Devolution Trust Fund, phase II

Description

As part of a fund, the Devolution Trust Fund (DTF), funds were made available for improving the water supply and sanitation in urban peripheral areas across the whole of Zambia on the basis of transparent criteria. The promoted infrastructure is operated by private urban water companies (commercial utilities, CUs). Financing was used for water kiosks and also water supply networks with household connections, as well as a small number of decentralised wastewater disposal measures. On a smaller scale, efficiency measures for existing water supply systems were also financed. Management of the DTF was supported by a social and an implementation consultant. The social consultant mainly executed hygiene-related measures for the target group.
