Detailed framework and workplan to operationalise the sanitation connection action plan for mtendere

This assignment relates to the Kaunda Square Sewershed expansion component, and specifically to the sewer expansion in Mtendere. The component involved the construction of a new sewer reticulation system in Mtendere to which households will be expected to connect. Over 9,000 households were expected to benefit from this intervention. This specific assignment addressed the requirement to “give effect” to the Sanitation Connection Action Plan (SCAP) via the development of a detailed framework and work plan to operationalise it. The project objectives that needed to be implemented involved the provision of cost estimates for the household connections to the sanitation network infrastructure assets and the design and cost estimation for suitable household infrastructure, i.e. water closets (WC). The level of implementation is expected to be over 80% in order for the Sanitation Network to function efficiently. The project’s outcome will have significant impact on future endeavors in similar areas in Zambia, as it identifies the problems and risks within the parameters given. The total gravity flowing sewerage network that was examined has a length of approximately 82,000 m.
