoma UWSA;

Morogoro DC has not yet engaged consultant.

The Morogoro DC received both technical and financial proposals from six shortlisted firms.

After evaluation of technical proposals, it proceeded to open the financial proposals. In the

process of opening the financial proposals, financial proposal from one firm was missing. The

procurement process is to be repeated, whereby a consultant is expected to be in place by

December 2012.

(c) Status on Construction/Rehabilitation of Medium Size Dams in Drought Prone Areas

For the period from July 2011 to June 2012, implementation of construction of dams continued,

from which the following medium size dams in semi arid areas were being implemented:

Wegero (Musoma) dam was completed; and construction /rehabilitation of the other 7 medium

sized dams of Habiya (Bariadi), Seke Ididi (Kishapu), Iguluba (Iringa), Kawa (Nkasi), Sasajila

(Chamwino), Matwiga (Chunya) and Mwanjoro (Meatu) is ongoing.

(d) Hand Pump Supply Chain - Expand the existing supply chain of private retail outlets

to ensure the availability of equipment such as water pumps and spare parts; and

maintenance services for RWSS sub-projects

The original plan was to engage a consultant to study on the hand pump supply chain only.

However, it was later agreed to include other water supply facilities required for construction

and maintenance of water supply schemes. The revised ToR for engaging a consultant to make

studies on the supply chain was submitted to the World Bank on 12th

March 2012 and a

reminder sent on 24th

April 2012 for no objection.

5.2.4 Achievements vs. Planned (MKUKUTA II) Targets

61

Based on MKUKUTA II, the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation component planned to

increase access to clean and safe water supply from 58.7% in 2009 to 65% in June 2015, which

is equivalent to addition of 2.22 million new beneficiaries in rural areas by 2015. On the part of

sanitation, the target was to increase the percentage of population with improved sanitation at

household level from 23% in 2010 to 35% by 2015 and making sure that proportional of

schools with improved sanitation facilities increased.

As per December 2011 the trend shows that water coverage is at 56.6%. The decline is due to

various reasons; including drying off of water sources as a result of droughts in various parts of

the country; poor sustainability of water schemes due to lack of ownership, missing of spare

parts and competent technical personnel to support operations and maintenance and low

investment level compared to the population growth in rural areas.

Table 15: Number of People with Access to Water Supply Service in Rural Areas from

Year 2009 to 2011

Year No. of People with Access to Water Supply in Rural Areas

2009 19,685,659

2010 20,545,945

2011 20,634,227

62

Figure 12: Trends in Rural Water Supply Coverage based on Functioning Water

Facilities

5.2.5 Assessment against MDG Targets

The MDG trajectory for water supply coverage in rural areas was supposed to increase by at

least 1.53% point per annum since the year 2000 (the millennium summit year), which implies

that it was supposed to increase from 48% in 1990 to 51% in 2000, to 55.9% in 2003, to

63.24% in 2008, and to 66.4 in 2010; so as to attain the 74% anticipated MDG service coverage

by 2015. According to the routine data system, the actual trend indicates an increase from 48%

in 1990, to 51% in 2000, to 53% in 2003 to 57.1% in 2007, to 57.8% in 2010, to 56.6% in

2011. This is an increase of 8.6% during the 1990- 2011 period. That means, in order to meet

the MDG target of 74% by 2015; there still remain 17.4% of people without access that are

supposed to be covered with service by 2015. This indicates that attaining MDG target for

water supply service in the rural areas is off track.

According to statistics, more than 90% of the household population in the rural areas have

access to basic sanitation; hence the country appears to be on track to meet the sanitation target

of the 2015. However, it is difficult to conclude on overall sanitation as WASH facilities and

practice in schools and health facilities (facility for client) have no baseline data in MKUKUTA

II.

December 2011

5.2.6 Challenges in RWSS

(i) Communication Channels in IAs

Channelling relevant communication to the designated officers in a timely manner in order to

ensure that issues are addressed and participating agencies represented at meetings remains a

major challenge in coordination of component 2 activities. The suggestion made at one of the

TWG meeting to identify focal point officers at MoHSW, MoEVT and PMO-RALG as a

means of improving the coordination to bring a closer follow-up of the RWSS planned

activities.

(ii) Financing

Despite the high population in the rural areas, sector financing remains low compared to

investments made in urban and small towns.

(iii) Water Schemes Sustainability

The sector faces considerable capacity challenge at community level. COWSOs have been

given sustainability responsibilities. However, they lack effective tools and experience in

managing schemes.

(iv) Technology Options

Due to increase in the level of development in rural areas, the major shift in the selection of

water supply technologies by communities from the program preference of hand pump schemes

to piped scheme has resulted in increasing the investment unit costs. More precautions are

required as we move to WSDP II where we need to provide more education on the unit costs of

investments and operational and maintenance costs to communities who have the responsibility

on sustainability.

(v) Climate change

Some of the projects whose sources were providing adequate water services to the communities

have been drying up during dry season. This situation affects coverage and therefore decreasing

service levels. The LGAs are working closely with other stakeholders to carry out mitigation

measures to ensure that the infrastructure have sustainable water supply.

(vi) Low Capacity at LGAs and RSs levels

64

The capacity of LGAs in terms of human resources, equipment and systems is still inadequate

to meet WSDP implementation requirements. More LGAs and RSs are being established and

available facilities are not sufficient to the LGAs and RSs already in place. The developed

capacity development plans are the start points for capacity building but inadequate resources is

the setback that needs special attention.

(vii) Low capacity of the private sector in executing works

There is low capacity of private sector in construction activities. This was evidenced during

construction of small-scale schemes (quick-wins) and boreholes drilling (for 10 villages)

whereby in some LGAs re-advertisement was made to meeting the procurement requirements.

The MoW will continue carrying out awareness creation to make private sector participate in

rural Water supply projects.

5.3 COMPONENT 3: URBAN WATER SUPPLY AND SANITATION

Component 3 of WSDP provides support to improve utility performance in the DAWASA

service area that includes Dar es Salaam, Kibaha, Bagamoyo and some parts of Mkuranga; 19

Regional Urban Water Supply and Sanitation (UWSSs) utilities and a total of 109 and District

and Small Towns, as well as, 7 National schemes in the provision of water and sanitation

services. According to the new Water Supply and Sanitation Act No. 12 of 2009, the 19

regional Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Authorities, are graded under four categories of

AA, A, B and C as follows:

(i) Category „AA‟: Those with water service coverage of more than 85% and meet all

operation and maintenance costs, depreciation and return on investment.

(ii) Category „A‟: Those with water service coverage of more than 75% and meet all

operational and maintenance costs and depreciation.

(iii) Category „B‟: Those with water service coverage of more than 65% and meet all

operational and maintenance costs.

(iv) Category „C‟: Those with water service coverage of less than 65% and meet

operational costs except part of plant electricity costs as shall be determined in the MoU.

Figure 14 shows categories of UWSAs.

65

Figure 14: Regional UWSSAs Categories

Component 3 has two sub-components namely:

(i) Management support for Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Authorities; and

(ii) Urban WSS investments (Works as well as Goods and Services).

5.3.1 Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Authorities Management Support

The thrust of this sub-component includes strengthening the capacity of Urban Water and

Sanitation Authorities through the provision of Capacity Building Grants. In this FY

2011/2012 this sub-component was planned to provide support in the following areas:-

(i) Rehabilitation and Construction of UWSSAs offices

The target was to continue with construction of Babati new office and procure works for

Sumbawanga UWSSA. The construction progress of new office in Babati UWSSA has

reached 32%, works are in progress, whereas the detailed design and tender documents for

Sumbawanga are completed. Procurement of works for 3 offices in small towns of Mpwapwa,

Utete, and Tunduma is also ongoing at various stages.

