NGO's working on water in the region-World Vision included-is the provision of
portable water through boreholes fitted with manual pumps. The residents complained
that they did not have enough water to satisfy their primary needs and hygienic was a
distant secondary concern.

Waithaka, A. et.al. (2016) in 'The Impact of Community Participation in Rural Water
Management in Ndarugu-Thiririka Sub-Catchment, Athi Basin, Kenya', assessed the
effects of community participation in the rural water supply operation in the catchment
areas, which focused on four community-based rural water supply regions; namely,
Kinyathena, Juja Farm, Munyu and Kamunyaka. The study explored that the
embracing of community participation required due to the incapability of government
to provide water supply service to the necessities. Thus, participatory approach (from
top-bottom approach to bottom-top approach) has been extended as significant
support for allowing local people to participate in decision making in the water supply
project.

Sanitation and Water for All (SWA) report released by Tanzania in 2012, highlights
that the Government of Tanzania commits to provide an additional 27 million people
with access to sanitation. This will bring the proportion of people with access to
improved sanitation to 53%. While this commitment is commendable, more efforts are
needed considering the fact that the current coverage is at 12%. The current investment
in Tanzania is less than 0.1% of the GDP, therefore reaching these commitments will
require analysis of current financing for sanitation. The commitment of the
Government to provide an additional 4.2 million people with access to water in
Tanzania is also commendable and will bring the proportion of people with access to
improved water supply to 65%. However, issues around equity should be considered
to increase services to the most marginalized groups and to make sure more resources
are targeted to them. The Government's commitment to pursue good governance of
budget allocation should go together with capacity building interventions to the Local
Government Authorities (LGAs), especially on the use of findings from the water
point mapping data for planning and equitable distribution of resources. Finally,
commitment of the Government to attend future SWA meetings and officially join
[Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey (2010) Water and Sanitation Program
(2011)] the SWA partnership is a commendable decision and the Government is
encouraged to honor these international commitments Although not all
announcements tabled by the Government of Tanzania at the HLM were new, a
number of significant commitments were discussed. Thus, this report basically
considers the SWA program which carried out in Tanzania, but it did not consider the
existing research area of this study.

The Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) is a multi-donor partnership administered
by the World Bank to support poor people in obtaining affordable, safe and sustainable
access to water and sanitation services in the rural areas in many underdeveloped and
