Description

This is the design document for Australia's A$300 million Water and Sanitation Initiative (WSI), being implemented from July 2009 to June 2011.

The Africa Water and Sanitation Program (AWSP) is the largest regional/country program supported by the WSI and focuses on sub-Saharan Africa. The AWSP is a key part of Australia's expanded support to Africa. Australian funding will be used to support the Government of Zambia's efforts to increase access to water supply and sanitation services in poor urban areas. This will be achieved through co-financing the German Government-funded water sector reform program, implemented by GIZ over 2010 to 2012 (current budget phase of Euro 6.2 million). GIZ act under commission of the German Federal Ministry For Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). WSI funds of A$4 million are allocated to the program for financial year 2010–11.