(ii) Provision of Technical Advisory Services to assist the Regional UWSSAs and Small

Towns

The component continued preparation of Design Studies & Supervision in various activities

(Studies /Designs for Water Supply and Sewerage infrastructures). The status is that:

The Feasibility studies, Detailed designs and tender document preparations for all of

the seven (7) towns: of Bukoba, Musoma, Babati, Lindi, Sumbawanga, Mtwara and

Kigoma, were completed in December 2011, in a joint undertaking by MoW with the

coordinated support from EU, KfW and AfD;

Design studies for Bunda, Mugumu, Tarime, Mugango/Kiabakari Water Supply

systems and Musoma sewerage are completed;

Supervision of Immediate Works in Mtwara, Lindi and Babati are in progress.

(iii) Revision of DAWASA Act:

The lease revision for DAWASA-DAWASCO:

66

The lease Contract approved by EWURA Board has been signed by DAWASA and

DAWASCO and a final copy submitted to EWURA on 15th

March 2012. The document is

now ready for use.

The amendment of DAWASA Act:

MoW submitted the proposed amendments to Chief Parliamentary Draftsman (CPD) on

23//11/2011 for vetting and received their comments on 11/01/2012. MoW presented the draft

Cabinet paper to the stakeholders meeting held on 25/04/3012 for more comments, thereafter

submitted the commented draft to the Cabinet Secretariat for further steps.

(iv) Clustering

Clustering is a process of putting together water supply and sanitation utilities to form a

common managerial body for efficient delivery of water supply and sanitation services in order

to obtain commercial viability. There are two forms of clusters namely Cluster model II where

category A Regional Authorities are clustered with district/small town water authorities and

cluster model I where small town water authorities are clustered themselves.

The studies on both models raised various policy and legal issues that were required to

addressed before full implementation. The issues included the D by D policy, Human

resources, Institutional Setup, investment, Clustering regulations, and financial support during

transition period and legal issues regarding LGAs and Regional Water Authorities.

A team of members from MoW, PMO-RALG and EWURA was appointed to review the issues

so as to propose the way forward. The team strongly recommended that the utilities should

ensured of continued financial support both from both Local Government and Central

Government until their financial viability is attained and also they should undertake capacity

building for billing and revenue collection. The team also recommended that the Clustering to

start in phases as well as involvement of LGAs and Councils. However the issue of Board

dissolution remain pending. Thereafter the process of clustering will start after finalizing the

Clustering regulation.

5.3.2 Investments in UWSS Sub-projects

In this sub-component, the aim is strengthening the delivery of water and sanitation services

by Category A, B, C and DUWSSAs, DAWASA area, District Headquarters, Small towns and

National Projects through the provision of Sub-loans and/or Capital Development Grants to

finance investments in UWSS Sub-projects. Implementation of the sub-component has been

progressing reasonably well during this period. Significant progress has been made on sub-

projects implementation on the ground as quite a number of new water supply schemes have

either been completed or are at advanced stages of completion. In the FY 2011/2012 the

activities which were planned to be implemented under this sub-component were divided into

categories as follows:

(i) Investment for Dar-es-Salaam (DAWASA/DAWASCO)

67

This activity deals with expansion and WSS services in Dar es Salaam – construction of

Kidunda dam to regulate Ruvu river, dedicated trunk main to University Reservoir,

augmentation of treatment capacity and expansion of network to un-served areas.

(a) Kidunda dam

The contract was extended to August 2012, the consultant is finalizing design of the dam

including hydropower related facilities, for which MoU between DAWASA and TANESCO

has to be signed. The consultant has also prepared a draft ESIA report and discussed it at a

stakeholders meeting in February 2012. The WB reviewed and provided comments on the draft

ESIA and RAP during the just ended Joint Supervision mission. The design consultancy for the

access road is at the inception stage. The Technical feasibility study and ESIA/RAP for

Kidunda dam are under preparation.

(b) Development of Kimbiji and Mpera groundwater for Dar es Salaam Water Supply:

Consultant for Aquifer Assessment and Modeling Consultancy has prepared a phase I report

on Conceptual Aquifer Model, which has been commented by the World Bank on number and

depth of boreholes. Consultant for Kimbiji submitted to DAWASA an Aquifer design review

and drilling supervision has prepared a draft technical specification and bidding document

which has also been commented by World Bank.

(c) Expansion of Upper Ruvu (Water Treatment Plant) and Construction of the Trunk

Main/Transmission Line from Kibaha to Kimara

The contract involves the design, review for measurement and pumping plan and design for

harmonizing the pipeline. The contract for design and supervision consultancy service was

signed and started in March 2012.

(d) Lower Ruvu Expansion Works (MCC)

This year plans were to continue expansion of Lower Ruvu (Water Treatment Plant). The

contractor has continued with construction of raw water sump, pump house, clarifier, and

clear water tank and pump house. The completion rate of the works for the expansion of the

treatment plant is at 36%. The works is in progress and expected to be completed on March

2013.

(e) Construction of the Lower Ruvu Trunk Main to the University Reservoirs

Compensation of the affected people was completed. Supervision consultant is in place.

DAWASA has launched Tenders for works which are expected to complete in August 2013.

Construction is expected to complete after 15 months.

(f) Community water supply and sanitation systems in peri-urban and low income

settlements of Dar es Salaam project under BTC:

The project aims at improving the living condition of the communities in peri-urban low

income settlements of Dar es Salaam City. In the FY 2011/2012,18 production boreholes with

total discharge capacity 3,500m3 were drilled and installed in Dar es Salaam areas namely,

Mbagala Kuu, Makangarawe, Tandika, Mtoni Mashine ya Maji (Temeke); Tandale and

68

Barafu (Kinondoni); and Tabata Kisiwani, Kiwalani and Kinyerezi (Ilala). Procurement for

contractor for distribution networks is underway.

(ii) Investment in Regional Towns, DUWSSs, Small Towns and National Projects

WSDP planned to implement priority activities in UWSSs, for the purpose of improving water

supply and sewerage services in respective areas. The priority interventions and status is

provided here under:-

(a) Immediate works (quick wins)

In the year 2011/12 a total of 5 DUWSSs implemented immediate works (quick wins) that

could yield quick results in improving water supply services to customers, while preparing the

long term construction works. The towns are Orkesumet, Maswa, Mwanga, Himo and Karatu.

The trend shows that the number of the implemented towns in FY 2011/2012 has decreased

compared to the previous year (2010/2011). This is due to lack of funds. Figure 15 shows

implementation of immediate works in Utilities.

Figure 15: Implementation of Immediate Works in Utilities

(b) Rehabilitation and expansion of WSS services in 7 Group I Towns

These are towns that have very low water supply coverage and previously did not receive

the towns were excavation for the footing and foundation of the tanks, trench excavation and

pipe laying, construction of substructure for booster pump station, chlorination room, guard

houses and boreholes drilling.

5.3.3 Progress on Output and Estimated Outcomes against MKUKUTA II Targets

The targets for urban water supply and sewerage are derived from MKUKUTA II. The targets

were to increase access to water supply at regional capitals from 84% in 2010 to 95%, Dar es

Salaam from 55% in 2010 to 75%, District, Small Towns and National Projects from 53% in

2010 to 57% by 2015. On sanitation the target include the coverage of sewerage service from

18% in 2010 to 22% in 2015. By June 2012, water supply coverage was 86% in the 19 urban

regional headquarters which were defined by MKUKUTA to represent urban sector. The

coverage in district head quarters and small towns was 53% and coverage in Dar es Salaam

reached 67%. MKUKUTA targets could not be realized due to various reasons, including

delayed implementation of planned investment sub projects. The brief summary of the

performance attained by Urban Water supply and sewerage authorities for the period from

July 2011 to June 2012 is presented here under:

(i) Trends of Water Supply Service Coverage in the 19 UWSSAs

The population coverage maintained at 86% in 2009/2010, 2010/11 and 2011/2012, this is due

to the fact that population within service areas in various Authorities have increased. Figure

16 shows the status of water supply coverage in the 19 UWSSs.

72

Source: UWSSAs Annual Reports

Figure 16: Status of Water Supply Coverage in the 19 UWSSAs

(ii) Number of household connected to water supply and sewerage systems

The number of household connected to water supply system in UWSSAs has been increasing

from year to year. Currently the number has increased from 254,236 in 2010/2011 to 289,058

in 2011/2012 an increase of 13.7%. In DAWASCO, the increase is from 122,990 in

2010/2011 to 129,672 in 2011/2012 an increase of 5.4%.

