ZIMBABWE - VISION

This vision aims to restore Zimbabwe as a leader in Africa for providing quality water, sanitation, and hygiene services to its population. Key goals include enhancing service delivery, improving sector financing, strengthening regulation, and reducing open defecation. Challenges include limited access to funds, outdated infrastructure, and weak coordination. Progress has been made in finalizing policies and implementing strategies, but areas of slow achievement remain. Commitments for 2014 include operationalizing the institutional framework, enhancing monitoring, and completing the rehabilitation of WASH services.
