USAID/TANZANIA WATER RESOURCES INTEGRATION DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE (WARIDI) ANNUAL REPORT, FISCAL YEAR 2018 OCTOBER 2017–SEPTEMBER 2018 This document was produced by Tetra Tech for review by the United States Agency for International Development/Tanzania (USAID/Tanzania). PREFACE Tanzania’s health, economy, and food security depend on sustainably managed water resources. However, water scarcity challenges are growing along with the impacts of climate change, while reliable access to safe drinking water and sanitation services is still beyond the reach of far too many people. To work towards addressing these interconnected, water-related challenges, USAID’s Tanzania Water Resources Integration Development Initiative (WARIDI) promotes integrated water resources management and delivery of services across multiple sectors, with the specific goal of improvement of water resources management, improved service access and climate change adaptation in Tanzania. Specifically, in selected LGAs of the Rufiji and Wami-Ruvu river basins, the project will work to: • Component 1 – Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Services: Increase utilization of sustainable multiple-use water and sanitation services • Component 2 – Governance: Strengthen governance for sustainable and resilient management of water resources and services under a changing climate • Component 3 – Private Sector: Increase livelihoods through private sector investment opportunities for sustainable water services, agriculture and natural resource management This publication was produced for review by the United States Agency for International Development by Tetra Tech, through the Water and Development IDIQ (Contract No. AID-OAA-I-14-00068) Task Order No. AID-621-TO-16-00003, Water Resources Integrated Development Initiatives.

Specifically, in selected districts of the Rufiji and Wami-Ruvu river basins, the project: Component 1 – Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Services: Increases access to sustainable multiple-use water, sanitation and hygiene services; Component 2 - Governance: Strengthens governance for sustainable and resilient management of water resources and services under a changing climate; Component 3 - Private Sector: Increases livelihoods through supporting private sector opportunities in sustainable WASH services, agriculture and natural resource management. WARIDI works through national and local government authorities, the two Basin Boards, communities, private entities and civil society to improve equitable delivery of water-related services and to enhance integrated watershed management approaches from basin to household level. WASH and livelihood services focus on demand-driven requests from up to 20 Local Government Authorities (LGAs) receiving project support, while emphasizing private-sector partnerships for efficiency and sustainability, through the lenses of climate change adaptation, gender integration and youth inclusion. Highlights of WARIDI achievement for FY 2018 include: Component 1 – Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Services • In FY18 WARIDI completed 10 out of 16 construction projects in the first five LGAs. The remaining six schemes will be completed in Q1 of FY19. The ten completed projects serve an estimated 65,714 people based on 2017 LGA Population Projections. In Q4 WARIDI began technical