Source: Annual UWSSAs Reports

Figure 17: Trend of Household Water Connections

The trend of house connection in general for both UWSSAs and DAWASCO had a positive

increase from 2007/2008 to 2008/2009 and decrease in 2009/2010 was due to removal of

abandoned house connections of DAWASCO.

(iii) Number of household connected to sewerage systems

The number of household connected to sewerage system in UWSSAs has increased from

19,209 in 2010/2011 to 20,910 in 2011/2012. In DAWASCO, number of connections

73

increased from 18,415 in 2010/2011 to 19,200 in 2011/2012. Figure 18 shows trends in

sewerage connections previous years.

The number of water supply and sewerage infrastructure rehabilitated or constructed is

measured by the number of kilometers of network increase. In UWSSAs, the length of water

supply infrastructure network increased from 4,834 in 2010/2011to 5,400km in 2011/2012.

For sewerage, the length of infrastructure network in UWSSAs increased from 414.30km in

2010/2011 to 488.90 in 2011/2012.


Figure 19: Trends in the Length of Water Supply and Sewerage System Infrastructure in

19 UWSSAs

In DAWASCO, the length of water supply infrastructure network increased from 1658 in

2010/2011 to 1670 Km of water supply network in 2011/2012. Figure 19 shows trends in the

length of water supply system infrastructure per year. In DAWASCO, the length of sewerage

infrastructure increased from 238km in 2009/2010 to 280.

(iv) Number of constructed Kiosks

74

The trends in construction of kiosks in UWSSAs decreased from 1,511 in 2010/2011 to 1,601

in year 2011/2012. In DAWASCO, the number of kiosks was 195 in 2009/2010 to 199. Each

kiosk is designed to serve about 60 beneficiaries.

(v) Number of average hours of service

Average hours of service per day for UWSSAs decreased from 19.85 in 2010/2011 to 18.00 in

2011/2012. Average hours of service for DAWASCO decreased from 9 to 8 in 2010/2011 to

2011/2012 respectively.

(vi) Rate of Non Revenue Water

The average (%) Non Revenue Water in UWSSAs has increased from 32.5% in 2010/2011 to

37% in 2011/2012. The metering ratio has increased from 91.4% in 2010/2011 to 93% in

2011/2012. In DAWASCO, the Non Revenue Water (%) decreased from 49.9% in 2010/2011

to 41.8 in 2011/2012. The metering ratio increased from 86% in 2010/2011 to 91%. The

increase of the Non Revenue Water (NRW) average level for UWSSAs is due to physical

losses caused by leaks arising from bursting of old age pipes in the distribution network. (like

the newly completed Iringa Water Supply Scheme, which caused an increased system

pressures causing leakages in older parts of the network).

5.3.4 Challenges in the UWSSAs

(i) Accumulation of outstanding unpaid certificates still persists across the board. This has

led to interest accumulation and increased cost of contracts and delayed completion of

works. Furthermore, it is painting bad reputation of the program as non-paying and in

future tenders potential service providers (service providers and suppliers) may refrain

to apply. As of July 2012 unpaid certificates valued to Tshs. 36.3 billion while the

interest accumulated to Tshs. 6.8 billion.

(ii) Inadequate qualified staff in small town utilities and national projects led to difficulties

in implementation of immediate works projects. Furthermore, the present vacancies in

the professional positions of the UWSSAs may affect the overall performance of the

utilities, due to gaps in the available expertise. Earmarked funds not captured by

experts in the MIS at Implementing Agencies (IAs) due to donors not inform IAs when

send the fund to contractors

(iii) Procurement procedure in which the time required for the proposal to be processed

between UWSSAs, MoWI and World Bank for No- Objection is often too long causing

delays in the execution of projects, e.g. (i) Construction of Lower Ruvu pipeline is yet

to start apart from Government setting aside funds in 2012/2013 and DAWASA

procurement processes. (ii) Addendum for procurement of Pumps for Lindi has also

delayed completion of immediate works resulting into big shortage of water.

75

(iv) Shortage of funds that led to omitting the implementation of some projects including

projects for the towns that has finished studies example Songea (Namtumbo, Mbinga

and Tunduru) and Tanga (Muheza and Pangani). Delay by UWSSAs in acquiring title

deeds for construction of offices for utilities.

(v) Accumulation of unpaid electricity bills for the category B & C and NPs utilities,

leading to power cut by TANESCO resulting in shortage of water supply to the service.

Measures to be taken:

(i) MoW and DPs have agreed to revert to disbursing funds according to disbursement

projections so that component activities can be done as per annual work plans. During

the 1st Steering Committee held on 16th February 2012, MoW presented its cash flow

projections for 6 months (FY 2011-2012) however; the decision has not been taken into

action todate.

(ii) 4 engineers and 6 technicians have been transferred to some small towns to cover the

hman resource gap as an interim measure. Meanwhile the process to employ new staff

in UWSA is continuing.

(iii) There are a number of stages that requires No-Objection, for example, to get a

consultant requires the following stages:

a) Expression of Interest(EoI)

b) Evaluation Report of EoI

c) Request for Proposal (RFP)

d) Evaluation Report of Proposals

e) Contract preparation.

Mow has proposed to WB to eliminate No - Objection in some stages which are

normally found to be standard, without affecting the relevance of pre-view process.

These stages are (b), (c) and (e).This will substantially reduce the procurement delays

and hence speed up the process.

(iv) The Ministry has requested the Ministry of Finance to set aside special funds for

electricity bills. Also all UWSSs have been instructed to allocate part of funds in their

budget for electricity bills.

5.4 COMPONENT 4: INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING AND CAPACITY

BUILDING

The overall objective of this component is to provide support to Sector Institutional

Strengthening and Capacity Building. It has responsibilities of providing regulatory,

76

coordination and administration support to facilitate sector development and investment; and

strengthening participation of service providers in the water and sanitation services. To realize

this objective, the components activities are divided into four intervention areas:

(i) Support for Operationalization of the new role of the Ministry of Water.

(ii) Technical Assistance for Strengthening of Sub – Sector Planning and Operational

Capacities.

(iii) Support sector coordination and performance monitoring.

(iv) Support for sector capacity building.

This component provides capacity building grants to support efficient implementation of the

Water Sector Development Program. The component focuses on institutional transformation of

the role of the Ministry by strengthening its role in policy formulation, oversight and capacity

building roles to other implementing agencies. The support includes strengthening the legal

framework, provide technical and managerial assistance, support the development of

infrastructures, providing working tools, and assisting in developing human resources,

including skills and knowledge. Status for each intervention area is provided here under:-

5.4.1 Support for Operationalization of the New Role of the Ministry of Water

(i) Technical assistance to facilitate the Ministry’s role (development of the 10-year

corporate strategy, preparation of corporate charter)

Preparation of the revised client service charter has been completed, which consists of activities

of the MoW and excluding the activities of irrigation which currently belong to the Ministry of

agriculture, food and cooperatives and approved in May 2012. The charter is currently in

operational.

(ii) Rehabilitation and construction of office accommodation at Ubungo

Rehabilitation/construction of offices at the Ministry of Water Headquarters was planned to be

implemented in two phases. Phase 1 covers seven building blocks whereas the second phase

covers 11 building blocks. Phase 1 has been completed except for block D for which BoQ and

cost estimates have been prepared by the Consultant. Rehabilitation work under Phase 2, which

is to be financed by Government‟s own funds, is scheduled to start in the coming FY 2012/13.

(iii) Construction of MoW Headquarters Building

During the restructuring of procurement plan for WSDP basket fund, DPs withdrew from

financing construction of the proposed MoW Headquarters Building even though it was among

the planned activities in the WSDP phase I. The ministry is currently seeking funds from other

sources including Government allocations.

