conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:09 authored by Anna Tufvesson, Anatory Bunduki, L.M.Z. Butoto, Daniel MkareThe HESAWA (Health through Sanitation and Water) programme was implemented by the Government of Tanzania with
financial support from Sida (Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency). It reached some 3,000,000 people
in the Lake Zone between 1985 and 2002. Since 2002, the Tanzanian stakeholders strive to sustain and replicate the
benefits of HESAWA without specific external support. This paper gives a picture of the situation in Mwanza Region 2002
- 2005. It suggests that the overall performance is largely in line with expectations, but with some interesting deviations
such as the sustained commitment by most water user groups and regional and district administration. From this can be
drawn some lessons for the future for the HESAWA stakeholders, and for other programmes planning for phasing out and
sustainability. In particular, usefulness of careful institution building and human resources development at all levels.
