Rural Climate Resilient Water Safety Planning in Tanzania: Meeting Report

The purpose of this training event was to strengthen national capacity for the development of climate resilient WSPs in rural areas. In particular, the training focused on two pilot water supplies, namely, the communities of Mbande and Mkambarani, which may serve as a model for national scale-up. The training event complimented an urban training event that took place in Kigoma in September 2016, and included specific consideration of climate impacts and locally appropriate mitigation measures in the context of rural Tanzania. The training was tailored specifically based on the needs of the water supplier, and a “template” WSP was developed to support future climate resilient WSP piloting and scale-up.