(iv) Procurement of Computers, communication and other office equipment for MOW,

RSs, LGAs, BWOs, DUWSAs

77

One (1) Goods contract for the supply of (17) heavy duty photocopiers, (112) medium duty

photocopiers, (175) facsimiles, and (2) digitizers, signed in October, 2009 for delivery in

January, 2010 had not been executed. Based on this information, MoW has decided to officially

cancel the contract and restart the new procurement process. The cancellation of the contract

had been approved by the Ministerial Tender Board (MTB) for submitted to the WB for no

objection.

(v) Installation of Management Information Systems (MIS)

Water Sector Management Information System (MIS):

(a) Current Achievements

The Government has installed Water Sector Programme MIS, which became operational in

June 2011 at MoW, BWOs, LGAs, UWSAs, Agencies and National Water Projects. All

contracts and non contract payments under WSDP had been entered into the system. MIS data

also include earmarked projects from UWSAs, BWOs, LGAs and other IAs. The system is

implemented in phases in order to ensure sustainability based on lessons learnt. To a great

extent, the recorded transactions in MIS are now more complete and in consistence with that of

EPICOR or any other accounting system being operated by a particular IA however, close

monitoring is still needed to ensure that all IAs comply with instructions provided to them

through a mechanism that has been put in place. MoW is really leveraging from the use of this

services. Currently, the functional Water Sector Development Programme MIS covers the

following modules and functionalities:

(i) Planning and Budgeting: This module offers definition of projects, project targets as

well as project activities. It also offers the project planning activity amount, Source

funds commitment and donor disbursement functions.

(ii) Procurement Management: This module offers management of project procurement

activities, annual plans, procurement planning, tenders and tender activities.

(iii) Contract Management: This offers management of contracts that includes suppliers,

contract awards, contract amounts, contract lots, contract payments schedules and

awarded contracts.

(iv) Financial Management: The module offers management of financials. They include

program fund releases, component funds releases, implementing entity funds releases,

contract expenditures, non-contract expenditures and addendum/variations.

(v) Reporting: The reporting capability of this system cuts across all functional areas. The

system reports include project planning related reports such as projects, budget

estimates by components, project and activity budgets. Other reports include

procurement plans, procurement plan activities, contract lists, contract payments and

balances, contract payment schedules, publication of the Awards of Contracts, IFRs,

etc.

Before the Water Sector Programme MIS became operational, the Ministry of Water has been

implementing various systems to support data management and M&E for specific functional

areas. Some of these systems include: the Integrated Financial Management System (IFMS)

and the Strategic Budget Allocation System (SBAS3) both under the Ministry of Finance and

Economic Affairs; HYDATA under the Water Resource Management (MoW); Human Capital

78

Information Database system under PO-Public Service Management; and MaJIS under

EWURA. The Ministry also intends to deploy Water Point Mapping System for LGA‟s in the

financial year 2012/2013. Besides these systems, other tailor made applications also exist in

various divisions/units.

(b) Existing Challenges:

(i) Absence of Information Management/Technology Policy: Even though the country has a

national ICT policy statement, the Ministry of Water currently does not have an

instituted Information Management/Technology Policy tailored sector use.

(ii) The Sector Lacks ICT Training: The Sector lacks adequately trained ICT personnel to

take on the required IT mission. The skill level of the existing staff requires sharpening

in order to stay abreast with technology.

(iii) Inadequate information gathering mechanism: The current method for gathering

information needs improvement. Given the vast geographic location that is covered by

data collection and water supply points, a more realizable means of data collection

should be considered. For example, using GIS technology and portable devices are

needed to collect data on water points and distribution infrastructure.

(c) Strategies to Overcome the Challenges

As an effort to tackle the existing challenges as mentioned and to enhance data management

and information dissemination among the WSDP IAs through an integrated sector MIS, the

following ICT projects are in various stages of initiation or implementation and be completed

as follows:-

(i) The Ministry has started to enhance the existing MIS so that additional new user

requirements are met in order to make the system sustainable. This will be completed

by October 2012.

(ii) The Ministry has prepared short term MIS training programme for users at all levels by

conducting training to more staff including all accountants from LGAs, internal auditors

from IAs, and all procurement staff from WSDP IAs. The execution of this training

programme will be completed by November 2012.

(iii) The Ministry has initiated a process to procure ICT equipments for IAs to implement

MIS and WPM system. This will be completed by January 2013.

(iv) The Ministry has prepared Terms of Reference for Scaling up Water Sector Programme

MIS to enhance M&E functions in the water sector. Terms of Reference has been

submitted to e Government Agency (eGA) to obtain technical inputs to avoid

duplication of efforts. Inputs from eGA will be obtained by September 2012 so that

further steps are taken. It is envisaged that the scaling up of the existing MIS to be

completed by June 2013. While most of the current systems will continue to be operated

in their respective domains, the presence of Water Sector MIS will provide an

opportunity to pool selected sets of information to a single platform (Water sector MIS)

in order to enhance and further support SWAP. This will also enable sector to review

and integrate existing systems, where feasible, by developing relevant models that can

79

support the various applications and further built relevant interfaces for the systems and

users.

(v) The Ministry has prepared Terms of Reference for the preparation of information

security policy and disaster recovery plan and submitted to eGovernment Agency for

sharing and obtaining technical inputs based on the national standards. This will enable

the sector to develop a statement or collection of statements that articulates the sector

wide ICT position along with a directive for field offices to comply with the national

guidelines in order to ensure synergy at the national level. Such guideline shall be

tailored to fit the unique needs of each entity. It is envisaged that this policy will be

prepared based on the national and/or international best practices and be in place by

June 2013.

(vi) The Ministry intends to improve the internal and external communication infrastructure

using ICT by deploying the use of National Optic Fibre Services. The tendering process

started. This will enhance the data and voice transfer and facilitate reliability and

availability of Water Sector MIS and other systems.

(vii) The Ministry will prepare a long term plan for putting in place adequate infrastructure

and the necessary training required and tools (such as standardized tools, applications

and procedures, modern data collection equipments, etc) required to support and

maintain the sector ICT & MIS environment.

(viii) The Ministry will develop an enterprise architecture that will support information flow

from and to all stakeholders appropriately.

5.4.2 TA for Strengthening of Sub-Sector Planning and Operational Capacities

(i) Components Program Management Support

Four Technical Advisers (TA) contracts for (i) operational hydrology, (ii) IWRM, and (iii) dam

safety and (iv) Water Resources Information System (WRIS) have reached an advanced stage

where ToRs prepared are ready for submission to MTB for approval. Technical proposal for

TA for water quality management was approved by MTB on May 14, 2012. MoW is also

considering an additional TA for groundwater management. However, the consultancy services

for Dam safety will be a continuation from the previous contract except that the terms of

references (ToRs) will be modified to suit current needs.

(ii) Development of regulations and sub sector operational procedures and guidelines

(including environmental management monitoring)

The two acts namely; Water Resources Management Act No. 11 and Water Supply and

Sanitation Act No. 12 became effective in August 2009. Regulations on 14 sections out of 41

sections in the Water resources Act have been completed. Three regulations have been gazetted

regarding (i) registration of water users association, (ii) water abstraction, use and discharge

and (iii) procedure for nomination board members for National Water Board and Basin Water

Boards. Whereas 3 out of 11 Regulations in the Water Supply and Sanitation Act have been

completed. The remaining eight (8) regulations require research.

80

5.4.3 Support Sector Coordination and Performance Monitoring

(i) Support for the operations of the Sector Working Group and National Water Board

The TWG 4 held an extraordinary meeting in February 2012 and all the four TWGs met in

April, 2012. For the first time, the new Steering Committee (SC), held its first meeting on

February 16, 2012 where it was briefed on status of implementation of the program, challenges

of implementation and the mitigating majors being taken to minimize deficiencies. The work

plan, the budget and the procurement plan were approved by the SC. The National Water Board

is operational and was officially inaugurated on 26th

July 2012 in Arusha, whereby it held its

second meeting on 27 July 2012.

(ii) Annual sector reviews and stakeholder consultation

MoW has conducted 6th

Joint Water Sector Review (JWSR) meeting from 18th

-19th

October

2011. The meeting involved various water Sector stakeholders; including representation from

MoW, PMO-RALG, MoHSW, MoEVT, MoF, MCDGC, Development Partners (DPs), Civil

Society Organizations (CSOs), Regional Secretariats, Local Government authorities, Urban

Water Supply and Sewerage Authorities, District Urban Water Supply and Sanitation

Authorities, National Projects and the Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority

(EWURA). The meeting discussed various issues, including making follow up on the

implementation of undertakings of the previous 2 and half years, discussing physical progress

for programme implementation and receive various reports from other stakeholders who work

together with the Ministry.

(iii) Annual technical and financial audits

Those responses and Implementation status of the action plans for Financial and Special Audits

were shared with DPs and finally submitted to CAG. There are no outstanding issues from

CAG as far as Special and Financial Audits are concerned. Also most of the financial audit

queries raised in various audits have been cleared by the Auditor (CAG) except for MIS Data

verification audit queries relating to opening and closing balances reported by implementing

agencies. The Audit verification for replies has been done and we are now waiting for the audit

comment from CAG.

(iv) Development and Implementation of Communication Strategy - Strengthening the

Information, Education and Communication Unit

The Government Communication Unit (GCU) was established in 2007 as fully fledged unit.

The unit prepared media materials on NAWAPO, NWSDS and WSDP for dissemination using

simplified languages, documentaries, posters, fliers and pamphlets, radio and TV programmes,

as a way of implementing the WSDP communication strategy. For the year 2011/2012, a total

of 19 radio and TV programmes, advertisements, and comedy and drama series were aired; and

more than 40,000 copies of posters, fliers and cartoon booklets on water sector were

disseminated. WSDP Communication Strategy was developed and booklets disseminated to

LGAs, WSSAs, and Basin Water Offices. The implementation of the strategy is going on at all

81

levels. Presently we are on the process of getting a Consultant to evaluate the impact of the

Communication Strategy and determine gapes if any.

5.4.4 Support for Sector Capacity Building

(i) Recruitment of skilled manpower to fill the gaps in all essential fields

Apart from a total of 628 new employees who were employed up to June 2011, no new

employees were employed.

(ii) Training of Water Sector Staff

Up to June 2012, only a limited number of MoW staff were trained in the fields of monitoring

and evaluation (2), record management (2), communication, Information technology and

networking(1), sustainable urban water and sanitation integrated process (1), and

programmable logic controllers for advanced automation (1). The consultant for conducting

training assessment is in place and has started work.

(iii) Sector Staff Augmentation

A total of 159 staff in former Regional Consulting units (RCUs) and BWOs were identified as

suitable for redeployment to LGAs and small towns. However, due to financial constraints only

six (6) had so far been transferred to Kibiti and Ikwiriri small towns. Also, due to financial

constraints the government has frozen new recruitments in all sectors except for the health and

education sectors. Human resources capacity constraints in IAs (BWOs, LGAs, and small

towns) especially in the fields of financial management, procurement and contract management

and engineering, was inhibiting efficient implementation of the program.

(iv) Capacity Development Framework and Capacity Development Plans

A checklist for monitoring implementation of the CD Plans developed by MoW has been

shared with EWURA, PMO-RALG, LGAs, DPs, and other stakeholders. However, the

implementation has yet started due to inadequate of finance.

(v) Water Sector Governance

Implementation Open Government Partnership (OGP) in the Water Sector

The Open Government Partnership (OGP) is a global initiative that aims at promoting

transparency, empower citizens, fight corruption and encourage use of new technologies to

improve governance. The OGP was formally launched in New York on 20th September, 2011.

The OGP is overseen by a multi-stakeholder International Steering Committee comprised of

Government and civil society representatives. Among the major benefits of OGP is to improve

service delivery and make Governments more responsible and accountable to their citizens.

Given the benefits of this initiative, Tanzania declared its intention to join OGP during the

launching meeting. The country intention to join OGP is to make Government business more

82

open to its citizens in the interest of improving public service delivery, Government

responsiveness, combating corruption and building greater trust. Specifically, Tanzania has

joined OGP in order to:

Promote public integrity and transparency, enhance proper management of public

resources and fight corruption; and

Strengthen mechanisms for citizens engagement and participation in improving public

service delivery systems in their areas.

Through the Country OGP Action Plan, the Government commits itself to promoting increased

access to information about Government operations and publish data on the prioritized sectors

of Health, Education and Water.

To implement the Government commitments to OGP the Ministry of Water has prepared an

Action Plan for the year 2012/2013. The Ministry of Water intends to implement the

commitments that are related to the Water Sector to improve and sustain the aforementioned

good governance efforts in Tanzania. The action matrix for the year 2012/2013 for the Water

Sector has been prepared for action and mainstreamed in the normal annual budgeting system

as well as in the normal government statutory requirements, Medium Term Planning and

Budgeting as well as WSDP dialogue and reporting mechanisms. The purpose is to ensure that

OGP implementation and monitoring becomes part of the measures for effective

implementation of WSDP. This means the OGP intended to improve and sustain the

aforementioned good governance efforts in the water sector. The OGP commitments that will

be implemented in the Water Sector for the periods 2012/2013 include among others the

following:-

Ensure wider participation of the citizens in the running of Government by establishing

a platform for citizens to be able to send comments by mobile phone, emails and other

means, and receive feedback within reasonable time.

Strengthen Ministerial website to post online within one month, all reports, studies,

data, circulars, and other public interest data in machine readable format, except those

which compromise national security.

Establish an open forum in collaboration with civil society to review quality, integrity,

depth and pace of progress against OGP.

Develop and/or review Ministry‟s Client Service Charter and make it accessible to

citizens.

Review/establish complaints register to ensure that complaints received are attended

and feedback on action taken is adequately documented and posted to the Ministry

website quarterly.

Finalize Water Point Mapping System for LGAs and make the disaggregated data

available online and other means of communication.

Strengthen the use of Water Sector Management Information Systems by making

disaggregated data available online in machine readable format, and

83

Publishing of Parastatals Organizations, Executive Urgencies and Regulatory

Authorities revenues and expenditure on websites and news papers.

(vi) Executive Agencies

Drilling and Dam Construction Agency (DDCA) Some of the activities at this period had completed as planed and few are at the final stage. The

procurement process of Drilling machines and equipments has had three Lots whereby Lot 1

Drill rigs and accessories LC has been opened on March 2011 and the contract allowed with

partial shipment. The delivery of the goods started on December 2011 and it is expected to be

completed by August 2012. Lot 2 Support Trucks, goods has been delivered and final payment

made on 5th

June 2012. Lot 3 Support Vehicles payment has been made on February 2011 and

goods have been delivered. The procurement of groundwater exploration equipments, goods

had been received and training has been done. The procurement of the soil laboratory

equipments and procurement of design equipment, goods has been received and final payment

has been done on February 2012. The rehabilitation of drilling machines and earthmoving

machine is the ongoing process.

Water Development and Management Institute (WDMI) The delivery of library books has been completed and full paid by June 2012. The Institute has

also has procured chemicals for its laboratory, the delivery is 90%. The 10% of the expected

chemicals are restricted thus need several procedures. The procurement of Consultant for

detailed design and supervision of rehabilitation and construction new building has been

advertised and the evaluation report sent to WB in order to receive the No objection by July

2012.The procurement of office furniture and 1 generator (250KVA) are on final stage that is

contracting process. The Institute has advertised invitation for bids to procure of 50 computers

and workshop equipments their opening of tender documents is expected early August 2012.To

address the staff shortage and enhance the Institute‟s management capacity, 31 staff are

expected to be recruited through Public Service Recruitment Secretariat including 3 Directors,

the exercise is expected to be completed by September 2012. The curriculum for the Degree in

Water Resources Engineering was completed in July 2011and approved by NACTE. The

accreditation from by NACTE is not yet provided.

Maji Central Stores (MCS) The consultant presented the report to the management in November 2011 with a view of

transforming the MCS to an executive agency by recapitalizing it and restructuring the current

operational status and staff. The ministry management adopted the recommendations. The step

forward has been retarded by the shift of the operational premises from Kurasini to Boko.

During the current financial year 2002/2013the Ministry is expected to technical team from

different disciplines for preparation of operational, statutory and technical requirements.

5.4.5 Challenges

84

(i) The main challenges under component 4 is implementation of CD Plans since the

majority IAs, even some DPs, consider the CD Plans parallel with other activities such

as impact assessment study.

(ii) There is also shortage of office accommodation at MoW Headquarters and Basins.

(iii) PCU need to be strengthened and given mandate to acquire reports to whoever has

received funds for implementation of WSDP.

(iv) PCU should be facilitated to have special monitoring programmes, to identify

implementation challenges and give recommendations for improvement.

(v) To improve efficient in procurement and safeguards management, it is recommended to

have additional staff in those areas, or better safeguard coordination to be under the

PCU.

6 IMPLEMENTATION OF SAFEGUARDS POLICIES AND GUIDELINES

The Environmental and Social Management Framework provides a strategic guide for the

integration of environmental and social considerations in the planning and implementation of

the WSDP activities including issues related to International Waterways.

The Environmental and Social Management Framework and Resettlement Management

Frameworks are frameworks prepared to guide implementation of the Water Sector

development Programme (WSDP). The ESMF is used to provide the project implementers with

an environmental and social screening process to enable them identify, assess and mitigate

potential environmental and social impacts of the priority infrastructure investments.

Safeguard started concurrently with implementation of WSDP as a tool for compliance of water

projects in social and environment. Social and environmental management is mainstreamed in

all 4 WSDP components.

In its course of implementation, WSDP planned to achieve institutional strengthening in

environmental and social perspectives for effective implementation of WSDP and application

of environmental and social management measures (assessed through the environmental

checklists) to the preparation of a comprehensive ESIA and /or RAPs. Progress on the planned

activities is provided here under:-

85

6.1 Safeguards Management of Subprojects

The four WSDP Components carried out various safeguard interventions and the status of

Category A subprojects issues under Component 1 is given in Annex XX and briefly explained

as follows: Lower Ruvu Distribution Network ESIA as well as the RAP has been cleared by the

WB. Also the WB has provided a third round of comments for Kimbiji/Mpera Well Field to be

included by the consultant prior to final review.the consultant is still working on the matter for

submission on 30th

August 2012. The RAP and draft ESIA for Kidunda Dam have been

prepared and Comments provided by World Bank.The consutant has failed to finalise ESIA and

RAP and design of the Hydropower due to financial constrains

The ToR for Ngerengere - Kidunda access Road as a necessary precondition to approval on

Safeguards grounds were submitted to WB comments issued. for rectification. DAWASA are

finalising comments for resubmission.

6.2 Screening of Projects

The Environmental Audit reports can give guide on the status of the source before awarding the

water permit. During the reporting period no screening was submitted from component I.

However Basin water offices continued with assessment of screened forms and environmental

assessment reports submitted to them from LGAs within their Basins.

i) Kidunda dam Project development on environmental/Social compliancy

The ESIA for Kidunda Dam was discussed by stakeholders on 13th

March 2012, comments

raised were taken to the site for verification. The consultant was asked to address them

including the actual valuation report submitted to DAWASA by Morogoro Rural District

administration on 30th

April 2012. So far the all stakeholders are informant about their

entitlements ready for payment.

ii) Kimbiji/Mpera Aquifer Development on environmental/social compliancy

The Consultant signed contract on 15th

March, 2012 for borehole design review, prepare tender

documents and supervise drilling. Final ESIA and RAP both in hard copy and soft copy was

submitted to MoW and World Bank on 4th

April, 2012.The W. Bank raised ESIA comments

which are still being addressed by the consultant before resubmission.

iii) Community Participation

Bawamande and Lyandembera water user council conducted awareness meetings on water

sources protection in Igomaa, Ukelemi, Ugenzi and Isalavami villages. A meeting was held on

23rd

March 2012, regarding a pollution incidence. The Villages representatives and the Ministry

discussed the matter where TAZAMA Pipeline Ltd. was ordered to adhere to the recommended

86

measures i.e. to ensure the environment and the river conditions are restored. Also to provide

the analytical results of samples analysed together with an action plan to complete the

restoration exercise. The Ministry of Heath has comfirmed that no serious healthy effects of

permanent in nature were observed in the impacted villages.

Awareness rising on Water Policy, 2002 and Water Resource Management Act of 2009 and

review of water use permits were done through participation on Nane nane exhibition in Lake

Rukwa Basin. Also Awareness on water allocation was conducted to illegal water users of

Ngerengere River downstream Mindu Dam in Wami/Ruvu Basin.

iv) Water Source Protection

Consultative meeting with Arusha DC Office was done in Pangani Basin to discuss issues

related to protection of Kijenge River from wastewater discharge from Sunflag industry at

Makumira. The industry is discharging water without having a discharge permit. Other

identification of water source for protection and conservation was done in Arusha, Babati and

Bukombe in Internal Drainage Basin and awareness creation on environmental conservation

was conducted to encroachers who are performing mining, agriculture and brick making

activities at Morogoro Municipal, Mvomero and Morogoro District in Wami/Ruvu Basin

Meanwhile conservation workshop was organised by Arusha UWSA in collaboration with

Pangani Basin Water Board in Arusha to explain the intention of the basin to conserve and

protect Ngaramtoni-Magereza and Sokon 1 areas for future groundwater supply of the City.

Tree planting and Bill Board construction at Mtawanya Well Field were done in Ruvuma Basin

during Maji Week by Basin staff, MTUWASA staff and Mtawanya Community. One meeting

were conducted at Mtawanya, between Basin Staff, Mtawanya Village Leader, and Water user

group to enhance community participation in tree planting, and Bill Board installation at

Mtawanya Well Field for source protection during Maji Week.

In Rukwa Basin, awareness rising was conducted at Katuma Irrigation Scheme through

meetings and planting water friendly trees near proposed scheme sites in collaboration with

Sumbawanga Municipal staffs.

6.3 Achievements

(a) Screening of Projects

During the reporting period (July 2011 – June 2012), Screening was conducted for 164 projects

from (10) Regions namely Kigoma Kagera Lindi, Mara, Mbeya, Mtwara , Mwanza , Rukwa,

Shinyanga, and Tabora. Twenty nine (29) projects found to be under category A so need

Environment Impact Assessment (EIA). The EIA four (Kimbiji/Mpera wells drilling, Kidunda

87

dam construction, Lower Ruvu Pipeline Construction and Tanga Urban Water supply project)

out of 29 has been completed while the 25 are under review to ascertain their

comprehensiveness. The remaining 135 projects do not require EIA but need an environment

management checklist. Meanwhile only 12 projects from Mbeya Region were considered of

category B and 609 subprojects mainly from component II are Category C. No new screening

was reported from component I and III. The Category B subprojects were subjected to an

Environmental assessment by consultants who carried out the feasibility study.

(b) The preparation of ESIA for projects which falls under category A.

Component 1

Technical evaluation for ESIA consultancy subproject of the proposed Lugoda/Ndembera dam

was cancelled due to the fact that the financial figure tendered was much higher than the

planned budget. It is planned to be re- advertised once budget issues are settled.

IDB Dams ESIA preparations

The EOI documents for Consultancy on Environmental Audit for IDB Dams were opened and

preparation of RFP is in progress. While a consultant to carry out ESIA Study for Farkwa Dam

has already been identified and negotiations are in progress.

Component 2

No report submitted as regard to this component (subject for review as the new report is due to

be out after compilation of their annual meeting).

Component 3

Mbwiji -Masasi Environmental Audit report

Plans are in progress on the preparation of Mbwiji -Masasi Environmental Audit report. The

ToR have been shared with WB and commented. The revised TOR is been finalised for re-

submission to WB.

UWSAs Audit or ESIA reports

Reports from UWSAs are at various stages of preparation of environmental audit or ESIA for

safeguard compliancy. Feasibility study reports form seven towns (Kigoma, Musoma, Bukoba,

Sumbawanga, Lindi, Babati and Singida) contained a chapter discussing about the EIA, but is

not comprehensive. MoW is undertaking the review of these documents and it is to be

performed thoroughly as per requirement.

(c) Capacity Building

The World Bank conducted safeguards training activities in Dar es Salaam and Arusha in

January 2012 and attended by the 54 staff associated with program implementation.

Participants included staff from MoW Headquarters, LGAS, Regional Secretariats, BWBs

(d) Water Quality Issues

Inspection of sewage discharge into water sources was done in Nzega District in Internal

Drainage Basin. Inspection of Mwega River and collection of water samples to Government

chemist laboratory for analysis (The River was polluted with oil which leaked from TAZAMA

pipeline) were done in Rufiji Basin. In Wami/Ruvu Basin the analysis results of the pollutions

were shared by BIDCO Management, where by the polluters were requested to improve the

waste water quality to the acceptable standards. Also, Mindu dam was inspected to assess the

environmental flow downstream.

6.4 Challenges

(i) The screening is taking a slow pace due to some reasons including delayed or limited

allocation of resources, for DWST to execute field assessments. There is a possibility

that some projects activities might require displacement of people, and hence the need

for compensation.

(ii) Inadequate skilled staff has hampered smooth monitoring of environmental issues,

carrying environmental audits and supervision of implementation of proposed

mitigation measures.

7 WATER SECTOR MONITORING SYSTEMS

The WSDP monitoring systems are set in such a way that they provide key decision making

information through both routine and survey data. The routine data measures progress on

access to services resulting from investment in water infrastructure throughout the country

while surveys measures the actual use of water infrastructure, thus revealing over- or under-

utilization of infrastructure relative to the installed capacity of the system. The sector

Management Information System (MIS) specifically provides such a crucial source of

operational information in terms of finance, projects, WSDP implementing agencies, signed

contracts and other necessary actual implementation data. Through the established monitoring

system, the Ministry of Water is linked with the Prime Minister‟s Office – Regional Authorities

and Local Governments, Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, Ministry of Education and

Vocational Training, and other Implementing Agencies.

7.1 Importance of the Functional MIS Linked to an Effective M&E Framework

Currently, the online functioning MIS does provide key WSDP operational data to stakeholders

accordingly. As the WSDP operational routine data are regularly uploaded in the MIS,

production of quarterly IFRs has become an easy task. Hence, the system has established a key

WSDP monitoring information database, from which stakeholders are given an opportunity to

inquire data at specified period. For producing reliable information for WSDP implementation,

there has been a comprehensive data verification/reconciliation exercise and later data

validation, conducted by the MoW financial specialists in collaboration with staff from MoW

and other IAs. Therefore, the current operational WSDP MIS has tremendously improved the

quality of data it stores.

7.2 The Water Point Mapping

(i) The Rationale of Water Point Mapping

Producing accurate and up-to-date data on rural water supply infrastructure is one of the most

urgent challenges facing the sector. Currently, the main source of data is from routine

monitoring by Local Government Authorities, using Village Executive Officers living in each

village or care takers of water schemes.

The Ministry of Water, together with Development Partners, have previously made two

attempts to solve the mentioned challenge by developing a rural water supply database and

Management Information System (MIS). However, the databases did not accommodate the

existing coverage demand nationwide. The Rural Water Supply Database was being improved

to accommodate village attributes while the MIS introduced was implemented in the Rural

Water Supply and Sanitation Project tested in fourteen districts namely Mpwapwa, Kilosa,

90

Mvomero, Morogoro Rural, Handeni, Rufiji, Singida Rural, Manyoni, Iramba, Kilindi,

Kongwa, Kiteto, Igunga and Kondoa after establishment of MIS unit in every Local

Government Authority. Lessons learnt revealed that the two systems were subject to

improvement.

Figure 20: Water Point Collection Status for the year 2012

However, in 2008, the Joint Water Sector Review agreed that MoW should establish a single

harmonized rural water supply database. The database could be developed through

improvement of operational MIS to cover financial issues and water point mapping data on

existence and functionality of rural water supply infrastructure. Hence, the Water Point

Mapping (WPM) is a survey tool developed to produce accurate and timely data on existence

and functionality of rural water supply infrastructures. The tool now can produce user friendly

maps and intends to produce reports as well that can be used for planning new investments and

monitoring the performance of the sub-sector.

91

WPM surveys involve collecting and analyzing rural water supply infrastructure data and

presenting it in a visual, easily understandable manner. Data is collected on all public improved

water points, including their locations, schemes, types (the source, extraction and distribution

systems), functionality and reasons for non-functionality, and ownership and management. A

photograph is taken at each water point.

(ii) Status of the Water Point Mapping Survey

As of July 2012, data have been collected in 82 Local Government Authorities. The data from

WPM in these districts will be used for a number of purposes. The Local Government

Authorities use data to plan for new investments. However, NGOs use these data for planning

their own investments. Data is also used by researchers to increase understanding of

sustainability and equity issues for the water sector in the country.

The difference in achievement of goal in time is resulted from the late payment of certificate

submitted by consultant.

The consultant has already conducted a water point mapping survey and adjusted data for 63

LGAs with 2,042 Wards and 4,985 villages. 35,641 public water points were mapped, out of

which 23,545 (66.1 %) were found to be functional while 12,096 (33.9%) were non -

functional. Currently, the consultant has submitted the water points' interim report.

Furthermore, the pretesting of established web-based prototype monitoring system is underway

including the uploading of data and information for 19 LGAs. The firm is expecting to continue

with data collection activities for the remaining 50 LGAs.

7.3 Importance of Census and Survey

The routine data system, which is coordinated by the Ministry of Water as mentioned above

and national surveys coordinated by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) are the main data

sources for assessing performance in the water and sanitation sector. Evaluation of WSDP

implementation performance through surveys measures the actual use of water infrastructure,

thus revealing over- or under-utilization of infrastructure relative to the installed capacity of the

system (THDR, 2011). Analysis of these different measurements is essential for making

informed decisions for the water sector effective and efficient performance.

7.4 Sector Performance Assessments and Programme Evaluation

The WSDP implementation effort and performance indicators have been assessed once at each

end of financial year. Both the Government (MoW) and development partners (DPs) sit at a

dialogue table to conduct the exercise based on agreed performance indicators directed to both

parties. The exercise aims at instituting compliance and quality services delivery measures

92

associated with implementation of WSDP. The rating scales start at zero (0) up to the defined

maximum value for each performance indicator (Ordinarily Scaled). The consensus has been

that if no information verifying implementation of specific agreed action is available, rating

must be given a zero (0) points. A maximum value (100 points) is given if a target has been

fully achieved in the following rating scales:

(i) Satisfactory (76 - 100);

(ii) Moderately satisfactory (51 -75);

(iii) Moderately unsatisfactory (26 - 50), and

(iv) Unsatisfactory at (0 -25).

The current rating for the sector performance for implementation of WSDP based on the

financial year 2010-2011 stands as "moderate satisfactory" subject to change when a new sector

performance assessment result is out later before December 2012.

8 STATUS ON THE USE OF WATER AND SANITATION

FACILITIES AS ANALYZED BY NATIONAL SURVEYS

Access to improved sources of water (piped water, protected wells and protected springs) is

vitally important to the health and well-being of the population as the use of un-improved

sources (unprotected wells, rivers or streams, ponds, lakes or dams) is directly related to

transmission of waterborne diseases, such as diarrhea and dysentery (THDR, 2011).

The water sector continued implementing the global program (WSDP) for the year ending

December 2011 as the effort towards reducing the waterborne diseases risks. The trends of

information covered in the subsequent sections of this part of a report are from the MKUKUTA

II water sector performance assessment framework (PAF) progress report as of June 2012.

8.1 Rural Water Supply Services Improvement

Proportion of households in rural settlements with access to clean and safe water from

improved/protected sources was 56.6%; a drop of 1.2 percentage points from the figure in 2010

(57.8%).

8.2 Urban Water Supply Services Delivery Sustainability

As the WSDP implementation continued across Tanzania mainland, specific interventions in

regional urban centers have tremendously increased the physical water supply facilities, though

the access to clean and safe water from improved/protected sources went down slightly to 81%

by December 2011 from the 86% in December 2010. The proportion of households in Dar es

93

Salaam with access to clean and safe water from improved/protected sources dropped to 51% in

the same period from the 55% in December 2010.

Proportion of households in small towns with access to clean and safe water from

improved/protected sources within 30 minutes was 52.5%, a drop of about 0.5 percentage

points from the recorded figure in 2010 (53.0%).

8.3 Reasons for Declining Water Supply Services Delivery

Given all interventions made under WSDP in terms of water supply and sanitation,

environmental and social safeguards; as indicated by the figures above, the general

performance, especially in water supply coverage declined due to a number of reasons:

(i) Population increase, which does not match with investments in water infrastructure

projects;

(ii) Dilapidated water supply infrastructures, which have not been rehabilitated for so long

time. Much effort, put in constructing new projects was not enough to surpass

population increase. Hence, water supply coverage declined to figures lower than

baseline data.

(iii) Decrease in availability of water resources due to climate change that cause dry-up of

water sources;

(iv) Expansion of areas to be serviced by water utilities (a good example of the scenario is in

Arusha Municipality).

8.4 Sanitation Services

(i) Household Sanitation

It should be noted that, the main sources of data on sanitation are household surveys, which

report on types of toilets and latrines used by households in Tanzania mainland. Therefore,

information covered on this part is based on the Tanzania Human Development Report

(THDR) published by the National Bureau of Statistics in December 2011. The THDR 2011

remains valid source of sanitation information since; there is no any other current study, which

covers the field. The report shows that, the proportion of households with access to a ventilated

improved pit (VIP) latrine or a flush toilet declined from 8% in 2007 to 6% in 2010.

Furthermore, the use of traditional toilets declined from 85% in 2007 to 79% in 2010. Overall,

the proportion of households with access to basic sanitation has declined from 93% in 2007 to

86% in 2010. Indicating that, almost one in five households in rural areas has no access to a

toilet.

More effort is needed such that the target for basic sanitation under MKUKUTA II is higher as

95% by 2015, which is 9 percent points above the current household basic sanitation coverage

level of 86%.

94

(ii) School Sanitation

The MKUKUTA target for school sanitation requires that all schools meet the minimum

standard of one latrine for every 20 girls and one latrine for every 25 boys. A lack of privacy or

adequate hygiene facilities for girls can reduce school attendance and some girls‟ dropout of

school altogether due to a biological reason as pointed out in the THDR, 2011.

The most recent data on school sanitation comes from Basic Education Statistics in Tanzania

(BEST) data collected by the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training is that presented

in the THDR, 2011, which shows that the national average of pupil to pit latrine ratios (PLR)

by region is 53 pupils per latrine. Disaggregated by sex, girls‟ access to a latrine is marginally

better than boys; the ratio for girls is 51:1, for boys it is 54:1. It has been revealed that access to

school sanitation varies markedly by region, from a PLR of 27:1 in Iringa region to 78:1 in

Shinyanga. Hence, based on the MoEVT target, the current PLR for female students, which is

higher as 2.5 times the recommended ratio impends their school attendance largely if not

putting it at risk.

9 STATUS ON IMPLEMENTATION OF 6th JWSR UNDERTAKINGS

FOR FY 2011/2012

The undertakings for the FY 2011/2012 were derived from various presentations and plenary

discussions during the 6th Joint Water Sector Review meeting scheduled from 18-19 October

2011 and agreed to be implemented within one year period. In the FY 2012, the MoW has been

able to implement most of the undertakings (see Table 18 and Figure 21) with the exception of

(i) Preparation of WSDP phase II (which included preparation of objectives, targets, activities

and work plan). This could not comply with the agreed date due to extension of WSDP Phase I

from June 2012 to June 2014 of the IDA Water Sector Support Project.

The other undertaking which could not be fully implemented was the harmonization of the

work plan at national level to that of LGA level by including activities funded by donors

supporting direct to LGAs, due to lack of funds. This activity will however be done during FY

2012/2013. Also MoW did not prepare implementation action plan for addressing the issues

related with sustainability of Rural Water Supply and sanitation scheme. This activity will also

be implemented in the FY 2012/2013 after identifying all issues related with sustainability.

According to records as shown in Table 18 below, 2 out of 4 undertakings were completed by

component 1; 6 out of 11 by component 2; 4 out of 6 by component 6; and 7 out of 9

undertakings were completed by component 4. The status is therefore summarized as follows:

Figure 21: Summary of Implemented Undertakings

(a) Challenges/Constraints

This sub-chapter describes the progress vis-a-vis the planned agreed JWSR undertakings to be

implemented within the FY 2011-2012. However, there has been a delay in the implementation

of 6th JWSR undertakings -2011 which can be due to several reasons such as:

(i) Accumulation of outstanding unpaid certificates which hampers smooth implementation

of planned activities;

(ii) Unreliable disbursement of funds due to DPs‟ system of release of funds against the

project‟s contractual obligations only;

(iii) Extension of the WSDP phase I from June 2012 to February 2014 contrary to the

96

original plan has negative impact on the implementation of other programme activities

financed by earmarked financiers and also delays WSDP phase II preparations;

(iv) Inadequate contract and financial management capacity of the staff to carry out their

duties causing delays in the disbursement of funds for certified works and delays in

implementation and postponement of some of the planned activities;

(v) Long procurement processes especially the World Bank prior review/no-objection

process has resulted in delayed completion of most undertakings; and

(vi) Non implementation of the CD Plans also hampers efficient implementation of the

programme especially training of staff.

(b) Recommendations for Improvement

(i) DPs and MoW should revert to disbursing funds according to disbursement projections

as far as data verification loaded in the MIS was completed;

(ii) Operationalisation of MIS to generate an accurate prediction of the cash flow demand

based on time bound contractual commitments will minimize the current bottleneck of

delayed disbursements. MIS will overcome most of the constraints experienced to date

by facilitating data handling and improved analysis of data allowing this progress

reporting to be fed into the performance monitoring and learning system.

(iii) Expedite preparations for WSDP phase II without a bridging gap.

(iv) Expedite implementation of the Capacity Development (CD) Plans concurrently with

the conducting of the scheduled impact assessment study due to the current high

demand of technical staff in most departments.

(v) Reduce some of the stages in the World Bank prior-review to speed up the procurement

process.

10 PROPOSED UNDERTAKINGS FOR 2012 AND ROADMAP FOR THE

WSDP PHASE II

(a) Proposed Undertakings for 2012

The following undertakings were proposed for the year 2012.

(i) Preparation of WSDP Phase II-including its annexes-PIM, implementation guidelines

etc;

97

(ii) Linking the functional MIS with M&E framework for ensuring continuous updating of

data and information;

(iii) Finalise water point mapping, including its mechanism for data updating on

functionality and linking it to the functional MIS to improve infrastructure monitoring

and quality reporting.

Finalise the WRM financing options study and start implementing its recommendations.

(iv) Finalise the new Institutional setup that is more efficient, accountable and transparent to

implement WSDP.

(b) Road Map for Preparation of WSDP Phase II

Preparation of the WSDP Phase II should be undertaken on the basis of the whole programme

rather than allowing each component to have its own plan and approach. The preparation of

WSDP phase II will be carried by GoT in close collaboration with DPs and other stakeholders

by engaging multi-disciplinary consultant who will conduct evaluation study on

implementation of Phase I. The evaluation report will feed into preparation of WSDP phase II.

Implantation of WSDP Phase II is expected to commence in July 2014.

The following matrix summarize the action plan for preparation of WSDP phase II by showing

the proposed actions, the means of execution, proposed activities, time frame for each activity

and expected output.
